Is it more of a challenge to continue shooting with the same models and try and find new diections to work with them or is it more challenging to work with new models?

My gut feeling is that I'll achieve better pictures with limiting myself to shooting with a small cohort of good models. Probably pretty obvious who at least a couple of them are. To that end I am actively rebooking models that I have previously shot that I feel I can work in conjunction with to produce good pictures.

What I like are models who turn up and put an active artistic imput in to the shoot - those that inspire me - these are the models that I want to shoot - the ones who want to see what the images on the back of the camera are like to see if they can improve them. The good pictures that I take are the results of teamwork. These are the models I want't to work with on a repeated basis.

This doesn't mean that I'm not going to shoot models I haven't worked with before but if I just primarilly concentrate on working with a few individuals is that a constructive way forward?

There are models out there that I would like to shoot that I haven't - but there are normally good reasons - such as distance - why I can't. Still have a few on my wish list but I'm not naming names.

Interested on any views on this.

Oh and if anyone knows any inspirational models that can get themselves down to Wiltshire....
