issue 4 JAN 13

The Fashion Magazine with Creative Flare

4 ue s Is Merry Christmas from Creative Talent Magazine Creative Talent or CT Magazine is the brain child of North Yorkshire based fashion, advertising and pinup photographer Sean J Connolly.

When not taking photographs Sean is advising companies on IT strategy, and after looking at several hundred magazines waiting for meetings, Sean noticed that all magazines had a commonality, that being very little credit for the people involved. So using his creative and technical skills, CT Magazine was born.

CT Magazine is a fashion magazine with a difference. Not only do we contain the latest fashion trends both on and off the high street, but we cover all areas of fashion including apparall and beauty.

"So what is so special about that?"

We believe all talent is of equal importance. It is our aim at CT Magazine to showcase the talent involved in bringing you the photos we see everyday, from the photographers, models, make up artists to the hair stylists, fashion designers as well as writers, bloggers and journalists.

Every photo and article in the magazine is accompanied by full credit for everyone involved in bringing you the image.

Can I Get Involved? YES!

If you would like to be featured in the next issue of CT Magazine, just get in touch.

"Welcome to the fourth issue of CT Magazine. As we are being gripped by winter I felt it only proper that this issue was our winter issue.

I am honoured that in this issue I am able to bring you the work of Ian Farrant, who in my opinion is a remarkable man, overcoming adversity and taking some amazing photos. (page 1 0) We are also supporting the fantastic charity Heel & Toe, which helps children with cerebral palsy and other movement conditions.

We are pleased to help them with their brilliant work. (page 36) I am also delighted to showcase the work of Alexandra Frumberg, a NYC based photographer who's work is just amazing. (page 40) Thank you to everyone for your support and don't forget to spread the word about CT Magazine and email us your photos and articles."

"My passion for photography started using a compact camera attempting to capture the amazing images of a few of the wonders of the world like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and stunning pictures of San Francisco bay. Returning home, I enrolled on a course which taught me the skills on how I could take a professional picture without using automatic settings on my camera. This ignited my interest in all aspects of photography, but I discovered I had a talent when I was capturing portrait and landscape images.

Further courses followed and I set up a website 18 months ago, which has provided opportunities for me to work with various photographers, models and makeup artists. I have captured images at weddings, events, Photographer - Darren O-Brien family days, product launches and have Model - Nick Danks created various calendars and photo books. My greatest enjoyment is taking photos of my niece and nephew.

I am proud of my photography and one of my earlier shoots launched my friend’s modelling career. I have always had a creative mind and I am not afraid to try out new ideas. I often find myself studying images in magazines, on film and advertising boards which continue to inspire me as I develop my own unique style." www.jamesscrivenerphotography.co.uk 5

I have had the privilege of working with some amazing models, some of which are featured here. Kimmie Scarlett, Ivory flame, Auburn Rose and Fatma.

After breaking my neck and coming to terms with this I longed for something to do and photography filled this gap. My camera settings are always preset as I have no hand function.

My ideas are well researched in order for the concept to work and for me be to be able to access the locations. I went to college to study as more of a social than to learn but then the bug got me and I wanted to learn more about the subject.

I went on to study an MA in photography, achieving a distinction. Whilst on my courses I have had a unique opportunity to organise being alongside Rankin on a shoot and interview David Bailey, truly remarkable experiences.

Elizabeth Crawford - North East fashion mode elizabeth.crawford@live.co.uk

The idea of being a model had never really crossed my mind as I was growing up. You see beautiful faces everywhere all over advertisements but you never thi that they’re actually people; they’re just a face connected to a brand. Modelling always seemed untouchable, something that happened to ‘other people’. I never thought it could be my face.

Dennis C. Valdez - Essex UK

Fashion & Portrait Photographer How did you get into photography and how long have you been doing it?

I started my passion with photography shooting landscapes at first around 10 to 12 years ago. In the last 3 years however, one of my colleagues told me that I have an eye to see things through a lens and so I then bought my first DSLR which I upgraded to a better one last year. Since then, I have registered on model/photographer networking sites and have been chatting to talented photographers and models.

What types of photography do you do?

I enjoy shooting Fashion, Portrait, Glamour and Lingerie style shoots. In addition, I have done Beauty, Topless, Artistic/Classic/Figure Nude style shoots. However, I am always open to any suggestions and will consider undertaking any themes that might really interest me. I am particularly interested in the more edgy and creative shoots.

Have you photographed any well known brands or names?

At the moment, I am in the process of strengthening my already strong and versatile portfolio. I have not photographed any well known brands or names as yet but I am optimistic that I will have the opportunity to do so soon. Patience is a virtue as they say and I am a man with plenty of patience. To date, I think the biggest name I have worked with is one of the candidates from Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model called Juste. In the next couple of weeks I am looking forward to working with some international published models and also an actress on a popular primetime show on BBC 1.

Do you prefer working on location or in a studio?

As to working preference, I prefer to shoot in a studio however I have worked in different locations in the past. I normally invite models and also MUAs to my home where I believe it makes for a comfortable and relaxed environment for everyone.

What do your friends and family think of you being a photographer?

My friends and family have always been very supportive in everything I do and more especially with my passion in photography.

What preparations do you do before a shoot?

There is always a long preparation for a shoot with a model that I want to work with. To start with, I normally contact the model to suggest my ideas for the shoot or I will ask them sometimes what theme they may want to shoot. Once we have agreed, I will find a make up artist if they do not have one and will then set a date for the shoot. A day before the shoot, I will make sure that my memory card is cleared, all batteries are charged and lens are cleaned. If working in a studio, I normally meet the team usually outside the nearest train station and most of the time, I bring some snacks for them too. If the shoot is at home, I tend to make the shoot a relaxed one.

What do you think makes a goo A photographer can be anyone. Alth photographer it really depends on o my opinion, a good photographer is person wishing to pursue his/her drea their highest standards.

What’s your favourite shoot you As of the moment, I do not have any shoot, as I have loved all my photo s always treasure them and they alwa memory. However, my personal favo include Annabelle Lowe (https://www.facebook.com/annabe Miles (https://www.facebook.com/suk

Heel and Toe Charity is all about helping to provide free conductive education therapy to children with cerebral palsy, dyspraxia and other motor disorders. As they do not receive any direct government funding it is really important for them to do campaigns where people can donate to help keep the charity going. I was contacted by Jane Long from the charity to help with promotional material for a new campaign they were launching called ‘Spare a Pair’. The concept behind the campaign is for celebrities or designers to donate a ‘pair of designer shoes’ with the view of placing them in auction at their annual charity ball in order to raise vital funding. Working with Model Daisy Alys Turnell and her many lovely shoes we were able to come up with some great photos for the charity inspired by ‘sex and the city’ and ‘confessions of a shopaholic’.

For more information on Heel and Toe and the work they provide please visit their website www.heelandtoe.org.uk or if you know any designers/celebrities or are one yourself and would like to help donate please also visit the website.
