Well I recently went to visit my friend and fellow artist Rod Munro who lives in a beautiful part of Scotland, and not one to miss out on a photographic opportunity I was most grateful that the amazing Madame Bink made the ‘very long’ journey up to join us.
It was an extremely long journey for her. I emailed her a picture of my Mocha from the airport departure lounge – this is Bink’s favourite drink, and so I thought it would get me ‘in tune with her’ – and she had already been on the road for 4-5 hours, and we both arrived at Aberdeen airport at around the same time.
Now one thing I sort of knew about Bink was that she did not like heights, so here’s a shot of our first location, including a handy indicator of where I asked her to pose! Of course the best light was near the edge :-D
And this was the view down.
And I did tell her not to look down :)
OK, enough stage setting and let’s see some snaps.
Oh, and I also took her to a barn full of bird poo, look at that light though!!
Now in my defence I did keep saying to her that she did not have to do the poses, but Bink is the ultimate professional, so even after a very long journey, and really cold and windy conditions (oh did I forgot to mention that it was not very warm, sorry Bink!) and her fear of heights, she came up with the goods, as she always does. So if you want the very best, just Bink it :)
I always express my gratitude to models for their part in creating such great images with me, but extra special thanks must go to Bink for all she endured on this shoot. Thank you Bink.

Stunning location and fantastic work by all involved and totally amazing knowing Madame Bink is not fond of heights
These are soooo beautiful Tim, i’m jelous:).
How brave of Bink to pose on such a hight, I know how afraid she is when she even stands on a newspaper.
Super work of the two of you.
Great location for these images Tim. good work from all. have to sa you would not get me near that edge either.
Great images Tim, Really lovely use of light and pose.
Thanks for all the comments.
And special thanks Dave, I learnt from the master, oh Obi Wan :)
Great stuff my friend. Your work gives me the impression that I’m looking at something in “real time”. I’m trying to figure out what you do that gives me that impression. I must also add that, even with Ms Bink’s fears, she was a great choice for this project.
Great set of pictures, Tim! This is Findlater Castle on the Moray Coast, right? Great setting…

Well spotted Martin, you obviously travel.
I tried to read your blog, nice images and lighting setups but I’m afraid my German is very poor :)
Hi Tim, thanks for the compliment! If you want to read some of my tutorials in English, you find some at http://www.lightingrumours.com/articles/tutorials
Until now, there are only three written by me, but more will come! I really like your images… where are you based in Scotland?
