Breaking: another FPI on Purpleport! (Patreon)

Always a delight to receive one of those emails from Purpleport and to see one‘s work featured on the front page of this - arguably the top - model photography site in the UK, if not also the whole of Europe. 

This is now my second FPI with the talented Poppy Haskell.  Both FPIs are from the same scene, with Poppy looking mesmerised by an article in an old book, which was part of the decor of the room I stayed at on the south coast of England.  I must take credit for choosing such a nice room but all other credit goes to Poppy who spotted the book and wanted it to be part of the scene.  Of course Poppy’s outfit, expression and pose made a compelling composition, which my framing had to make justice to. 

It was the 22nd May 2023 and we only intended to do a beach shoot during the golden hour but we managed to squeeze in an hours shoot in the room before that,  by pure coincidence.  This was because another shoot of mine was cancelled while I was driving south.  I was caught up in a traffic jam on the M23 and couldn’t make it in time for my other shoot, which meant I had an extra hour spare In Littlehampton. I offered it to Poppy and she took it. The rest, as they say, is history!
