Sarah Kate Coward, June 2018

Phew- hot doesn’t even quite cover it! This shoot was arranged on one of the hottest days of our Indian Summer we experienced this year- but hey, no pain no gain! As a photographer, you have to be ready for the job, come rain or shine, sweltering sun or snow!

We arranged this shoot for our delegate who was on a one-to-one shoot with Emily, who had also been on our recent three-day course, to Sarah Kate’s gorgeous property in the Hampshire countryside.

We were spoilt for choice for dreamy locations- including stunning textured old barns, winding tracks and old brick walls. Our delegate really got to grips with experimenting with posing a client in these different locations, with a little bit of expert guidance from Emily.

Perhaps this could be something you could benefit from? Check out our 1-2-1 courses here.
