It&#8217;s a good spot for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/torbayfishing.com\/guide-meadfoot-beach.htm\" target=\"_blank\">sea fishing<\/a> but it is also a location that has great photography backdrops for photoshoots.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My model for the day, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paige_amelia_model\/\" target=\"_blank\">Paige<\/a>,  is someone I&#8217;ve worked with before. She knows my style of photography and I know how good she is at posing. Paige knows that I use lighting, so it&#8217;s always nice when the person understands the set-up process and can work with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Photoshoot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the coast path between Meadfoot beach and Daddyhole plain is a beauty-spot with amazing views and the most amazing bench in Torbay. I&#8217;ve been wanting to take some model photos there for a long time so I finally got my chance &#x1f973;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just down from there are the relatively new <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tor-bay-harbour.co.uk\/leisure\/beaches-and-coastline\/annual-cabin-chalet-or-site-hire\/meadfoot-beach-hut-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\">beach huts<\/a>. The best time to have these as a backdrop is out of season. Even we had to go towards the end of the huts as, even in March, there were a fair few being used. I really love the colours of the beach huts against the dress Paige was wearing&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"grid-gallery-22-14152\" data-gg-id=\"22\" data-title=\"Paige Torquay\" data-grid-type=\"2\" data-offset=\"5.3\" data-area-position=\"center\" data-icons=\"\" data-preloader=\"true\" data-width=\"auto\" data-height=\"215\" data-padding=\"0\" data-quicksand=\"disabled\" data-quicksand-duration=\"none\" data-popup-theme=\"theme_6\" data-popup-type=\"pretty-photo\" data-popup-image-text=\"data-description\" data-popup-widthsize=\"auto\" data-popup-heightsize=\"auto\" data-popup-i18n-words=\"{&quot;close&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;next&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;previous&quot;:&quot;previous&quot;,&quot;start_slideshow&quot;:&quot;start slideshow&quot;,&quot;stop_slideshow&quot;:&quot;stop slideshow&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;of&quot;:&quot;of&quot;,&quot;prev&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;cExpand&quot;:&quot;Expand&quot;,&quot;cPrevious&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;cNext&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;cExpandStr&quot;:&quot;Expand the image&quot;,&quot;cRotate&quot;:&quot;Rotate&quot;,&quot;cDetails&quot;:&quot;Details&quot;}\" data-popup-slideshow=\"false\" data-popup-slideshow-speed=\"2500\" data-popup-hoverstop=\"true\" data-popup-slideshow-auto=\"false\" data-popup-background=\"\" data-popup-transparency=\"30\" data-popup-disable-history=\"\" data-popup-disable-changed-url=\"\" data-popup-border-type=\"solid\" data-popup-border-color=\"\" data-popup-border-width=\"\" data-popup-border-enable=\"\" data-fullscreen=\"false\" data-hide-tooltip=\"false\" data-caption-font-family=\"Default\" data-caption-text-size=\"140\" data-is-mobile=\"0\" data-caption-mobile=\"false\" data-hide-long-tltp-title=\"0\" data-caption-disabled-on-mobile=\"false\" data-popup-placement-type=\"0\" data-social-sharing=\"{&quot;enabled&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;gallerySharing&quot;:{&quot;enabled&quot;:null,&quot;position&quot;:null},&quot;imageSharing&quot;:{&quot;enabled&quot;:null,&quot;wrapperClass&quot;:&quot;
