08 — Behave Yourself & Never Mind The Rest
Happy Easter guys! I got to shoot at Withamside House yesterday which was awesome, the colours in this room were perfect for my Easter themed photo. I wanted to go for something surreal & dreamy — also needed an excuse to buy 63 Easter eggs…
Pitching this idea to Spadge wasn’t easy, but luckily I did it wearing the mask & promised her she could eat all the eggs afterwards. I feel I should also point out that visibility in the mask was next to zero so I think she should get 10 extra bonus points.

Did a three light setup for this shot including a shoot through umbrella for the key light, a 28 inch Westcott Apollo to give the subject a little pop & you can just see the 3rd light outside through the window. Shame I couldn't get it a littler higher up… can someone buy me this boom stand?
Couple of alternate shots for you, I shot these with just the Apollo softbox over to the left and with my 50mm lens. More flattering — yes.
