Spring at Studland 9th - 11th May

Rick Martin said

Rin has just advised me that she won't be there after all.  You might want to check with her whether that means just for me or for the whole weekend, but the front page needs updating either way.

So, looking for another (female) model for my half day, with all the concepts all in place.  Creams/pastels, lacy clothing or lingerie, working with the amazing and beautiful Chiara Elisabetta, and it has to be either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.

I am available to shoot on the Sunday morning Rick :) Just sent you a personal message :)

Still free Sunday afternoon is anyone's interested... If not, I'll just hang around, drinking coffee, causing mayhem & mischief and most likely, photobombing. 

Really looking to seeing you all! Can't wait!!! :)

Thank you Rick - you got here before I did! Yes, sadly I will not be available for the whole weekend now for personal reasons. Very sad to be missing a Studland :( I'm sure you'll all have a wonderful time though.

For anyone arriving tomorrow I'll be opening up at about 10.30 (ish) after I've done some shopping and running around. Feel free to arrive any time after that. Or turn up earlier and have a wander round :)

Its very important that rooms are available to shoot in by 9am. Please dont think that its OK to hog the room you've slept in, leaving light stands and suitcases lying around if you are not actually in the room shooting. 

The hotel has given us the use of a suite of rooms usually used by staff relatives when visiting. Basic - but clean and with an absurdly excellent 'wet room' shower. Rather than trying to cram people into every bedroom in the house I probably will put a few more of you in the hotel and keep the largest shooting bedrooms available for shooting in at all times.

The weather forecast aint great I'm afraid. However, with only 7 or 8 photographers on any given day there shouldnt be any issues with everyone having to stay indoors. Usually the gardens and beach are very popular and sometimes the house is rather empty. If its pouring down with rain then the 'best' rooms will be at a premium and its even more important that we all make an effort to move around as much as possible and if not shooting in a room to move everything out of that room so others can use it.

For those of you staying tomorrow night the village hall is open to 2am (officially - sometimes it stays open all night) for cheap beer and cider. Its a little rustic but is usually good fun. Occasionally they even have a disco!! I'm happy to drive into Swanage to pick up takeaway (no one delivers to Studland) or we can go out and eat pizza or something. The kitchen is free to use of you prefer to cook your own and I'll do a bacon roll breakfast with hot croissants from the bakery in Swanage.

So - looking forward to seeing you all. I'm sure we'll have a great time and make some pretty pictures :)

I am super dooper looking forward to it. I am packing my stuff now in my very oversized suitcase now as I write this. I am very excited and can not wait to meet everyone there :) I vote for pizza for takeaway :)

I've got the essentials, 2 wine boxes, pringles and jaffa cakes.......ahhhh camera. 

Just casting out for any models free on sunday 12-2pm.  Ive got a small gap in otherwise a full day and seems a shame to waste a couple of hours.

I am very interested :) Just personally messaged you :)

Looks like Stufland might have defied the weatherman yet again. It's warm and sunny here today - lets hope we stay lucky

Looks like we are in for a treat! Tomorrow night a Hillbilly Punk band is playing at the village social club!

Awesome :)

Looking forward to seeing you all

The forecast for tomorrow has inproved a lot since yesterday as well.

Have fun everyone! Looking forward to seeing the results :)

Awwww Rin. Such a shame you can't make it. You are my guaranteed FPI model, even a 5 minute shoot with you usually bags a couple :(

I'm sure we could have squeezed in a quickie

Just heard that Chezza is on her way, expecting Nutley and Natasha any minute and just enjoying the sun on the verandah before it all kicks off :)

Well I am nearly in Salisbury so I am getting there slowly but surely.

Oh dear!

My model for tomorrow has just cancelled!

Guess I'll try a casting :(
