Ahhhh, it was SO nice to be back inside a Theatre photographing dress rehearsals again.

Happy Halloween! A photoshoot with a spooky theme.

I try to get a Halloween photoshoot each year. This year was no exception. The very talented Molly and her boyfriend were the models and Molly’s mum did an amazing job with the makeup!

Very important note:

Many parts of the tracks where this was shot have collapsed, sunk, or completely fallen away. There were trees, bushes and branches encompassing many parts of the track, including behind the smoke. This track is so derelict it is IMPOSSIBLE for anything to be on it. Please do not ever attempt this!

If you need an event photographer please get in touch!

Happy Halloween!
