It's not every day we get to shoot gorgeous British models ... in London ... in fabulous clothes ... with flawless skin ... and choose to stay in the Holiday Inn to do it. But hey: when most attendants are used to shooting at castles and what *we* think of as the quaint streets of London, it made sense to push them a little ... or a lot :)
We're glad to have been asked to be part of the first-ever Floshops in London, UK. It was a smashing success in all respects, but one of the most rewarding parts was seeing lightbulbs (no pun intended) go off as we demonstrated simple yet effective lighting techniques which create dramatic beauty in any shooting scenario. We were floored to see what people were shooting after their time with us and think everyone came away a little more unafraid of what formerly would be considered challenging surroundings.
All I can say is the Holiday Inn never looked so good ;)
Here's some of the pics of our fabulous models, Alexia and Toby (Yes: they're absolutely as gorgeous in real life. No: they aren't available: they're a real-live couple of sweethearts :)).
More Best Part: Making so many GREAT friends. Crazy to think there were people from 8 countries represented from as near as London, Spain, Scotland, Italy, Switzerland and Germany to as far as San Fran, New York and Mexico (!?!?).
MAN do we miss our new Floshop buddies :( Thank goodness for blogs, fb and twitter which make the world a smaller place :) Hugs around the world to y'all :)
More to come from our travels soon ....
congrats on the first Floshops success :) how could it go any other way with you two? the first image and the fifth image are uberly-hip! love 'em!
best to you both, andrew+katrina

Thank you both so much!!! I am in just such awe of you as artists, teachers, professionals, parents and friends. You have such a positive, energetic and insightful look at life that it's hard not to be anything but all that when around you! I learned more last week about photography, myself and my work than I have in the past few years combined!!! I have you all to thank for all the growth that is to come. xoxo.k
