Front Cover Cosmetics

This month I got hold of an image I shot for FrontCover Cosmetics, it's available to buy at Boots nationwide. It's on the packaging for their ShadowBase eye primer, which by the way is absolutely lovely (I've been after a decent primer for a while, and this one is perfect for me!). It's easy to apply and all my eyeshadows look gorgeous now!

The stunning model in the image is Nicola Wright and the make up was done by Leanne Shaw. (The product comes on top of the image, but I had to take it off to scan it.. might have to get an image of it sorted soon)

This is the last image I took at the old studio.. around a year ago already! I remember it was on the same day as one of England's games at the World Cup. I took Nicola to the pub after shooting to kick-start her birthday celebrations and it was loud there! But very sunny too!!

Bahrain Confidential June

Just got back from my holiday to find a surprise new cover shot! I was expecting my beauty story to be printed in the June issue of Bahrain Confidential and then the cover popped up! Woop! (just a little squeal of excitement) I can't wait to receive the printed copies now.

Congrats to the whole team though! Make-up artist Sian Faulkner, hair stylist Martin Bland, stylist Natalie Armin and model Chloe Farnworth @ RMG..

By the way, I think I am hugely jealous of model Chloe's lips.. they are incredible!

 

Website building

Just a quick update..
I've had another publication this month, T&M Magazine, a beauty magazine from Canada in their Summer 2011 edition. Two images were published with a How To article on summer looks by make-up artist Sian Faulkner, with models Chloe @ Boss Model Management and Anthea @ RMG.. Can't wait to get the print version!

As a complete computer geek (or something like that), I've been spending some of my spare time making websites for friends and family. Nothing too fancy, but functional and cute enough!

Just this week, make-up artist Becky Hunting's site was launched, as seen HERE. It's a simple and practical design showcasing her work. Hope everyone likes it! And go give her some love!!

Loving the hats!!

I've been dying to show these images!!

I shot these images about a month ago for milliner Maggie Bainbridge's first collection. I'll post a link to her website once it's done, she needed the images first! Unfortunately for me Maggie moved to Canada about a week after the shoot; I would love to have her around to shoot her stunning headwear!

Sarah Nickolds provided the rest of the clothing, by local designers Gavin Douglas and Sulaimi Brookman, which suited the hats perfectly! I've been working with Sarah quite a lot lately, and her work is great.

I also met make-up artist Lucy Ridley on the shoot and stunning redhead model Milla Basma. Plus Stacie Walker assisted me and took all the behind the scenes images. They all did a lovely job! So happy about everything about this shoot!!

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!)
