We were very lucky today, when we arrived at the portrait shoot, the weather was very overcast and wet. Within 45 minutes of us starting though, the weather changed into quite a lovely day! Our model, Mark Davies was as brilliant as ever to work with and myself and my friend David enjoyed a couple of hours taking images.
Today we were at Aberavon Beach, and I was armed with my Nikon Z6ii, the Nikkor 40mm F/2 and the Viltrox 85mm F/1.8. I used my Godox AD200 flash system, and then the raw images were edited in ON1 Photo Raw 2025. In all honesty, I loved the jpeg output of these images too, and I have posted a few to my Instagram account.
I hope you like these images, we went for a retro feel with the clothes.
As always, working with Mark and David was a lot of fun! I am really happy with the images, and I know Mark will be too. As always, comments and likes are always welcome!
Here is a photo of me and David, kindly taken on my camera by Mark.
Great photoshoot! It gave me a bit of a ‘movie star look’ feeling and reminded me of the classic British Avengers series with John Steed and Emma Peel. I bet many of these would look stunning in black and white too. Well done, Mark!
Thank you Marc. As you know, I’m not a huge fan of black and white, but I can see the potential for a few b&W artistic edits so I might just do some!
