I think photographers are clever and intelligent people who tend to think visually. What you want and need in a video is straight forward, down to earth - this is how you do it and here's how it is done. It is watching the process that brings the fine details home.

This is an enthusiastic, warts and all, guide through a series of real, genuine shoots.

I had strict rules for each shoot, it should take no more than an hour, there were no re-takes. If I didn't get it right I still had to show it.

That's what you have here, the results from 9 shoots covering all sorts of territory, lighting and style.

The lighting is mostly simple. Although I have used studio strobes, there is really nothing here you cannot recreate with off-camera speedlights.

Similarly with the sets, the sets are simple, and simple to build. Often all you need is paper backdrop and a couple of drapes.

I just want you to treat these shots as inspiration - to take these ideas and run with them. Not to get bogged down in technical stuff - instead get on with the important part-shooting!

So have fun and I always look forward to seeing results.

We want to move beyond genre and cliché and look towards expressing modern girls and boys in a modern, twenty first century way.

It should not be all tits and bums, though they will play a part, but it should be about new ways of looking, posing and locating subjects.

Creative Glamour models can do new things, they've moved beyond the pin-up, beyond the lads-mag. (Although re-creating a pin-up does have a certain post-modern sense to it).

One of the best forums for such a view is the world of advertising, where sex appeal and aspirational settings are common place, but represented in new and often astounding ways.

So the photographer needs to think about juxtapositions, contrasts, new modes of sexuality, new social mores about what is acceptable in main-stream glamour.
