Shooting Models on location with Jade Stacy Maria
Last night’s monthly Studio Group could not go ahead as originally planned due to the latest ‘lockdown’ imposed by the UK Government so instead we all gathered for a zoom presentation by the professional model Jade Stacy Maria Brimfield.
Jade has become well known to several members of the Studio Group since she moved to Norfolk from her native Essex a few years ago and more recently through her blog ‘Journeys with Jade’ as she travels the world with her partner James Kerwin.
Jade is a Fashion model most of her time and she specialises in (surprise surprise) location shooting. Jade has shot extensively, across the world, with James and she spoke last night via zoom from Tbilisi in Georgia where she and James are currently residing before their next planned return to Norwich in the Spring of 2021.
Last night’s talk consisted of an Informative and easy to follow presentation about shooting models on location and offered useful tips and techniques about achieving the best possible results at different types of location.
Jade covered a range of subjects such as how to approach a model for a location shoot and using colour theory by implementing simple additions such as props, subjects and set designs. In addition, she covered the likely sources for being inspired and practical tips for finding potential locations
Jade’s presentation also featured lots of work with James – shot together in hidden and remote locations across the planet in the last few years, as well as much simpler stuff, such as tips on using coffee shops, bars, and parks to your advantage.
For those of you who are interested in James’ work you will be pleased to learn that he will be presenting his new fascinating talk ‘Sands of time’ next week on Tuesday 17th November when no doubt Jade will again feature in several of his photographs.
