Clothed photo-set: Dmac

When we shot Dmac's summer photoset last year we also snuck in this more appropriate clothed series so it's great to finally be able to share it with you! While the background might be a little neutral Dmac's implicit grace and energy should be enough to brighten up the start of anybody's February.

As temperatures plummet here in the UK we lean into the saying that there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes; so Patch has layered up with the best of them. As part of this shoot Olly was keen to play around a different set of lights and gobos to create a dappled light effect. This is certainly challenge-level lighting for drawing, ...
