Neil Lynchehaun • 5 March 2023

Collaborative location shoot for models, designers, PMs, BAs and photographers at Media City UK

Simply Unique PR organised a casting day at Media City UK, bringing creatives together on a full day shoot. It provided an opportunity for models, designers, project managers, admins and photographers to work together, building confidence and building portfolios.

I supported the day as one of two togs taking pictures.

We agreed a shoot plan and met at Splash Point Studio in Rhyl for a three-hour shoot. Pan' brought a few changes of outfits. The clothing changes and various lighting setups, allowed us to get a variety of images, which meet Spotlight requirements. It was great shooting with Pan. He is an absolute gentleman. We got a whole load of images, which Pan could choose from, there and then on my laptop. Pan is an aspiring actor, in training. He is working towards opening his Spotlight profile.

I did a commercial shoot for an independent fashion designer in 2022. During the catalogue style shoot, we took time to capture more artistic images for brand promotion and marketing. The client said "...The photos are just breath taking!..." Model EmmaRossModel.co.uk liked the creative images so much, she wanted to submit them to Figgi Magazine. We were delighted that all seven submitted images were used and made the cover. Check out my portfolio now. Click on and image below to see the full image>>

Professor John is a super friendly man. John wanted head shots for both portrait purposes ("mug shots" as John called them) and as source images for a painted portrait, of him to join the gallery of his distinguished predecessors of the medical department he heads up. We agreed a 2-hour shoot plan at Libre Studio in Liverpool. John brought several changes of outfit. We had a fun time creating a variety of looks with carefully staged lighting, for casual images, fun shots and formal portraits as source material for the painter to be commissioned. It was a real pleasure to meet a great man, who has done so much for medicine and is a super-nice guy.

I had the great pleasure to meet Angel and Liam for a shoot at their lovely home in Eccles, near Manchester. I set up the lighting and had a few test shots with Angel. In a very short time we were finding her "signature look". A few outfit changes and lighting changes made time fly. Angel took direction brilliantly, quickly learning to find her light and pose. I think Angel has a really strong commercial look. Angel has ambitions in fashion modelling. Then quickly reset for Liam. I felt really short (I'm 5' 11") with Liam towering above me, so much so, I had to raise the backdrop to keep it out of frame. Liam was really involved as we played around with lighting and bounce position. I shoot tethered, so my clients can see results on a large screen as we shoot. I've never seen it before, but it kind of makes sense; Liam flipped the images to get the "selfie" view that was more familiar and natural to him. Angel, Liam and their family are absolutely lovely. If you have opportunities that you would like me to pass on, you can contact me via the contact form . Please take a look at my portfolio and get in touch to arrange your shoot.

Shot a UK compliant digital passport photo today for a lovely client who is a wheelchair user. High street brands have failed to accommodate her needs and won't make the effort to help get the right shot. I'm very happy to help. Easy setup, shooting tethered (so you we can see the images as we shoot) and templates ready to ensure compliance with passport offices. (I have UK,Irish and Canadian templates and happy to make more.) Take a look at my portfolio here Get in touch today via the contact us form

It's taken me a bit of time to get around to editing these. I had a fabulous weekend with my brother at Goodwood on the Friday, Dunsfold (Top Gear track) driving super cars on the Saturday and at Duxford for the Battle of Britain airshow on the Sunday. What a weekend!! These aren't my usual genre, but I thought I would share. It was fantastic to see so many airworthy aircraft, including a massive wing of Spitfires.

So many people made such an effort dressing up. It's a fabulous event. Thank you John for organising it. If you would like a print of any of the images, without my logo, just get in touch.

Calvin Williams is a great recording artist, bringing the first of a series of records out on Spotify. He is a really nice man and a pleasure to work with. He had clear ideas of the look he wanted for his artwork. We quickly got the look he wanted and tweaked it to get a range of headshots out for him.

Zoë leads an incredible life, working as a physical training instructor, representing Great Britain in Judo and aspiring to compete in the terrifying skeleton bobsleigh.
