A photoshoot with a difference, have fun, be creative and let your personality shine!
For 12 months I've been wanting to do a shoot like this, fun, creative and exciting. So when I took my sketch of the box to a local joiner, he did raise an eye. But he created the most perfect box for me with a 2 foot depth, just in case i need to wheel it out of the studio... It was built in sections and put together in the studio.
The concept is to sit inside of the box, and pull as many different poses as you can. Each one of us is an individual, so no two sessions are going to be the same. I want you to come and have fun and just laugh, and leave the room buzzing. Show me your personality by wearing clothes that suit you, and props to demonstrate what you love and let you clients see your personality - opening up and being authentic is one of the best ways to build trust with your customer.
I have been very excited to work with the team of DJs from Koast Radio station, a volunteer community radio station serving Ashington and the surrounding area. I have photographed 23 of the DJs and I've included some of their photos here.
And a few of their comments:
"Oh these are yet again fabulous  honestly you’re really capturing show/presenter identities in a way I think even the presenters would struggle to articulate their show style! Just brilliant"
"Absolutely loved it, was great fun thank you for you and all your awesomeness"
"Amazing"
"Buzzing"
What to expect?
It's hard to visualise what the box is like and a lot of people ask if they can stand up in the box. Well, it's 4 foot (122cm) tall, so most adults can not stand up. But that is the fun of it, you are meant to squash up with loved ones and not think too much about it. Did you know if you are laughing you can't think of anything else? Relax, and have fun!
I would say you need about 15 minutes per box, whether that's for one person or 2-3 people [we have had 3 adults in the box no problem, always happy to try for more!
The studio is in The Lofts of Space@, 226 Park View, Whitley Bay. There is a staircase up to the top floor, so unfortunately no wheelchair access. We have bathroom and kitchen facilities if you need it, and are dog friendly. I would say all pets actually so long as they can be under control.
The boxes
There are three boxes:
The Big Box - 4ft x 4ft x 2ft (122cm x 122cm x 61cm)
The Medium Box - 2.5ft x 2.5ft x 1.3ft (76.5cm x 76.5cm x 39cm)
The Mini Box - 1.1ft cube (35cm x 25cm x 35cm)
The Big Box is designed for adults, the medium ones for children, and the mini box for making more interesting compilations. I then build the boxes into either a final square or rectangular picture. It really is that simple!
Here are a few examples of finished images: 1 Box, 4 Box, 6 Box, 9 Box and 16 Box.
Hope you like my new Box Shots, let me know what you think!
