Postdoc Workshop #6: Anglesey Abbey

Today Jean-François Mercure and I organised the sixth Postdoc Photo Workshop. This time we went to Anglesey Abbey, and had two models with us. Anita Friis Sommer dressed in a medieval Tudor dress, and Wendy Min Ji Choi in a classical Korean dress.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-wendy-2 — Wendy posing by one of the statues. Here we are trying to mirror part of the statue’s pose.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-wendy-1 — A simple full length shot. The skies were cloudy, which makes the shadows soft, but a little bit of blue in the background would have looked nice.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-anita-1 — Anita in her Tudor dress. Here I asked her to walk towards the camera to give the photo a sense of motion.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-anita-2 — Anglesey Abbey is famous for its birches, which they wash to keep really white. I photographed Anita from slightly below to make her pose look more regal.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-wendy-3 — Same idea as the previous photo, shot from slightly below.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-anita-3 — I liked the red colour on Anita’s dress, but I wanted to see what it looked like in black and white. There is a bit of texture added on top of the photo to make it look older.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-wendy-4 — A bit of fun in the gardens.

hjorthmedh-anglesey-abbey-skirts — The ladies flashing their petticoats.

A big thank you to everyone that joined us, and a special thanks to our two models Anita and Wendy! We will see if we have time for one more workshop before I return to Stockholm.
