As a Professional Photographer Manchester, I had been invited to spend a whole afternoon with Love Island star Teddy Soares. Teddy is a 26-year-old, Senior Financial Consultant from Manchester. He is marking the launch of Boë vodka, Boë vodka is bringing the big night out to a small Fiat 500. They have transformed the much loved three door hatchback into the hottest ride in town as they celebrate the launch of its new flavoured vodka.

The Fiat 500 came with a backseat cocktail bar, disco ball, and pink neon lights, which means that whoever wins the car can let their hair down in style in the one-of-a-kind Fiat.

Having been a professional photographer in Manchester and the North-West for over 3 decades now, taking pictures of a celebrity and a car is right up my street. I started out taking commercial photos of cars and bikes for Autotrader and trade magazines before moving on to things like PR photography and portraits.

Teddy was very easy to work with and quick to smile, which is always helpful for a photographer. We took some shots outside with the Boë vodka Fiat 500 in various locations around Manchester, the weather was not on our side unfortunately, but it does make the car colour pop in the photos, it is an eye-catching car which you might see if you are out and about in Manchester over the next few months!

We then moved inside, which I think Teddy was pleased about as he was outside in just a shirt on a cold November morning in Manchester. Ever the professional, he did not complain once! We moved on to a few action shots of Teddy creating some cocktails with Boë vodka. Thankfully Boujee has a cool Instagram worthy backdrop we could use for portrait shots. So, the third part of the shoot was straight up portrait shots in which Teddy was in his element, this made our time together very easy. It was a pleasure to do the shoot for Boë Vodka and to work with Teddy Soares for the day.

Having a natural model to shoot in potraits makes my life as a professional photographer Manchester a breeze, if only all the shoots were like this!
