Creative Context…

‘The Girl & The Stag’ by Carl Beebee. Taken from Instagram.

Just a very brief note with a little news…

Very pleased to say that this week I have signed a contract to write and release a theory book. The book ‘Photography Philosophy & Creative Context’ will be available to buy next year. In all honesty I’m a little daunted by the task in hand – and the idea of writing 30,000 words is terrifying me… But dammit, we’ll give it a good go… I’ll keep posting updates on here and maybe a few snippets of the writing to get a little feedback off you good people.

Ok, on a completely separate note – as far as my Facebook goes I have now all but given up on using my ‘page’ as any kind of worthwhile tool. It seems other than sponsored posts things aren’t really seen from other pages. I’m concentrating on using Instagram more now – both for personal bits and work related things. So please give me a follow on there http://www.instagram.com/carlbeebee (@carlbeebee)

As ever – thanks very much for reading. It is very much appreciated.

See you on the road.

Carl.

Femme Fatale – Roseanne – NSFW

I had a shoot last week with Roseanne – we did some editorial shots as well as some general portraiture.

The editorial shots are part of the ‘Fatale’ series that I have been working on in recent weeks.

The series depicts, strong, powerful and sexy women in a “noir” like environment…

We spent a hour or so working on some regular portrait work – the one below is one of my favourites thus far…

Fatale

This is a shot taken a few weeks ago with model Nicki Adam – it was primarily taken for forthcoming exhibitions as well as my ‘Conceptual’ gallery on my website…

I’m currently working on several images and projects that feature strong, sexy women with noir like lighting.

Hopefully I’ll be able to show you more soon.

Updates…

The above photograph was taken last month and it’s from a shoot for ‘Carnival’ with model Hollie Chekov.

We shot it in a large manor house just outside Kidderminster and I’ll be uploading the photos to my site very soon.

Speaking of which my site has undergone a dramatic change (I thought it was about time) and hopefully now the galleries and information are easier to view on all devices including iPhones and iPads.

Please take a look and let me know what you think…

Legs

‘Legs’ is a series of images I completed a few weeks ago with the model Nicki Adam.

You can view the whole series by clicking here.

I’ve been interested in doing this project for a few years, ever since I shot ‘The Absent Murder Of The Mind’

I’ve said in previous posts that I like exploring the idea of anonymous portraits, where the face is hidden or not included. I spoke with Nicki about this, whom I’ve worked with for several years, and we decided to create this series. All of the photographs were shot in my house with very small lighting rigs.
