On our never ending search for different locations that can be used for photo shoots we came across a great building in North Weald.
In its day it was built as a redoubt, to protect the soldiers outside the line of defense and to store ammunition.
Built at the end of the 19th century, it has now been left to ruin and with the lack of soldiers in the barracks it provides some great backdrops for a photographic shoot!
This photo shoot, although it may look nice and sunny outside was actually done on a freezing December afternoon, the previous day had brought us a blizzard which you will see in the next image!
The model in these images commissioned Edenexposed to do this conceptual photo shoot for her birthday and was extremely good with dealing with the cold weather.
It was fine for me wrapped up in my gloves and scarf but she had to de robe for each shot and reveal the lovely strapless prom dress in zero temperatures!
This image we named 'Baring the Blizzard' which is very apt!
The lack of a roof on the building meant the whole 'inside' was carpeted with fresh snow, so of course we had to make her sit in it!
Utilising the grounds around the building we took an electrical cable reel from down near the soldiers barracks which involves quite a steep incline up to the building plus all the snow and fallen leaves, it proved quite a challenge. Well i say we - it was my partners job to haul it up the hill! haha
A job well done though and this is the finished image from all the hard work:
And were not arsonists - the flames were added using photo shop!
We will be going back through the hole in the fence soon as we have planned another shoot at this location, this time bringing the building back to its original purpose and doing a soldier/captive type conceptual photo shoot.
So stay tuned for those images!
