As London Fashion Week steadily approaches in the middle of a very busy winter period, London Speedlite Scene has already enjoyed their 1 st LSS Meetup of the year which delivered on it’s promise to be a memorable event. It was lovely to see everybody and speak to most of you in general. I’d like to thank all who turned up for the event and also pleased to say that overwhelmingly the feedback we have been getting back from the last meetup is very positive. LSS have recently booked meetups for Feb and March which are already booked up for photographers while reliable models and make-up artists are concurrently being scouted and selected. Our creative team are working incredibly hard to best meet the up and coming event requirements and to ensure their success. I leave you by wishing you all a happy valentines and look forward to seeing some romantic images being taken by all…

LSS Meetup No.13: Avalon - Lounge - Club - Bar 22/01/12 As expected the 13th meetup held at Avalon Bar, Shoreditch was a huge turnout. With over 20 photographers, 30 models; male and female, 6 MUA’s the event was full of talent, glamour and excitement. To top it all off the photographic meetup group had incorporated its first video shoot courtesy of Dance hall artist Mr Midas. This was no doubt a high profile occasion as UK celebrity figure Dave Courtney made a special guest appearance. We also like to thank the owners of the venue for being very accommodating also for extending the allocated time LSS were allowed to use the venue.
