Matt and I were really lucky to be able to work together last month (it doesn't happen very often) on a shoot for Mercedes in Weybridge, Surrey.
We were commissioned to photograph one of their drivers, Elliott Cole, at the race track at Mercedes Benz World.
What an amazing place, full of memorabilia, the coffee wasn't bad either!
We were lucky with the weather, it was the only decent day in May, really atmospheric clouds which made for some dramatic skies behind the subject. Elliott took us for a spin round the track, luckily that was at the end of the shoot as I have to be honest I did feel rather sick after!
The great thing about working with someone else is that you can use each other as portable lighting stands! In this case it was Matt who was holding the beauty dish directed at the subject camera left and a light in the background to give more detail to the car, as you can see from my free hand diagram....I know, I can't draw...!!!

April overview...
by Vicky Matthers
Here's a little taster of what we've been up to the last couple of months:
Some really lovely jobs that our clients have given us, from photographing the Leeds Rhinos to a dance performance at Queen Margarets School in York.
We can't wait to see what May and June bring, keep an eye on the blog for more updates :)

Varsity
by Vicky Matthers
Forget Oxford and Cambridge, there is only one rivalry that matters up here in Yorkshire and thats betweeen Leeds University and Leeds Beckett University...!!!
I got a call from the Leeds Beckett University sports department wanting some strong, dynamic pictures to represent the up coming varsity clash between the two Universities for all their various different sports. We decided to concentrate on Rugby League and Cricket, two very different sports.
Luckily there were no shortage of volunteers from both sides to pose, as you can see from the results below I think they did a great job! The venue was supplied by Leeds Rhinos Rugby League club, it's good to have friends in high places :)
We got just to the edge of the cricket field to finish off with a shot outside as the weather was improving by the minute:
