Photo shoot with Kelly Pepper | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

This was my 3rd photo shoot with Kelly this time taking place in Bermondsey Village near London Bridge.  It's a location I use a lot because it gives me so many possibilities for backdrops and it's fairly quiet too so you don't get disturbed while shooting there.

Kelly is musician and songwriter, you should check out her website which contains all the links to her work.  If you'd rather check out her youtube channel directly you can do so here where you'll have access to her latest tracks.

All images were shot using a mixture of available light and off camera flash.

Hope you enjoy these images.

Take care!!!

"INTIMATE" London Boudoir Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Finally after waiting almost 2 years since I shot this boudoir session I have finally decided to let it loose on the world.  

I loved this shoot so much it was my first ever boudoir session and I'm an absolutely passionate about these images - that's why without doubt it's my biggest blog post so far with over 100 images on display below.

I've decided to display the photographs in a way to give them more of an album feel hopefully this will add to the impact for the viewer - all these images were shot on location in an amazing boutique hotel in London.

The amazing decor really added to the impact of the shots and we couldn't resist shooting in every part of the room - we had a great time.  I believe the images are the perfect example to show you how to create beautiful imagery in small places as long as you think outside the box anything is truly possible.  

At first I was a little concerned that the editing of these images wouldn't reflect my current style of post production but you know what I don't wanna change a thing, the shoot was a major turning point for me definitely one of the highlights of my photographic journey so far.

I really hope you love these shots as much as I do - now just sit back and enjoy viewing them.

London Fashion Photography | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Nearly two weeks ago what turned out to be one of the last days of decent weather before the April showers started we decided to shoot some imagery.  We started off in Bermondsey Village then moved over to More London on the Southbank, More London is a great area near London Bridge Underground Station but unfortunately like most parts of London nowadays its private property so you need to prepare yourself for dodging security guards.  

It really does annoy me that your everyday tourist has no problems taking photographs but as soon as you pull out a bigger camera you get jumped on and made to feel like you doing something so badly wrong - I personally think these job worth security guards need to start using common sense.

Again this shoot was with the lovely Dina she's been featured once or twice before - we always have a right good old laugh shooting and we always get great results, I hope you enjoy these images.

For those that are interested in the technical side of things all these shots were taken using only available light and shot with a Nikon 50mm prime lens.
