Steampunk Photoshoot

Collaborating with local creatives can bring a completely different dimension to a group photoshoot – a theme that would not normally be possible on a commercial / editorial shoot, a relaxed pace and the sharing of ideas and equipment, along with new locations you would not consider as an option. Leicester based Solo Studio hosts regular group shoots with an amazing collection of photographers and models.

Images below are from a recent Steampunk themed group shoot in a local industrial area within Leicester.

For this shoot I used my Nikon D800 with off-camera SB-800 speedlight with an Octabox modifier, trigged with PocketWizard FlexTT5 / MiniTT1.

A doorway is always a great place to frame a shot
A mix of off-camera flash and the setting sun to create an image of old and new. With an abundance of signs around the sight, sometimes it is easier to to incorporate them into the images. With Gail Noble.

My favourite doorway on the site. I love the old brick texture and colours, and the space provides a great frame for Gail. Very Victorian.
