Photo shoot with Dina in Halstead, Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

This is our third shoot together - we have such a laugh.  When we finished chatting and I remembered how to shoot we captured some really great imagery, in the short time we had we still managed to shoot in three locations and had three outfit changes.  Below are a selection of photographs from the shoot, if you want to see more then visit my facebook fan page where they'll be uploaded when I've finished the rest of the edit.

I've sampled some of my new post production techniques on these images and I'm really loving the look and feel I'm creating.  All images were lit with either a mixture of nikon speedlights, daylight balanced video light or just available daylight.

photoshoot with Sabrina in Halstead, Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

Over Christmas I was out walking my dog when she discovered a hole in the fence leading into the grounds of what used to be an adult education college... I had walked past this building loads in the past wishing I could get in there to shoot, it never looked possible as security was really tight until now. Finding the way in I've now promoted Holly (my dog) to chief location scout, i'm not sure she's that bothered by the promotion though ...lol...  

I decided to run an advert via the starnow website & get a shoot planned for sometime in January, you'll see by the images below the shoot went ahead and I loved the results Sabrina and myself achieved.

Another location we used was the church at the bottom of town, it opened recently for people to visit, its no longer a working church but the interior is still stunning.

The day of the shoot we started in the Church and finished in the derelict building, I loved the shoot it was a great day even though it was bitterly cold we produced some great imagery that I love...

For your enjoyment (hopefully :) I have selected a bunch of favourites to give you a flavour of the shoot ....
