As someone who has always liked your photos, Gary, I'm not sure about the description 'arty'. Your pictures are always well composed. And as for us lot; pretty girls in pvc, what more could we want?
By the way, not meaning to be picky, but what happened to your decision not to name the girls any more? Sammi Jo, Jody Wright, Irina; these have all be named. Surely, a model should be named, so that she gets credit for her work. It doesn't have to be her real name, does it?

Hi Domino
It depends on the model, some are quite high profile so there is no harm in naming who they are but some other models like to remain anonymous because it might not be their main job. I got a bit a pissed off a few years ago when I had mentioned a models name and a person from the fetish community asked if she would F**k him! When this came back to me I was highly embarrassed as you can imagine. I think that models should be credited for their work especially if they are good models but there are also a lot of wannabes out there who waste photographers time and money and again it would be daft to name them and then another photographer get's caught out.
This shoot is a preamble to launching a new rainwear brand this year. The brand will be mainstream and high end. I am still developing the raincoats and it looks like the "market" is leaning towards PU as a material. So far I have a high end fashion house interested but there is still a lot of work to do. I really would like to see our raincoats on the high street but it isn't easy with so much cheap competition. I will keep you posted as things develop, in the meantime I need to keep practicing with "fashion" and editorial style shooting and this was my first attempt!

Ah the delights of model photography - I had a similar problem when someone decided to 'track down' a model and contact her, luckily she was an experienced model and looked at it as part and parcel of the job but in an 'industry' where reputation is vital it's not good
And oh the wannabes - two photoshoots completed, both on a Friday night in the toilets of the local night club shot on the very latest mobile phone asking £100 ph
Apart from the few great models it was a delight to work with I can't say I miss the hassle of shoots
