Model: Fearne Cotton

Alex Styles Photography has had one hell of a weekend. 

From Fashion to Celebs to Hair Salons to DJing this has been one busy week for us, and we've loved every second of it.

One of my goals in photography is to work with Celebrity's day in day out and for a brief 2mins on Saturday the 5th December it happened. Not only that but it happened with the one person I have dreamed about photographing since I first picked up a camera, Fearne Cotton. 

Fearne was as lovely as ever and so professional in front of the camera. 

For most of the day I was slummed with the rest of the press style photographers (which I hated), although I still got some great pics. However, although the pics we're good, I was hungry for more and something more fashionable than just smiling for the camera. 

I met Fearne backstage and asked her if I could just get a quick shot of her up against a plain white wall. It was only then when I asked if we could do something a bit more fashionable and asked her to just look really relaxed and natural to which she did. 

I am so happy with the final results, they look as if we had hours together when in reality we had literally 2mins max. 

Model: Jessica Bolas

Alex Styles Photography recently shot local Dancer / Singer Jessica Bolas. 

Jess is a good friend of mine and has recently set up girl group Glitzy Chicks who are based in the UK.

Glitzy Chicks are a girl group who specialise in a cabaret style of song and dance.  

Here are a few shots from her shoot. 

Model: Adam Marusiak

Alex Styles Photography shot Adam for the second time this year. 

Adam is so much fun when he comes in the studio and you can really see it throughout this range of images. 

His taste in music is also genius, by blasting some dirty Hip-Hop and RnB it really helped bring the shoot to life. 

He wanted to create a more edgy portfolio and I think together we nailed it. 

See what you think. 

Shoot: Lauren Bason

Alex Styles Photography today shot a modeling portfolio series for Lauren Bason a professional cyclist from Wolverhampton by day but practicing model by night.

We shot a range of different lighting and clothing changes throughout the day, alongside with Lauren's mum at hand to change the hair and make-up slightly throughout the day.

Here are a few images from the day.

Shoot: Hannah Singer

Hannah is a long friend of mine and she has been wanting to see the studio for ages. 

When she came I had to convince her several times to step in front of the camera. After a long hard hour of persuasion she finally gave in. 

I know she loved every second of it, even if she won't admit it but here are a few shots we got from the day. 

Happy Halloween from Alex Styles Photography

October is finally here which only mean one thing, Halloween is here.

Alex Styles Photography today shot a range of spooky portraits of the student promotion team at Walkabout in Wolverhampton.

We shot the series with a fisheye to give that extra bit of edge to the photos. The concave lens let's you get close and personal and also deforms the subject's look.

The night is going to consist of lots of fun, dancing and drinking and of course fancy dress.

Here are a range of the shots.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

Shoot: Andrew Tennant

It has been a while since Alex Styles Photography has had the chance to blog, but here we go. 

We recently shoot Andrew Tennant in the studio who rides professional for Team GB. Cyclist Andy is a good friend of mine and it has taken over a year to get a date sorted in which we could conduct the shoot. 

After a long long haul we finally got a date booked and had a great time. 

Andy was great in front of the camera and was open to a range of different ideas. We mainly focused on spot lighting as this really brought the GB colours in his outfit. 

Here are the results.
