Somewhere in Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 14th March 2025.
Notice: The photo is not geotagged, and I won’t mention where exactly. This is out of respect for the models’ privacy and safety, if the photo-shoot is at or around their homes.
About the photograph.
This is Kylie Britain, a model I booked for a two hours outdoor photo-shoot.
She is seen posing in a casual winter style outfit demonstrating a white T-shirt, blue jeans tucked into below-knee length boots, and a large blue M&S faux fur coat. The blue fur coat is part of their M&S Collections range. She is also wearing her own bobble hat.
While planning the photo-shoot, I asked her to wear whatever casual outfit she thinks goes well with the blue fur coat, which is why she chose to use the bobble hat.
The photo was taken on the grounds of a former garden centre, long since closed down and knocked down.
In the photograph, she is seen posing with my Minolta X-700 manual focus 35mm film SLR camera, which I have since 1985, but sadly stopped working, so I kept it purely for sentimental value and as props.
She is posing as if she’s someone, an artist or a photographer, whom is out and about, doing some photography.
Kylie is also an actress, have appeared in various publication, and have her own video channel on her website.
About M&S.
Marks and Spencer, often commonly abbreviated as M&S, was formed in 1884 by Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer in Leeds, as a penny bazaar.
Over the next many years, they moved to different towns and cities, and had many market stalls around the North West of England. Spencer passed away in 1905, and Marks died in 1907.
Michael Marks’s son, Simon Marks became the chairman, acquired other penny bazaars, and the company grew into a retail empire.
They sold textiles and food, they also sold clothes under the St Michael brand, which was then dropped in 2000. M&S often sells quality food and clothes.

Car park at St Julian Inn, Newport, Wales, United Kingdom.
Maes parcio yn St Julian Inn, Casnewydd, Cymru.
Morning of Wednesday 8th February 2023.

About the photographs.
Am y ffotograffau.
This is Olivia, a model I booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, outside of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd).
Olivia is wearing a winter outfit containing of a Size L cream coloured faux fur jacket with hood, from New Look. She is also wearing a light blue turtleneck jumper, trousers with shiny strips down the length, and white trainers.
In those photographs, she is seen posing with my Minolta X-700 manual focus 35mm film SLR camera, which I have since 1985, but sadly stopped working, so I kept it purely for sentimental value and as props.
She is posing as if she’s checking the camera setting and looking to take some shots. Those photographs are as stand alone photos and also as part of a graphic design asset.
The vehicle behind her is a 2005 Land Rover Freelander.
It is a diesel 2.0L Td4 SE model with manual gearbox, and a BMW M47 engine. The tyres are BF Goodrich T/A KO2 All Terrain tyres on steel wheels. The Freelander was an entry-level Land Rover from 1997 to 2006, before being replaced by the Freelander 2 until 2015.
The location is the car park next to St Julian Inn, on the south bank of the River Usk.
With special thanks to the manager/owner of St Julian Inn for giving me permissions to use the car park.
As Olivia was booked for two-hours, we stayed at this location only for 50 minutes before moving to another location. Nothing wrong there, just that I needed a change of background. Those will be uploaded to my Photostream in near future.
What is this all about?
This is the first in a series of a long-term project I started working on, which is called Project: Freelander Ladies. It is a variation of the so called Land Rover Girls type of photographs. Generally, the majority of the Land Rover Girls kind of photos tend to be of younger women posing next to mostly either the Series or the Defender production models, and less common are the Discovery or Range Rover models. There are barely enough photos of women posing next to a Freelander, so my aim is to create some, specially for the Freelander owners and fans to enjoy.
In addition to this being a “cars and girls” kind of photography which is the main role, there are other roles, including photographs needed for a graphic design project. In this case, I needed Olivia to pose as if she is either a journalist or private detective taking photos, for the purpose of designing a book cover or a DVD case cover. I will showcase those photos in near future.
Trivia: I directed Olivia on posing as a character taking photos of suspicious activity, by saying to her something like “Imagine in your mind, you’re a detective taking photos of someone to be used as evidence.” So Olivia posed in ways that I considered to be what I’m looking for, the right kind of photos I needed (i.e.: for back cover of a DVD case design).
But there was this one time that she posed by looking at the back of the camera, pretending to be checking photos on an LCD screen. I had to stop shooting, and explained that this part is a bad idea. I explained that anyone familiar with cameras may recognise it as a manual focus film camera, which does not have a monitor on the back for checking photos. In novels or movies, this would be what is called a “plot hole” or “anachronism.” I suggest that if she wants to pose as if checking the camera, she could pretend to be checking the control settings on top of the camera.

Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd), Wales, United Kingdom, Friday 29th January 2016.
About the photograph.
This is Lulu, wearing a medium length, size 22, brown faux fur coat with hood, from M&Co. Here, she is seen with the hood up.
Lulu is a model I booked for a two hours outdoors photo-shoot, in and around Newport, Wales. For the outdoors photo-shoot, you can view them in my Album titled “Lulu”
After the outdoors part was done, there was plenty of time left out of the two-hours booked slot, there was maybe 30 minutes, maybe 45 minutes, left out of the 2 hours.
Lulu did not like the idea of myself paying a full 2 hours fee for just like 1 hour of photo-shoot, so she and her husband let me use their made-shift studio in a spare room, to do some more photography.
I agreed and took the opportunity to build up more experience.
Between 1985 to 1999, because I am a deaf person, I have struggled with getting a college course in photography, struggled to get a job working in photography, also struggled with trying to become a photographer myself. This was because in those days, in the UK, there were still discrimination towards the disabled people.
My family, family friends, teachers, career advisors, and social workers, they all would say things like “You can’t be a photographer because you’re deaf. How are you going to communicate with people?”
But in the 21st century, discrimination is mostly just about out of the way, and a lot of people are becoming more open minded. I got to work with 6 different models so far (at time of writing this), and in all cases, despite myself being deaf with speech impaired, we have got on well.
As a matter of a fact, those models also remarked that they enjoyed working with me, some mentioned that my way of directing them to what kind of poses, is clearly understandable.
I figure that taking the opportunity to keep taking more photos of Lulu, in their home, would help me find more new ways of communications with the model.
About M&Co.
In 1834, Neil McGeoch started a pawnbroker business, in Paisley, Scotland, and over the many years, the family business expanded to 6 pawnbroker shops.
By 1953, the brothers Len and Iain McGeoch decided to convert the pawnbroker shops into clothing stores, and traded as Mackays Stores Limited. Over the years, they acquired a few other clothing retail business and expanded to approximately at least 140 by 1986, up to 270 by 2005.
In 2005, the company was rebranded as M&Co for a more modern image, and went on to operate over 300 stores, including few overseas and an online store.
The company first specialised in women’s clothes, later expanded to include men’s and children’s clothes.
Sadly due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the early 2020s, the company struggled with business as customers stayed at home, and struggled to keep going.
The company finally went into administration, and it was reported that the branding was bought by the McGeoch family. By spring of 2023, M&Co was closing down.

About the photograph.
Am y ffotograffau.
This is Olivia, a model I booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, in the countryside north of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd).
Olivia is wearing a winter outfit containing of a Size S black faux fur jacket with leopard patterns collar and cuffs, from Leana of London. The company is likely to have been a manufacturer or a trader, but there is not much details about Leana, and the company may have closed down before the Internet became popular.
She is also wearing a white cowl neck jumper, the design of the cowl gives the illustration of wearing a scarf, along with black trousers, and white ankle height trainers.
Here, she is seen posing as if she just arrived and gets out of the SUV. Those shots were for the purpose of a graphic design project, which I will upload to my account in the near future.
The vehicle is a 2005 Land Rover Freelander.
It is a diesel 2.0L Td4 SE model with manual gearbox, and a BMW M47 engine. The tyres are BF Goodrich T/A KO2 All Terrain tyres on steel wheels. The Freelander was an entry-level Land Rover from 1997 to 2006, before being replaced by the Freelander 2 until 2015.
As Olivia was booked for two-hours, we were at a different location only for 50 minutes before coming over to this location, and spent another 50 minutes here.

Notice: The photo is not geotagged, and I won’t mention where exactly. This is out of respect for the models’ privacy and safety, if the photo-shoot is at or around their homes.
About the photograph.
This is a known model named Kylie Britain, whom I booked for a two hours outdoor photo-shoot.
Kylie is posing in a faux fur coat, by the fashion label Astraka of London, and wearing blue jeans, with ankle-length boots.
The photo was taken on the grounds of a former garden centre, long since closed down and knocked down.
Kylie is a model and actress, have appeared in various publication, and have her own video channel on her website.
About the fur coat.
Astraka of London was a faux fur manufacturer. It first started as Alfred Morris Furs in 1898 in London, before moving to Buckinghamshire in the 1940s.
By about the 1960s, the company employed about 400 people, and produced faux fur coats, selling to top shops like Selfridges and exporting all over the world.
But by about 1988, it went into receivership and closed down.
There are very limited details about the company on the Internet, especially as the company closed down before home Internet and the World Wide Web became more popular.

Leicester Square, London, England, United Kingdom. Saturday 17th January 2015, around noon.
About the photograph.
With apologise to the lady in the photo, I have no idea what her name is. I did ask her for permissions to take photos and publish them, but I may have failed to ask her for her first name. If I did ask her, I may have failed to note down her name.
I was doing a photography project called Windy Street, as explained below, under the section heading of About the project.
She was the second person whom I approached, and asked if she have any objections to my taking photos of her for my project. She agreed and let me take the photos.
This was taken at approximately the north-east corner of the park at Leicester Square, in the background is the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square cinema.
I think she is a flyer / leaflet distributor, she was there to hand out leaflets about a show or an event, to members of the public. You can see what looks like leaflets or booklet in her hand. I believe she had that rose with her as part of an attraction, to draw attention to her.
At that time I took the photograph, it was a very cold weather, being in January. Here, you see she wears medium length fur coat fastened with buttons, a twisted scarf possibility made of wool, and ear muffins to keep her ears warm.
About the project.
The project called Windy Street, was to try to create some kind of an article about women’s winter fashion, focused on fur coats, with photos of real women as opposite to booked models.
The article was supposed to be a blog or a gallery, maybe try to get it published in a magazine or write a book about it.
The plan was to go to major cities like London, Birmingham, Cardiff, and anywhere like that. Go to main busy streets or plazas during the winter months. The aim was to be on the outlook for any women wearing a winter outfit including a fur coat, approach them, and explain that I’m a photographer doing a project.
I explained to them that I want to take photos of women whom are members of the public, not professional models. I explained that I wish to take photos of real life women wearing the outfits, to illustrate the reality of their fashion style.
Catwalk models may display an amazing looking outfit, but the design of the outfit often changes between the catwalk display to the actual production line. The project was to show the fur coats and the outfits as worn by members of the public, rather than as worn by catwalk models or professional models. To showcase the difference between design stage, adverting, and reality.
On that day of the photographs, I was in London. The first person I approached was a couple, a guy and a woman in a cream coloured fur coat. I told her about my project and asked her for permissions to take photos of her. She agreed, and I even asked the man who was with her, if he would not mind being in the photo too, he even agreed.
The Lady with the Rose, or the Rose Lady, was the second person I approached.
But at that time in 2015, I struggled with the project. Part of the reason was my self-confidence was down, but the main reason was because I was a busy full-time single parent and full-time carer. It was often difficult to get the ex-wife to agree to have both of the kids for the day, so I could go and do photo-shoots.
My project kind of stalled at first, then I kind of put it on the back burner while I do other projects, finally decided to shelf the project.

The aim was to be on the outlook for any women wearing a winter outfit including a fur coat, approach them, and explain that I’m a photographer doing a project.
I explained to them that I want to take photos of women whom are members of the public, not professional models. I explained that I wish to take photos of real life women wearing the outfits, to illustrate the reality of their fashion style.
Catwalk models may display an amazing looking outfit, but the design of the outfit often changes between the catwalk display to the actual production line. The project was to show the fur coats and the outfits as worn by members of the public, rather than as worn by catwalk models or professional models. To showcase the difference between design stage, adverting, and reality.
On that day of the photographs, I was in London. The first person I approached was a couple, a guy and a woman in a cream coloured fur coat. I told her about my project and asked her for permissions to take photos of her. She agreed, and I even asked the man who was with her, if he would not mind being in the photo too, he even agreed.
The Lady with the Rose, or the Rose Lady, was the second person I approached.
But at that time in 2015, I struggled with the project. Part of the reason was my self-confidence was down, but the main reason was because I was a busy full-time single parent and full-time carer. It was often difficult to get the ex-wife to agree to have both of the kids for the day, so I could go and do photo-shoots.
My project kind of stalled at first, then I kind of put it on the back burner while I do other projects, finally decided to shelf the project.

At the Hatton Court Hotel, Upton Hill, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Tuesday 5th December 2023.
About the photograph.
I booked Eirwen for a two hours photo-shoot in and around Gloucester, and the photo-shoot was split into two sections.
The first section lasting an hour, was an outdoor photo-shoot done outside the Hatton Court Hotel, just outside of Gloucester, with special thanks to the hotel staff for letting me use their location.
My idea was to take photos of Eirwen, dressed in a smart evening outfit and different fur coats, getting out of a car outside the hotel. The photos would be used as graphic design assets, illustrating a hotel advert.
This was a quick test shot when she changed to a different fur coat. The reason was I struggled with getting the camera’s settings correct, the black fur coat could have come out dull or something, so I asked Eirwen to simply stand there while I fire off a test shot to check I’ve got the white balance set correctly.
Of course, I forgotten about software. Having grow up with film, I’m used to making an effort to get the lighting right, before taking the shots, otherwise once the photos have been printed, it would look wrong. Sometimes some editing work by making adjustments during printing may help correct as much as possible.
But I forgotten that today, even when it is important to try to get your camera settings correctly set up, even if you took a shot and it came out wrong, you can always use software to correct it.
But nevertheless, here I am, taking a quick test shot to make sure the coat’s black colours come out right.
After the first section was done, I drove to a studio on the south-west side of Gloucester, for the second section, where I booked an hour at Studio Five Photography, for the indoor photo-shoot.

Car park at St Julian Inn, Newport, Wales, United Kingdom.
Maes parcio yn St Julian Inn, Casnewydd, Cymru.
Morning of Wednesday 8th February 2023.
Bore dydd Mercher 8 Chwefror 2023.
About the photograph.
Am y ffotograffau.
This is Olivia, a model I booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, at a car park outside of an inn, just to the north of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd).
Olivia is wearing a winter outfit containing of a Size L cream coloured faux fur jacket with hood from New Look.
She is also wearing a white cowl neck jumper, the design of the cowl gives the illustration of wearing a scarf.
She is posing behind a Land Rover Freelander, simply by leaning on the engine hood, and pose as if looking and thinking. In the background is the river, and there is a boat barely visual in the background.
Special thanks to the owner of the inn for giving me permissions to use the car park for on-location photo-shoot.
The vehicle is a 2005 Land Rover Freelander.
It is a diesel 2.0L Td4 SE model with manual gearbox, and a BMW M47 engine. The tyres are BF Goodrich T/A KO2 All Terrain tyres on steel wheels. The Freelander was an entry-level Land Rover from 1997 to 2006, before being replaced by the Freelander 2 until 2015.
As Olivia was booked for two-hours, we were at a different location only for 50 minutes before coming over to this location, and spent another 50 minutes here.
What is this all about?
This is the first in a series of a long-term project I started working on, which is called Project: Freelander Ladies. It is a variation of the so called Land Rover Girls type of photographs. Generally, the majority of the Land Rover Girls kind of photos tend to be of younger women posing next to mostly either the Series or the Defender production models, and less common are the Discovery or Range Rover models. There are barely enough photos of women posing next to a Freelander, so my aim is to create some, specially for the Freelander owners and fans to enjoy.
In addition to this being a “cars and girls” kind of photography which is the main role, there are other roles, including photographs needed for a graphic design project.

Somewhere in Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 14th March 2025.
Notice: The photo is not geotagged, and I won’t mention where exactly. This is out of respect for the models’ privacy and safety, if the photo-shoot is at or around their homes.
About the photograph.
This is Kylie Britain, a model I booked for a two hours outdoor photo-shoot.
She is seen posing in a casual winter style outfit demonstrating a white T-shirt, blue jeans tucked into below-knee length boots, and a large blue M&S faux fur coat. The blue fur coat is part of their M&S Collections range.
The photo was taken on the grounds of a former garden centre, long since closed down and knocked down.
Kylie is a model and actress, have appeared in various publication, and have her own video channel on her website.
About M&S.
Marks and Spencer, often commonly abbreviated as M&S, was formed in 1884 by Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer in Leeds, as a penny bazaar.
Over the next many years, they moved to different towns and cities, and had many market stalls around the North West of England. Spencer passed away in 1905, and Marks died in 1907.
Michael Marks’s son, Simon Marks became the chairman, acquired other penny bazaars, and the company grew into a retail empire.
They sold textiles and food, they also sold clothes under the St Michael brand, which was then dropped in 2000. M&S often sells quality food and clothes.

Am y ffotograffau.
This is Olivia, a model I booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, outside of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd).
Here, she is posing in a winter outfit containing a size 10, long, light brown faux fur coat from Astraka of London, along with her own turtleneck jumper, jeans with shiny strips down the sides, and white trainers.
Here, she is posing outside of the Land Rover Freelander, in one photo, she is leaning on the car, and in the other, she is leaning on the driver door.
The vehicle is a 2005 registered Land Rover Freelander.
It is a diesel 2.0L Td4 SE model with manual gearbox, and a BMW M47 engine. The tyres are BF Goodrich T/A KO2 All Terrain tyres on steel wheels. The Freelander was an entry-level Land Rover from 1997 to 2006, before being replaced by the Freelander 2 until 2015.
The location is the car park next to St Julian Inn, on the south bank of the River Usk.
With special thanks to the manager/owner of St Julian Inn for giving me permissions to use the car park.
As Olivia was booked for two-hours, we stayed at this location only for 50 minutes before moving to another location. Nothing wrong there, just that I needed a change of background. Those will be uploaded to my Photostream in near future.
About the subject.
Am y pwnc.
Astraka of London was a faux fur manufacturer. It first started as Alfred Morris Furs in 1898 in London, before moving to Buckinghamshire in the 1940s.
By about the 1960s, the company employed about 400 people, and produced faux fur coats, selling to top shops like Selfridges and exporting all over the world.
But by about 1988, it went into receivership and closed down.
There are very limited details about the company on the Internet, specially as the company closed down before home Internet and the World Wide Web became more popular.
