Beautiful Women and One Final Shoot



Over the years I've met and photographed some beautiful women. The reason behind almost all the photographs is the Fringe. If I havent photographed them as part of the Festival, they have seen my work achieved during the Festival and that has swayed their judgement in using me as a photographer.

From the Fringe came work with Night clubs and then on to dancers and models and the Edinburgh College of Art Fashion Show. I have photographed Weddings even though I hate the idea of that as a job. I want only the best out of everything I do and some people just produce production line photography.

During my Fringe run this year I took a final few moments out of my busy schedule. The party over, the exhibition almost complete and my last year on the High Street winding to a conclusion. An hour to “chill out” away from everything Fringe and Festival related.

Always looking for beautiful women to shoot, but most of the time to scared to ask.

That evening I met a stunning young woman. Her eyes drew me to her, full of colour and life. I offered her the chance to let me add her to my ever growing portfolio of stunning women, she said yes, but it would be a few weeks before time would be right for both of us to meet up on a Sunday. She had a parachute jump to do and one or two other thing like work and her birthday to get over first.

Then two weeks ago I got a call from a friend; he was looking for photos in his full Highland dress. I’d said I’d get it done when time allowed.

Last week weather against us, not my choice of day, we headed down to Holyrood park and managed to get a couple of films run off. My one concern now was that I didn’t want the last person I photograph to be a guy, however good the whole Jacobean outfit looked. I want to end on having photographed a beautiful, stunningly attractive woman and luckily it does now look like that will be a great possibility.

I ran into her again on a break from work and was able to run off a couple of test films yesterday which turned up some cracking shots. Now I can’t wait for the Sunday where both she and I can get out for a couple of hours and I can truly capture the true nature of her beauty. But if that doesn’t happen at least I’ve got a few beautiful shots already in the bag!

And I can retire a happy photographer.

Then I can finally hang up my camera happy I’ve ended on a High.
