Love this - looks like Fav Studios - one of my favourite studios these days.

Giulia Modello, from a shoot this week. 1st since my knee operation - it held up well.
Giulia is an Italian model from Venice touring the UK at the moment.

Yes excellent shot - a bit seedy perhaps? 😜

Cool shot, especially as shot on the 1st digital camera in 1917. Bluesky does need an edit feature!

It's half of the Photography Museum in Berlin. The ground floor is dedicated to him and his work upstairs is mainly images from front pages of magazines like Vogue from the early days through to the 70's. Well worth a visit if you are every in Berlin.

Yes indeed, and a lovely person as well.

Smashing shot - reminds me of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen except that it is not surrounded by tourists clambering all over her!

Gemma relaxing by the Thames on a small private island. The dog walkers on the other bank nearly lost control of their pooches. Also known as Miss Diamond Sparkles.

Yes, a lovely smile brings a portrait to life. I was once told off by a model for taking a shot of her smiling!

Very drole! It's the only plant that I know gives me hay-fever - actually a sore throat. Be nice to see the uncropped version.

Is this what is meant by spooning?

Yes, have enjoyed using film in my Bronica, but have decided to stick to digital as I miss the immediacy not to mention the cost. There are some pretty good profiles for LightRoom that recreate the classic film stocks.
