G team rocks!

So.... awesome make-up artist Ganga Bhambra (blog HERE) and I spent two days shooting some (supposedly) Asian bridal images this week (the ideas kept changing, ooops!) with lovely models Claire @ Alan Sharman and Kelly Schembri. I'm now spending plenty a sleepless night retouching the images but they are nearly done :D By the way, the lovely headpieces were from Simply Silver by Heena.

We had loads of cinnamon, Michael Jackson and leopard print.. happy faces all around! So I've attached a couple behind the scene images to spread the love..

Autumnal Nicola

It seems like these images were shot an aeon ago! But they have just appeared in the International edition of the latest Kismet magazine so it's time to share, share, share!

These were shot in the graveyard next to the studio (though I wanted it to look like a park) and I got an awful lot of mozzie bites on my legs, but the pain (read itch) was worth it! It was my first autumn/winter editorial of the year and it started with a haircut (just the fringe!) for model Nicola by the great MUA and hair lady that is Becky Hunting. Most of the clothes were from Midlands designers including Epoque, Disorder Boutique and Gavin Douglas, and the looks were put together by the lovely Sarah Nickolds.

Ellie

It's been a while since I posted anything... I've been sitting on so many images waiting for publication (are there are so many more to come!!).

These were the first A/W shots I did this year. And it was such a hot day poor Ellie was sweating in all the thick tights!

The images were shot for Bahrain Confidential, and they appear in their September issue. And I also played around with my old film camera to get a couple extra shots (I do love the tone on these!):

 

This is how they were featured in the magazine:

And these are all the shots:

Jenny

At last I have some new images I can release. I'm sitting on so many shoots I feel like the princess from Princess and the Pea; there are millions of mattresses (images) under me!

Anyway, this is the lovely Jenny @ Profile. All the images were shot outdoors with the amazing light and breeze that we were lucky enough to get. The make-up and hair genius is Kenny Leung and the superb stylist was Sylvester Yiu.. With all day entertainment by Kiki, the funniest pug chihuahua cross ever!

I've been gagging to shoot outdoor beauty shots lately, something much more relaxed than the usual studio based glossy images. And I think we managed to capture it perfectly in these images!
