Astley Shoot Out

[Andy C]

Throughly enjoyable evening
For my first 'shoot out' I was a little apprehensive, However once I got there, found it really enjoyable, certainly looking forward to the next one.
It was also nice to finally be able to put into practice all the bits and bobs I have read up on (still need lots more practice though) and also picked up some more techniques.
It was especially satisfying to photograph models, who, I have to say, were excellent, not once did they complain about what was asked of them and always tried to smile and look into eveyones lens. For me it was a huge step from trying to persuade/black mail the kids into posing for me (they are only 7yrs and 21months).
Thanks to everyone involved in making tonight happen.

Finally, I'm not very good with names and don't want to give my photographs the wrong names, could someone clarify who each model was.

Thanks, Andy

Hi

The models were called:
Jade - Dark brown hair
Chantelle - Very blond hair
Emma - Dark hair with red bits and top hat
Lucy - Blond/light brown hair

I took Jade and Chantelle home, they really enjoyed the evening too and said they would be happy to model for us again.

They have asked if some of the photos that were take could be either put on disc for them or printed off, they would be really grateful if you could do that for them.

See you all tomorrow night at the club.
Best Wishes
Tracey
