I had a fantastic half-day shoot at Dreamlands. Derek, the owner was very kind and allowed us to use not only the facilities but also a lot of props.

The studio itself has everything that photographers usually look for, lights, coffee and lots of space, including a very large but private outdoor area. It was sunny on the day so we got amazing shots both inside and outside.

I really enjoyed working at Dreamlands, and so did my model. We hope to be able to be there again soon. There's a lot more to explore. Thank you, Derek!

First #MASHUP®️ shoot of the year!

Thank you very much to Derek (Dreamlands Studio) for hosting my shoot once again.

Worked with Alex (ALX-Photo) once again, plenty of images were taken which will work very well as templates for new Graffiti Apparel and Canvas Bag designs. Look forward to viewing the digital edits and also working with them.

A simple shoot to start the year off with only two models this time around, plus an MUA. First time shooting with Holly (HollyB0bs), Lauren (Not on PP) and Saffron (MUA - Not on PP). Thank you to Lauren and Saffron for stepping in at very short notice!

Plenty of images, concepts have been taken and to design with, very happy! Look forward to working with them all again plus see Holly and Lauren wearing their ’own ranges’ plus further makeup concepts by Saffron.

I would definitely recommend everyone who I have mentioned above to work with! Great shoot and collaboration! Look forward to collaborating again.

Cheers, Lee.

I was part of a shoot at Dreamlands Studio, providing the bondage rigging. The studio is an excellent space, incredibly versatile and very comfortable to use.

Derek really looked after us well and made us feel very welcome. Along with another photographer Derek was taking his own photos and even the initial unedited shots looked excellent! I would thoroughly recommend Derek and his studio and hope to visit again in the future.

Another cracking TFP collaboration.

Thank you very much to Derek (Dreamlands Studio) for hosting my shoot once again.

Worked with Alex (ALX-Photo) once again, plenty of images were taken (well over 2000!) which will work very well as templates for new Graffiti Apparel and Canvas Bag designs. Look forward to viewing the digital edits and also working with them.

Lots of firsts! First shoot of 2019, first time working with Nikki, Merriam, Leigh and Marcus.

Great working with Alex, Derek and Naomi once again. Loved the concepts created by Nikki, looking forward to how the images look regarding the creations!

All four models were easy to work with and looked great modelling my new and now older Graffiti Apparel items, spray painted canvas bags and my snapback caps while incorporating their own wardrobes together with my items.

Marcus has an abundance of energy, lots of character and the first male model I have worked with.

Leigh attended for a couple of hours and created some sassy concepts which in sure will look great in the edits.

Naomi was attending for a second time and modelled her ’own range’ which looked very nice.

Merriam created some sublime concepts, sassy little numbers teamed up with my Graffiti Apparel. Also loved the final concept, great idea! Looking forward to viewing those edits!

Nikki attended for the first time, we spoke before the shoot regarding makeup ideas and even adapted creations on the day, loved the gold leaf idea. Think we can grow that idea on future shoots. Intrigued to view the edits and how Nikki's creations come out.

I would definitely recommend everyone who I have mentioned above to work with! Great shoot and collaboration! Look forward to collaborating again.

Cheers, Lee.

Derek made me feel at home at his gorgeous studio.

He is an amazing and friendly photographer and would recommend him to anyone looking to shoot.

Another great shoot at "Dreamlands" which boasts a lighting setup and range of props which would put a lot of commercial studios to shame. Always a pleasure shooting there !

Worked at Dreamlands for the first time the other day with ALX and it was great fun!

I’ve worked with Derek before breifly on a group shoot in the summer, so it was great to see him again and catch up.

The studio is great with loads of props and accessories available to use and the space is great with a nice seating area as well. I even got a few treats throughout the shoot which is always a real bonus for me!

Thanks again, and I’m sure it won’t be long until I’m back for another shoot! :D

ALX

It's always a pleasure working at this well-appointed studio. Derek has a huge range of props and lighting and his easy-going manner conceals a wealth of knowledge and skill which he is happy to share but without being 'pushy'.

Great studio + Great guy = Great experience.

Thank you very much to Derek (Dreamlands Studio) for hosting my shoot once again.

Worked with Alex (ALX-Photo) once again, plenty of images taken which will work very well as templates for new Graffiti Apparel and Canvas Bag designs. Look forward to viewing the digital edits and also working with them.

A few hiccups leading up to the shoot with the usual no responses, late dropouts etc. Especially after 15’ish yes’s which lead to splitting the shoot into two! This was shoot two and ended up with two models, but definitely happy with the way things panned out!

A HUGE thank you to Kim (MUA & model), Laura (second time shooting together) and Molly (first time shooting together and took direction from Alex ok)

Great working with Kim once again and viewing her MUA, loved the looks of Kim’s work and looking forward to how the images look regarding the creations!

Kim also jumping in modelling as well as MUA! All three were easy to work with and looked great modelling my new and now older Graffiti Apparel items! As well as new spray painted canvas bags and my snapback caps while incorporating their own wardrobes together with my items.

I would definitely recommend everyone who I have mentioned above to work with! Great shoot and collaboration!

Cheers, Lee.
