Meet Kendra, she is one of my favourite beans in the entire world. Be nice, be kind.
Kendra and I are doing placement together again this year however, it is in Harrogate which neither of us know very well so we decided to do a test drive see how to get there and how long it takes. We were taken right from the city to immediate countryside, it was a shock we really didn't expect the long windy country roads we were immediately driving on.
For my placement I am going to be doing photography so I also wanted to do a test run for that, I wanted to explore near the place we are based at for placement to see if there was any immediate locations. I was happily surprised.
We came across an allotment only a few minutes away from the car where we decided to set up camp. Whilst taking pictures we were approached by 3 different men who all happened to own lots and were all photographers at different levels. We met someone who had just started and used a bridge camera and we also met an older man who had the longest lens I have ever seen (it was the length of his passenger car seat) who had been doing some nature shots.
It was nice and a little bit weird to meet these people, although they were all lovely and let us stay even though we weren't meant to be in there in case we stole peoples veg. It was weird to meet so many photographers in the space of 15 minutes as that has never happened to me when I've been on a shoot but I have to say it was really nice.
As we were driving home I was eating my popcorn and looking out the window and I saw the most beautiful little path with daffodils along the long pathway and I turned to Kendra and said "that would be a great location" and as we carried on driving I couldn't shake how badly I wanted to go down there so I forced Kendra to stop and apart from having to run away from the marsh and ruining our new shoes I am so glad we stopped the photos are beautiful.
Here are my favourite shots from the little shoot we did, for Kendra's first time being a model I think she did a pretty good job!
