On the bank of the River Usk, somewhere in Newport (Casnewydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Friday 29th January 2018.

 

NOTICE: I have a policy where I do not geotag my photos if the shots were taken at or very near the models’ homes, for their safety and privacy.

   

About this photograph.

 

This is Lulu, a Welsh model living in Newport, whom I got in contract with through a modelling website, and arranged for a two hours outdoor photo-shoot.

 

At that time, I was a single parent. I arranged for the ex-wife to pick up the kids from school, and have them for the weekend. So on that day, after I dropped the kids off at school, I grabbed my photographic kit, got in my car, and drove off to Newport.

 

I met her and her husband at their home in Newport. After a cup of tea, breaking the ice, and stuff like that, we went into Newport city centre for the first stage of the outdoor photo-shoot.

 

When that was done, we returned back to their street, and the second stage of the outdoor photo-shoot was done near their home.

 

Here, Lulu is posing in her yellow t-shirt and dark blue jeans tucked into her knee-length boots, she is also wearing a light colour belt and a pearl necklace.

 

She is also wearing a Size 22 brown coloured M&Co faux fur coat with hood pulled up over her head.

 

Lulu is posing by leaning on the rails, and looking as if she’s deep in thoughts, thinking about something.

   

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.

The Old Station, Tintern. Near the village of Tintern (Tyndym), in the Wye Valley, Monmouthshire, Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Tuesday 2nd of February 2016.

   

About the photograph and the photo-shoot.

 

This is Sally, a model living in Wales, whom I booked for a couple of hours outdoor photo-shoot. I got in touch with Sally through one of the online modelling website, I can’t remember which ones, but could have been PurplePort or another website. After the pre-shoot communications, we arranged to meet up at The Old Station, Tintern.

 

She arrived with her husband and their little girl, and they were the first to arrive, then enjoyed a little bit of a day out in the grounds while they waited for me to arrive on time. When I parked my car, got out, and was looking for her, and she spotted me, so she waved me over.

 

The photo-shoot was split into two sections, one hour each. The first section was mainly fashion like photo-shoot, right next to the old railway carriages, those are the photos from the first section.

 

Here, she is wearing a casual style winter outfit, which is of a tan coloured faux fur jacket bought from a charity shop, along with her own sweater, her own blue jeans, and her flat heeled boots.

 

I asked her for flat heeled footwear because most women are not likely to wear high heels in such places like this, especially with uneven ground, and that she’s supposed to be dressed in a more casual style. Also, I asked for her to tuck her jeans into her boots for this kind of fashion style.

 

Here, she is posing next to an old and refurbished railway carriage which is a static display on what is left of the railway tracks, outside the old railway station. For more details about the railway station, feel free to read the article under the heading of About the location below.

 

Most of the starting shots were of her standing on the ground, in front of the carriage, before moving onto the platform, where she pose right next to the carriage with her feet on the carriage’s buffer.

 

The photos of her standing in front of the carriage were taken with the lens at various lengths and my position also at various distance from her, hence different background sizes, and different looks.

 

After those shots, she changed to a different fur jacket, and posed next to a different carriage. You can find them in the album titled Sally.

   

About the location.

 

The Old Station or Tintern railway station, is a former railway station on the Wye Valley Railway line that ran approximately 15 miles between the towns of Monmouth to the north and Chepstow in the south.

 

The station opened in November 1878 and was one of the four stations along the line, and the railway company chose to build a large station as they were hoping to generate more income from tourist visiting the nearby Tintern Abbey.

 

The Wye Valley Railway line was a railway line along the lower Wye Valley and often crossed over between Wales and England due to the River Wye being used as the border between the two countries.

 

The railway line was in use between 1876 to 1964, and was operated by Great Western Railway (GWR) until taken over by British Rail (BR). Once BR took over the railway line, they reviewed its viability and stopped passenger services in 1959, while allowing goods transportation to continue until the line closed in 1964.

 

The rail station was bought by the local country council, refurbished it into a café and exhibition, then opened to the public. Monmouthshire County Council later bought a couple of old carriages, which were refurbished as gift shop, tourism information, and an exhibition. The two carriages are displayed on what’s left of the rail tracks.

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).

 

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.

 

She is standing on the driver side door frame. In one photo, she is holding the roof rail for support, and in the other photo, leaning on the front pillar.

 

Olivia is posing with a Starbucks takeaway cup, and the photographs were taken as part of a graphic design project, in additional as standalone photos for show on Flickr or Instagram.

 

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.

  

Starbucks is an American multinational chain of coffee houses that started in Seattle, United States, in March 1971, and was set up by three guys.

 

In the early 1980s, the sold the company to a man who turned Starbucks into the coffee houses as we know it today.

 

They have about 35,000 stores all over the world, with about 400,000 employees.

 

In additional to Starbucks being a coffee house, selling food and drinks, they also sell their own merchandising.

 

Many Starbucks fans often enjoy selfies with Starbucks cups and merchandising, then post online, like Instagram.

  

What is this all about?

Beth yw pwrpas hyn I gyd?

  

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 more of this, especially 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, as well as fashion style photographs.

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.

 

In the photo, Olivia is posing by leaning against the back of the Freelander, with her left arm resting on the spare wheel, and her left foot leaning on the bumper.

 

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.

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, which is where I found her from. I booked her for a two hours photo-shoot done at my home. The two hours photo-shoot was split into two halves, one hour was done outdoors and as a fashion portraiture photography.

 

In the photographs, LadyArtist is posing in a cream coloured [UK] size 16 faux fur coat by Dorothy Perkins. She is also posing in her own dark blouse, and blue jeans tucked into her black knee-length boots, and a black leather belt.

 

She is posing in the back garden, next to the fence and the back wall of my house, lighting was done using daylight.

 

After those shots, she changed into a different faux fur coat, and we moved over to the back end of the garden for different shots. You can see the other photos in my Albums, it can be found under the title of LadyArtist (Marie)

 

Or click here to jump to the album: www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/albums/72157719757722...

 

When the first hour, fashion themed outdoor photo-shoot was done, the next hour was done indoors.

 

As I am a deaf person with speech impaired, you would think there would be communications difficulties between myself as a photographer, and her as the model. But despite the difficulties, we did get on very well, and had done the photo-shoot without problems. LadyArtist later left a positive review on my PurplePort account.

 

Sadly she passed away about two years after this photo-shoot, and I was not aware of this until another 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.

 

Notice: If the photo-shoot was done around the models’ homes, or done at my home, then for safety and privacy, the geotag is removed, and the photos will not be put on the map.

   

About Dorothy Perkins.

 

In 1909, it was founded under the original name of H. P. Newman & Co, in Leeds, United Kingdom, as a drapery shop. It was later said to be a straw hat manufacturer, as the details is not very well recorded.

 

By 1916, they changed the trading name to Dorothy Perkins, and they opened as a specialist ladies’ outfitters shop in 1919. Over the years, they adverted themselves as specialist in millinery, lingerie, corsets, and hosiery. They also adverted selling ladies’ hats.

 

The company opened a chain of shops centred in London, and by 1939, they had about 75 shops, and the company grew thanks to Alan Farmer who joined in 1925, and took over in 1940.

 

The company was floated on the stock exchange market in 1958, and by that time, they had 130 shops, as well as expanding the range of ladies’ wear.

 

Alan Farmer continued to expand the company in the 1960s, by the end of the decade, they grew to 275 outlets, including a 70% shares in the boutique company called Bibi.

 

During the 1970s, the company was bought by the Burton Group plc, later became known as the Arcadia Group Ltd, which was owned by Tina Green, the wife of Philip Green.

 

Arcadia Group went into administration around November 2020, and later the brand, but not the shops, was bought by Boohoo, and is now an online shopping website.

Near the Newport City Footbridge over the River Usk, in the city of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd), Gwent, Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Friday 29th January 2016.

 

Photos were taken opposite the Friars Walk Shopping Centre, and the Kingfisher Shopping Centre, next to the A4042 known as Usk Way. It is also near the University of South Wales, Newport City Campus, which can be seen in the background in a few of the photos.

  

About this photograph.

 

As well as being a photographer, I am also a graphic designer, but in both cases I’m currently out of work. At that time the above photograph was taken, I was a busy full-time single parent, so my careers were put on hold.

 

However, in order to ensure the I do not lose my skills, and also to keep gaining more experience, I often try to do photography or graphic design projects, while the kids were at school. This was one of the few graphic design projects I was doing.

 

As a graphic designer, I prefer to make an effort to take my own photos, and include them in my design works, rather than use stock images. The above photo of the model is for my own design.

 

The graphic design project I was doing, was to be a DVD case cover and a boxset design, for a non-existence fictional police and detective television show. This was to showcase my creative skills in designing case covers for DVDs.

 

The theme of the non-existence DVD was to be a police drama, the idea was a civilian woman, herself a single mother of two teenager kids, helping the police as a consultant. The idea of the story was for her to balance her life between being a single mother, struggle with dating, her work, and her role as a consultant.

 

So, I needed a woman in her later 40s or early 50s. That’s all I wanted, since I only thought of her character as being in that approximate age range. I never thought of what colour her hair should be, what she looks like, etc. That allowed me some flexibility with finding any models available for a photo-shoot.

 

Plus I wanted it to be set in a city, as the theme of the story was set in a city.

 

I searched on some of the model booking websites, like PurplePort, and found Lulu, whom was living in Newport, Wales, on ModelFolio. We exchanced email, mostly pre-shoot communications, and finally I booked her for a two-hours photo-shoot in Newport.

 

I managed to arrange for my ex-wife to pick up the kids from school on Friday, and look after them for the weekend, so that as soon as I drop of the kids, I drove to Newport, to her home. We made preparations for the outdoor photo-shoot, and her husband offered to drive us into city centre, to the location you see in the photograph.

 

Here, Lulu is wearing a typical women’s winter outfit. She is seen posing in a size XL animal print faux fur coat from Roman Originals.

 

She is also wearing her own dark blue jeans, tucked into her own brown flat-heeled knee-length boots, with full length zippers on the sides of the boots. She is also wearing a casual top under the fur coat, not seen in the photos. The weather was gloomy with light winds, hence her hair is sometimes seen flying in the wind.

 

She was aware from pre-shoot communications, of what the photo-shoot is all about, and I directed her to the kind of poses I wanted. I asked her to pose like a woman lost in deep thoughts, over her personal life and the investigation, which is what I hoped her pose in the photo would imply.

 

Despite myself being a deaf person with speech impaired, she had remarked that we had worked together well, and she also left a positive review on my account on ModelFolio, stating that I was able to give directions well.

   

About the Roman Originals fur coat.

 

Roman Originals was originally established in 1957 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom.

 

It started as a family owned manufacturing business, designing and making ladieswear, for the high street shops in Britain. It grew to include evening wear, wedding outfits, smart casual day wear, work wear, and holiday wear, for the women.

 

The meaning of the company name was from an inspiration of Italian fabrics they used in their designs, and over the years, continue to change the styles as the fashion style changed over time, mostly for the younger customers, and try to design their fashion to fit customers of all ages.

 

As the company grew, by around 1990’s, they decided to open their High Street stores, and ended up with about 150 stores nationwide. They later renamed to simply Roman, but still trading as Roman Originals PLC.

   

About “Kimberley” Project.

 

Kimberley is the eponymous character of a fictional crime/police story I came up with, for a creative non-existence television show DVD cover design, as part of my ongoing graphic design training.

 

The main reason is about my skills in doing graphic design, and showcase my skills of designing a DVD case cover, and a DVD boxset design. When I was at college doing my graphic design training, we did not have computers because at that time, it was in the late 1980s, and the college had limited budget for new technology. I did most of my graphic design training in the traditional old fashion way, like using craft knife, masking tape, and glue a photo to a packaging design.

 

So, nowadays, I have been doing self-training in using computers and software, to do graphic design work, in order to gain experience. First, I started with Corel brand (i.e.: CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT.), then I switched to Adobe brand when I upgraded my computer to a new one.

 

You can see screen capture of the Adobe InDesign layout work I did, in one of my Albums, titled Graphic Design. or by clicking on the links here…

In the Woods somewhere in Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, on Tuesday 31st January 2018.

  

About this photograph.

 

This is Janey, a British model living in Yorkshire, England, whom I booked for a two-hours photo-shoot. The first half as outdoors, and the second half was indoors.

 

Here, she is modelling in a casual winter outfit. She is wearing an animal print faux fur coat from Roman Originals, in size XL, which is roughly UK dress size 20. Along with the fur coat, she is wearing her own dark colour top with white dots, her own blue jeans tucked into a pair of under-knee length, flat heeled boots. Janey is also wearing a light coloured scarf with pictures of birds all over the scarf. She is also modelling with her own tan coloured suede handbag.

 

She is posing and showing off the casual winter style, in some woods near her home, during a typical cold and damp English January weather. There wasn’t any snow around at that time, but there was some sunlight through the trees. The ground is not that bad, not very muddy, still good firm enough.

  

About the overall subject.

 

Roman Originals was established in Birmingham, in 1957. It started as a family owned business manufacturing ladieswear for many shops. They manufacture a wide range of outfits, including daywear, eveningwear, workwear, and outerwear. They design and manufacture various women’s outfits for all ages and of various sizes, from 10 to 22.

 

In 1998, the company opened their first retail shop so they would sell their own clothes, and over the years, they expanded to about 150 shops in the United Kingdom, as well as still trading with department stores.

 

Some years later, they renamed their company to simply known as Roman, but still trading as Roman Originals PLC.

  

Notes.

 

My camera’s internal clock was set to the wrong year and I never noticed it for maybe a couple of years. When I started to notice the year is wrong, I got around to checking and setting the correct date in my camera. The year I took those photos were in 2018, not in 2017.
