Hey everyone,
Ok , maybe im a little early ..but i am always thinking ahead.
Every close to the year seems to bring about a new avenue of plans for the year ahead.
What are your plans for the year 2025?
Have you got your eye on a new lense or are you planning to shoot more or less this year?
How do you see 2025 in your eyes, in terms of photography/modelling ?
Are you planning on travelling or touring more?
Be great to hear your thoughts !!!

To start ticking off my photographic bucket list! And work with people on my wtw list who've been on it forever

Wow! you must be super organised Andy!
I am really looking forward to hosting you in the Alps in March ! .. I cannot wait for the trip.
I have a lucky invitation out to Austria this weekend, so looking forward to this and also potentially scouting the area and enjoying a short trip away.
I am back out in Chamonix in December for some quality time with the family, and looking so forward to introducing the area to photograghers who are on board!
I am also investng in new equipment this year, making the move over to photography is very exciting for me! I have no idea what i will produce but i hope others enjoy my new works!
Looking forward to meeting you !

Wing it as usual if it stops raining.
lol, The rain isnt so bad if you can find a model willing to shoot in it!
I'm old and creaky and I'm already cutting down on shoots. Got an 'orrible feeling that next year will be my last of doing this. So I need to make a concerted effort to do what's left on the 'must do' list while I'm still able to.
Even so, still hope to do a location shoot whenever we go on holiday. I like working somewhere new with someone I wouldn't usually get the chance of working with. Four hols (all in UK) lined up so far.

Sounds like a good plan.
I also plan to do the same with my touring events next year. I havent finalised my calender just yet, but alot of places to visit!
I am hoping to get more into europe this year again, as iv kind of neglected it a bit!
I heard recently that its common for british models to stay within the uk, i hope to change that this year !
Good luck on your tours

Aww dont say that!
You have been forever admired Orson for your works. You seem to have a good set up in your local area and have a good selection of local models.
Your work is "timeless" so hopefully you keep live and kicking for a few more years !

I will be continuing shooting my anonymous project thanks to all of the models who applied to my casting (too many to shoot all of you, but your responses were appreciated anyway)
I have also just started getting back into shooting video, and that will be my other focus
I'm afraid I don't plan.
I just react to whatever happens.
I will try and shoot as many times with as many models as I can.
And as many different moods and feelings as I can.
So what happens will be what happens.
The favourite work of mine last year was a back to back sequence of three fully planned, styled, and thought trough concepts (With Rebecca T, Irida and Birgitte) with an MUA. So while I love the relaxed, impromptu, wing it sessions, I want to do more of the fully planned variety. I have about half a dozen concepts in various stages of planning (and outfits being made) so looking forward to that!
Unfortunately it will a very much reduced activity next year. The pension needs to be protected for things life throws at one as years tick by. Thinking of reducing my equipment too, wanted to go mirrorles but just can't justify.
Had some good times and hope to shoot with a few good friends to keep my hand in.
We’ve been working on a short film of our own and not for somebody. Collecting WWII uniforms, working on scripts, and starting on creating aerial dogfights(very slow complex hair pulling swearing endeavours) 2025 is going to be busy but tremendous fun year.
A delicate balance of trying to push myself to do something different whilst not stressing myself out over a supposedly fun hobby but you know 2025 is all about create exuberant, live vivid , break moulds and delete ordinary .. god knows what the photos gonna look like… probably gunna hate em.
