People get into modelling for many reasons, not just the financial rewards. Some like the excitement of the unknown, the glamour and the opportunity for travel. Others use it as a way of overcoming shyness or poor self image, or, on the other hand, as an outlet for an exhibitionist streak!

Perhaps you believe you have what it takes to be the next supermodel or maybe you simply enjoy being in front of the camera and hope to turn a passion into some extra income. Whatever your reason for modelling you need to start somewhere. This section of our blog contains articles that you may find of help and images sets from some of our model shoots that may help you decide on what suits you.

By Nils | Published May 22, 2011

Hola!

Sorry, I meant to get back to this WAY sooner but life has suddenly got very hectic. Spent the last few months trying to kick over a few ant hills and it finally seems to be paying off

Since my last blog I’ve been a busy boy and worked with some great and lovely people. .. People like the amazing models Dolly Diamond and Ebony Ivy and the talented designers Kim WestFashion and Kitsch Kaos among others. For more information on that check out Dolly’s latest antics here and the Kim’s style blog here. I’m also going to be trying to update this more regularly so watch this space.

Anyways… back to ‘My first Studio shoot’

Meet the apprentice .. My first studio shoot – Part I

By Nils | Published March 28, 2011

Hello you beautiful people, I’m Nils and as well as being Baron’s son I am the studio apprentice for Immortaleye Photography in Stoke Mandeville, Aylesbury.

Nils Bratby - Apprentice Photographer for Immortaleye Photography

I’ve been taking pictures for ages, ever since I was little really, just never thought of it as something I’d do professionally. To me it was always just a hobby and something to do on my various travels aboard. However when Dad decided to open the studio I agreed to help out … and the rest as they say is history.

Mermaid Discovered in Aylesbury

By Baron | Published March 18, 2011

It is assignments like this that make it really worthwhile being a photographer. I mean how many divers can genuinely claim to have both seen and photographed a Mermaid!

My chance came when a well known Burlesque performer I know, Khandie Khisses, needed to find somewhere to practice a Mermaid routine. With nothing in their health and safety manual to cover mermaids most pools did not want to know. Thankfully I do a little diving and remembered there was a local PADI dive centre in Aylesbury called ScubaDucks.

The owners could not have been more helpful and soon Khandie was busy practising in their training pool. This photo is from a recent session after Khandie Khisses had received her new Mermaid outfit and needed to try it out.

If you would like to know more about Khandie Khisses and Burlesque dancing then visit http://khandiekhisses.com/ If you are interested in diving then why not pay ScubaDucks a visit.
