I'm always on the lookout for inspiring backgrounds for my outdoor portraits, particularly for model shoots. When I visited Hoxton recently I knew that I wanted to take some photos here - from grungy doorways to brightly-painted hoardings, it's a photographer's dream; as is my lovely friend Anna, who as well as looking gorgeous and having a great personality, also possesses some wonderful vintage dresses.
I didn't really have a particular "look" in mind for this shoot, apart from wanting some glamorous shots, and so I just asked Anna to bring along a selection of dresses, with perhaps something quirky thrown in for good measure. As you can see, she didn't disappoint - thank you Anna for a great day!
It really was serendipitous that after an overcast day, the sun just happened to come out as we just happened to be passing this wall and Anna just happened to have on the right dress! Both the quality and the direction of the light were perfect for this shot.
