I put out a casting call looking for models for a bike shoot at my friend’s café in Walton-on-the-Naze. Paul runs a place called Revved Up—a proper biker hangout where you can grab a cuppa, chill out, and browse the merch he sells. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the bikers who roll through are some of the friendliest people you’ll meet.
Anna answered my casting call on PurplePort. She’s still new to modelling and was excited to give something different a try. We met up at the café and clicked straight away. Once we got shooting, she settled in quickly. I helped her pose on the bikes—there were loads of amazing ones to choose from—and Paul even handed her a few shirts to model in, which added a fun twist to the session.
It turned into a great shoot: relaxed, creative, and full of good energy.
Fancy a cuppa? Head down to Revved Up, open seven days a week and often hosting live music. You can find them on Facebook at Revved Up Tea Bar.
