Summer 2022 Teaser (Patreon)

We were back in the Brighton Studio with Olly Hearsey this week shooting our new life, portrait and clothed photo-sets! In response to feedback we lit these slightly differently to recent sets, darkened the backgrounds and exploring a greater variety of angles on poses. We also quadrupled the photos in our sculpture poses to give a wider range of options for everybody who uses the rotations. We're pleased to welcome Kimi, Kat, Lilith, Arthur and Naomi to the Patreon - they'll now be benefiting from the monthly income that we distribute to all of the models featured on here and we have some amazing images from the shoot to inspire your work! Below you'll find a schedule of when some of those images will one released and a set of images for you to work from. 

Future shoots
We are currently planning (and saving!) for our next shoot in Autumn when we'll putting all of your recent feedback into practice! We'll be shooting the following sets this autumn/winter:

• In-context photo-set: The domestic interior (baths, kitchens & group scenes)
• Artist-themed photo-sets: Paula Rego, Claire Partington & Jenny Saville
• Portrait & Life photo-set (focusing on dramatic, single-direction lighting)
• Portrait photo-sets (focusing on guest models of different ages)

Happy drawing,

Jake
