I’m slowly getting around to editing my own images from the week of shoots in the sunny Costa del Sol with the very first FOTO-CLUB international photography holiday. I’ve started on them alphabetically so the first images I’m going to show you were actually taken just a few hours before we flew home.

The location is an eerily beautiful abandoned villa amidst large but very overgrown gardens. The house was once a B&B but the owner left a dozen or so years ago and has never been back. Consequently, the house’s decor is “quaint”, possibly even “quirky” by the standards of that time. But it provided us with a wide range of shooting possibilities. After a few abortive shots using the strobe, I usually ended up using the abundant, and lovely, natural light.

Here are a few of my favourite images of the lovely Abby…

And if you fancy joining us on the next trip in March 2017…
