Photography shoot: Out of my comfort zone

So I attended an interesting photography event last weekend. It was organised by @brianbrogan1960 and featured a wide selection of models in various outfits and took place in an disclosed location with several run-down and derelict buildings.

The theme was 'Apocalypse' and featured costumes (cosplay?) ranging from 'grungy and grimy' through to outfits inspired by 'Mad Max'. There were 14 models involved so there was a wide variety to shoot. Several of the photographers have already started uploading some of their images from the day

Go check out some fantastic examples from the day from:

My own efforts pale in comparison to be honest. Regular readers will know I love the great outdoors and taking photos of the wildlife I can see, so an Urbex Shoot working with actual people is way, way out of my comfort zone. I spent most of the day on edge, unable to relax properly until we were driving home.

It is really frustrating to be honest. I love some of the images I take of people, and I really want to take pictures of people, I just seem to struggle to actually do it.

Enough of me wallowing in-self pity...

Considering I'm not a fan of Urbex stuff, the location was fairly interesting, with some pretty awesome graffiti on show.
