Mme Rouzeau est revenue
Back in October, Cat and I were invited back to our second home in Escosse, France to look after the cats and chickens of our friends, Alex and Catherine.
Whilst they were on a press junket to Costa Rica, we braved the fabulous autumnal Southern France. t-shirts and shorts in late October is always a blessing.
Cat was, and still is, busy with book 6, so I made plans on this trip to expand on the shoots I'd done earlier in the year when I hooked up with Catalina and Laurie
Mark Skeet
But I maybe overdid it a little, fitting 9 shoots in across the week and pinging back and forth between Toulouse and Montpellier.
On one of my Toulouse days, I worked with Marie Rouzeau, a mature model making a return to the industry and looking for updated images. To try and keep costs manageable for myself, I only hired a studio sparingly, this time. So the day I shot with Marie was an on-location, natural light day.
What was cool about this was having to think on my feet, finding light to work in. It was mid-20s and very bright sunshine, so needed to seek out workable conditions.
And we managed it with a few looks shot in the short time we had together.
