I’ve been rather busy lately with booking weddings and photographing St Hugh’s & Corpus Christi college ball. Although I was originally booked by Corpus, the ball merged with St Hugh’s Ball because ticket sales were low. The combined ball was a much better size. We were only able to use one studio because space was at a premium for the ball, meaning we were busy throughout the night. At this ball we used a new vinyl background and projected different coloured background to suit the client’s clothes (hopefully). I think the results were good, particularly for 3/4 length shots. The main problem with full length shots was that the vinyl kept rucking up as we were unable to secure it at the sides, and the flooring was fairly soft.

P.S. If you’re organising a ball and want our services – please give us room to work!

P.P.S. Photos from this event are available to buy here

Saturday morning was spent doing a publicity shoot for Corpus Chirsti College’s Ball in Oxford. The ball is themed “Heaven & Hell”. The ideas for the posters were intended to be pretty unoffensive to most people, and revolved around the stereotypical concept of a angel and a demon sat on each shoulder trying to persuade a person one way or another. Some shots were done of each of the models individually, so that they can be scaled and photoshopped (not my job!) later. We also did some photos, as above, with all the models together. I think everything turned out pretty well and I look forward to seeing the posters up around Oxford.
