BOYSSS!!! bts

I forgot to post these a couple weeks ago after shooting these three lovely boys! Quick little preview before the rest are published:

Stylist Krishan Parmar got in touch to shoot Max (Boss), Charlie (D1) and Callum and I couldn't say no! The clothes came from Damian Marquez and Tamara Joseph, with exquisite accessories by Hope Rosemary. Ami Streets and Becky Hunting were in charge of grooming, and Stacie Walker assisted me and took most of the shots behind the scenes.

The final images should be up soon, this is just a little sneak preview!

(hmmm.. I think I look like cousin it after a crop.. I can't seeeeeee!!)

Emily

This shoot is slightly more commercial than I usually shoot, but it was a fun day so can't complain! The final images aren't as smiley as some I took, but Emily looks stunning in them. And we even used on of the vintage prom/wedding dresses that live in the studio..

The images were shot for the lovely make-up artist Ganga Bhambra. It was great to meet her at long last! And just pure coincidence that when she walked in to the studio Michael Jackson was playing on the old school iMac (I think Ganga 'slightly' likes Michael Jackson.. I spied a banner in her car!). You can follow her blog HERE!

Millinery shoot BTS

This is one of my favourite shoots ever! The hats that Maggie Bainbridge makes (link to come) are stunning!! I cannot wait till these are retouched and shown to the world.. In the meantime some behind the scenes shots, taken by my lovely assistant Stacie and myself (kept stealing the camera off her, oops!)

My desk

I was just prepping my bag for the shoot tomorrow and I started playing with my second camera body.. Might have to start taking it along with me on days out.. I missed it!

I ended up taking a couple pics of my desk. No one ever sees it, but it's where I spend a lot of my time! (Plus a little preview on the screen! and a few magazines I've had my work published in).

Holly and Jess

I'm so proud of this shoot! It just feels scrumptious :D

This was a test shoot with models Holly Subritzky and Jessica Lara from Boss Model Management. The girls were stunning and lovely (and so polite they both arrived early.. maybe too early!).

The super talented Sian Faulkner did the make-up and hair miracles (I wish I could keep her in my cupboard so she could do my make-up every day!). And stylist Sarah Nickolds completed the team (she used loads of Gavin Douglas' vintage collections). This basically meant loads of girly chat all throughout the shoot..

I used my new(ish) beauty dish, which I can't seem to stop using.. It just creates stunning light! And one of the new backdrops that I got from the lovely people at Creativity Backgrounds (really well priced high quality paper drops).

We did go slightly early 80s on the feel of the shoot, but the stunning blouses just screamed power dressing to me.. And we also slipped in a couple of natural shots! I adore the one of both the girls together.. hope you like it too!

Francesca

I've been dying to show these photos!! But had to wait until they were published..
They can now be seen in FaceON magazine, Issue 6 (that can be purchased here).

These were shot last year, with make-up artist Sian Faulkner and stunning model Francesca from Boss Model Management (who also provided the stunning lips that I showed in February). I loved going in this close, but retouching took a while..

 

And an extra natural shot too!
