Lewis-Duncan Weedon Autumn Winter Fashion Show

I was privileged to be invited to attend and photograph the fall/winter 2011 victorian chic collection by the super talented Lewis Duncan-Weedon www.ldwatelier.co.uk [about to launch]. The show included Chiffon ruffle blouses and  dresses with signature beading detail suitable for  the red carpet. The amazing headwear by Ilda Di Vico www.ildadivico.com was also simply stunning. The show took place the five star Montcalm hotel  with  celebrity  guests including the Cheeky girls who were celebrity models. Only one photo has been posted for now as I am submitting the rest to OK! magazine and don’t want to spoil the surprise. Kimberley Jackson is modelling here.

“Compliments to photographer Graham Reading – a well known celebrity photographer in the UK & the first photographer in a looooong time that managed to convince me to do a shoot!!! Im glad he did.He is a true delight to work with.(Un-retouched, we like the purity of the truth)
From our shoot 12.01.2011

TESTIMONIAL

As the owner of Vibe International Models I’ve been asked several times during the past few years, to do a shoot. Because its not about me, but my models, I have naturally declined each time. I met Graham at an event, when he was doing one of his usual celebrity shoots for OK! Magazine. I was impressed by his down to earth approach and kind nature. This combined with his great style of photography, I was convinced.

For me, as a woman, it is important that a photographer makes you feel at ease. Photography is art at the highest level. It’s not just about shooting objects, but capturing moments, moods, environment and to be more profound, souls.

Graham managed to create an environment and mood that captured the image we had in mind to perfection. For that I am grateful and it was a sincere pleasure working with him.

Graham will listen to you respectfuly and work with you to achieve your visions as well as adding his own personal touch and ideas to enhance them. I can therefore highly recommend him to any model or person or client.

Less is Moore

Who could resist photographing ballet in the snow – somehow I fitted this in among Christmas Eve shopping and deliveries of photos to customers. Laura Moore was awesome, and made the swimsuit!
The Bucks Advertiser used the photos after the snow had gone on page three and online http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/local-buckinghamshire-advertiser-news/2011/01/06/iver-model-braves-snow-to-show-off-swimwear-82398-27941680/

April does Ballet on Freckles in the snow

My previous post on April, Miss Reading Town - a top 25 finalist in the Miss Great Britain beauty pageant 2010, tells the story. This photo was used in the January 2nd 2011 Mail on Sunday review section, and also in Hemel Today. The Hemel Hempstead Gazette ran the story too.  Other news and images on www.grahamreading.com

April rides on Freckles in the snow

I first met April while photographing an event for OK!  magazine and her photograph got published. She currently holds the title of Miss Reading Town, and was voted one of the top twenty five candidates in the beauty pageant out of 60 finalists. We then embarked upon a studio shoot and also went on location in the forest near to Pinewood studio, not far from my photography studio. Elsewhere on the blog [search Miss Great Britain]  there is a photograph of all the Miss Great Britain finalists at the sponsor party the night before the Miss Great Britain final. I had learnt that April could ballet dance and balance on a horse and so when it snowed it seemed sensible to ‘borrow’ her for a dramatic snow picture. I must admit, fully clothed I got rather chilly, but we managed the shoot in ten minutes. Here is one photo from the amazing set of images – one consolation, the horse was warm!  See the more recent blog post with more images. Also see my www.grahamreading.com website.

Santa as I have never seen him before!

On the 6th December I photographed two celebrity parties for OK! magazine. On my way back to the car very late at night this Regent Street shop window Santa caught my attention. Not the sort of Santa I would want getting stuck  coming down my chimney! For my website see www.grahamreading.com
