Inspired by a client shoot in 1997 Mark Cleghorn talks about and shoots a creative nude session based on these themes.

When a past client comes to you with a specific idea for a session and images it becomes more of a commercial shoot as the client is the real art director of the idea. Its then up to you as a photographer to put your creative spin on the images especially when it then develops into a series of sessions and images for clients to use as wall art in their homes and even offices.

Mark developed this idea into what he called his “Red Shoe Diaries” which in its self became quite a popular development in a fetish style of a Nude or Boudoir portrait shoot. This type of work not only attracted clients from just in his home town of Cardiff but from all over the UK.

Part 2 Red Shoes also includes using presets in Photoshop Bridge and ACR to proof selective colour
