In my back garden, somewhere in Worcestershire, United Kingdom, on Tuesday 15th November 2016.

   

About the photograph.

 

This is Marie, known as LadyArtist on the model booking websites like PurplePort, where I found her from. I booked her for a two hours photo-shoot at my home.

 

She is posing in a cream coloured [UK] size 16 Dorothy Perkins faux fur coat. She is also posing in her own dark blouse and dark blue jeans tucked into her black knee-length boots. Here, she is posing next to the back wall of my house.

 

The first hour was an outdoors fashion themed photo-shoot, and during this time, she worn different fur coat outfits and styles, posed in different spots with different backgrounds. This phase of the photo-shoot was mainly fashion based, and also serve as assets for my graphic design projects.

 

The second hour was indoors, for glamour and kinky themed shoots.

 

You can see the other shoots in my Album titled LadyArtist.

 

As I am a deaf person with speech impaired, you would figure there would be communications difficulties between myself the photographer and her as the model. But despite the difficulties, we did get on well. She had left a positive review on my account on PurplePort.

 

Sadly she passed away about two years after this photo-shoot, and I was not aware of this, until about two years after her passing away, when I saw a memorial message on her profile on the model booking website.

 

She was a really great model, I had a great time working with her.

   

About the subject.

 

In 1909 Dorothy Perkins was founded in Leeds, in the United Kingdom, under the name of H. P. Newman & Co.

 

In 1916, they started using the Dorothy Perkins trading name, and by 1919, they opened their first Dorothy Perkins specialist shop for ladieswear, and over the years, they expanded to about 75 shops by 1939.

 

In the late 1970s, they expanded to about 275 shops, and a 70% shares in the boutique company Bibi. However, by 1979, Dorothy Perkins was sold to The Burton Group later known as the Arcadia Group.

 

But the Arcadia Group, owned by the wife of Philip Green, entered into administration in the early 2020s, with most of the brand names either closed down or sold off.

 

The online company Boohoo bought the Dorothy Perkins brand name, and it is now trading as an online store only.

In my back garden, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Taken in the morning of Friday 15th November 2016.

 

Note: My camera was incorrectly set to the wrong year, the EXIF recorded the year as 2015, but it is really 2016.

  

About this photograph.

 

This is Marie, whom was known as LadyArtist on the model booking websites.

 

Marie was booked for a two hours photo-shoot project at my home. The first hour was to be standard modelling as part of a graphic design project, and the second hour was to be glamour kind of modelling.

 

The first hour was split into two parts. The first part was to be a general winter style fashion wear, modelling in fur coats, wearing a scarf, with jeans tucked into knee-length boots. Those can be found in my Photostream and Albums. Most of the shoots were to be used in various graphic design projects, such as magazines, catalogues, adverts, etc.

 

Now about the second part…

 

I explained to her that for this task, I needed a fictional female singer/songwriter posing for a fictional CD album art cover as part of my graphic design project. The character she pretends to be, would be a singer/songwriter, is a guitarist, and plays rock / alternative rock / soul or thereabouts. Say for example, the likes of Sharleen Spiteri, Sheryl Crow, etc.

 

It is not just only for a CD album art cover, but also for anything else related to the album, like tour poster, advert, magazine interview, etc, in additional to the mock-up CD case.

 

I asked her to pose in this black fur jacket, while keeping the rest of her outfit as she worn, carry my acoustic guitar, and stand beside the back wall of the outbuilding. The reason for this location, the need for this kind of background, is because I may want to create the album’s title on it in the form of a writing on the wall.

 

I may be deaf with speech impaired, so communications can sometimes be difficult, but as a very good and experienced model herself, she was able to understand my project, my plan, and my instructions, and carried out her task very well. I got the kind of shots I planned for and hoped for.

 

After that, bearing in mind that I was a busy full-time single parent, I did manage to get some graphic design artwork done while the kids were at school. But that task was done using CorelDRAW software on my old 32-bit Windows XP computer, and I later upgraded to a new computer with 64-bit Windows 7 Professional Edition, so sadly the old CorelDRAW software was incompatible with the new computer. As a result of this, I took the opportunity to switch to Adobe software (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.,) but I have not yet had a chance to try to convert the old Corel files into the new Adobe format. I also consider on redoing the project, by improving it.

 

So, this is the story of the photo-shoot.

  

About LadyArtist.

 

Marie was a model (either professional or amateur, I forgotten which), and adverted on a few of the model booking websites like PurplePort and similar, under her handle of LadyArtist. But at least two years after this photo-shoot I did, she had passed away of cancer or something. I only found out two years after her death (four years after the photo-shoot), when I saw her online account was turned into some kind of a memorial by her husband. I believe by now, most of her accounts have been deactivated.

  

About my project.

 

In 1987-89, I studied traditional graphic design at college, while working for a professional photographer as a darkroom technician and photographer’s assistant. After leaving college, it was difficult to get a job because of discrimination, due to my being a deaf person. Because the college did not have much computers, the graphic design I did was the old fashion way, pencils, pens, masking tapes, prints, glue, etc., so while unemployment and seeking a job, I did self-study in digital graphic design.

 

For me, photography is not a hobby. I do enjoy doing photography, but not as a hobby, I would prefer it should be as a career. I considered photography as my first choice, while graphic design as my secondary choice. When I became single parent, I put it all on hold to look after the kids.

 

At first, when the kids were old enough, I attempted to do some graphic design for myself, mostly to keep my skills going, and to keep a portfolio full of fresh ideas to show to employers during interviews. Or if needed, I would consider going freelance for myself.

 

Most of my graphic design projects are generally more of publicity and media, like posters, book covers, DVD covers, etc., Often I would design CD album art covers, and this photo-shoot is part of the project. Usually I prefer to try to use my own photographs rather than rely on stock images.

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).

 

In the photographs, she is seen posing on the driver side of the Land Rover. Posing as if arrived, stopped, and opened the door. Olivia is wearing a winter outfit containing of a light brown long faux fur coat, a turtleneck jumper, trousers with shiny strips down the length, and white trainers.

 

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.

  

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, which will be shown in near future.

A quiet moment in the heart of Frankfurt — soft winter light, clean architecture, and Lucia bringing pure elegance to the frame.

What I love most about this shot is the balance between strength and softness: the confident posture, the calm expression, the subtle movement of the coat.

 

Taken during a spontaneous cold-weather session that turned into something truly special.
