Well what a great weekend we are going to have with this weather hopefully going to get a few shoots done in a brand-new Claypit we discovered only yesterday whilst out my personal shoot with a very lucky guy Unfortunately the guy didn't want us to video his session but we got a little preview of the pit that you could be joining me in if you book quickly As you can see this is a brand-new pit and the mud is nice and sloppy and thicker around the edges so it's a really good consistency for a great shoot and so far seems to be between 4 to over 6 foot deep So please feel free to PM me if you want to join me for a personal shoot before the weather changes and the temperature starts to finally drop towards late September
With the weather looking this good looks like there's a few more shoots playing there tomorrow may as well take advantage of it what's the weather is good And the mud is adorable

I really hope it wasn't you that had left all the muddy costumes I found disgarded at the side of the mud pit... leaving stuff like that around only draws attention to mud play, and could encourage increased security.
They are some of my items but they were hidden away but I know that now and then someone goes to my sites and finds my old outfits and someone even had one of my old outfits on once lol Too heavy to drag them back with me when coated in mud

My understanding is that Rob Blaine who ran Messy Fun was a private pilot and would fly over gravel quarries in a small plane spotting good locations, then head out there with his models at weekends. To this day his incredible deep creamy clay mud scenes have never been bettered, and his ability to hire models who looked like they'd stepped straight from the front cover of Vogue into the mudpits helped somewhat too.
Of course other people gradually started doing the same thing, which eventually resulted in a massive security clampdown by the quarry owners - I gather attempting to play in those pits nowadays is liable to end with armed security guards and possibly police involvement, hence why no-one is shooting material like his any more. It was a different age.

Lucky for me most of my locations are nice and private and out the way of others We spend a lot of time finding locations and often have to keep swapping locations due to any works taking place so have a good number of locations
