Leanne James: Time Well Spent

Leanne James by David Rann

One good thing about being snowed-in (probably the only thing, in fact) is that I have a little time to get around to editing or re-editing some images that have been languishing in my hard drive. I’ve been meaning to find an opportunity to spend on these particular images for a few months now. I’d decided I didn’t want to “squeeze them in” between other jobs, No, these deserved my full attention.

Leanne James, perhaps the UK’s fastest-rising star on the “alternative” modelling scene, was the subject of one of our very first Model Days here at Fotofilia in the Autumn. Now, the only problem with organising model days (or any shoot come to that) is that I often don’t get the chance to shoot any images myself. However, on this occasion, I managed to spend about 20-30 minutes with Leanne in between other booked sessions. One outfit, one background, and one lighting set-up. Luckily, with models of Leanne’s calibre, not a moment, not a shot, is wasted. It might have taken a while but I’m rather happy with the pictures I’ve just edited. Some things simply aren’t worth rushing.
