This is one of many images taken yesterday with the gorgeous Anna from Oxygen models. She was a last minute replacement for the shoot and wow was she worth it!! Jess and I had a little idea last week taken from some fashion imagery we’d seen and with Jess’s illustration skills she drew a lovely set of eyes on Anna’s hands to add something a little kitsch and playful to overall feel of the shoot. The majority of the shoot focused on hair with the wonderful Leighanne producing more outstanding hair-styles for her GHD academy portfolio. She’s recently moved to Rachel Hammond Hairdressing at the Highcross in Leicester in case you’ve been looking for her! Thanks to the salon for letting us use the space they have there. More from this shoot will be appearing in my fashion portfolio very soon!

When Dave rang me last night to say he’d been working on my blog I quickly went online to have a look and I have to say am pretty chuffed the new look and feel he has given it! Very nice!!
So I thought I’d better post something new on here from a shoot I did on Monday. With the combined efforts of Jessica Nurse make -up, Angel Sayers hair stylist, and Leanne Vasko @Boss Model Management we combined our ideas, wardrobes a random fox and a wonderful set of antlers! It wasn’t all so bizarre!
Full shoot will go into the fashion portfolio soon!
Shoot with Leica M9 and 50mm f.2 Summicron lens
A week or so ago I managed to finally shoot Martha from Boss model management. We’ve been trying to get this shoot together for ages and she was one of the first girls I spoke to when I got back about doing a shoot for my book.
Martha is a real delight to work with, we had loads of fun with the shoot and captured vintage through the decades finishing with Martha as she turned up to the shoot in her stripey cropped jumper and chinos trousers, stripped back and warming.
She’s never quite had a bouffant like it! Thanks to the expertise of make-up and hair stylist Julia Jeckell, Martha acquired even more height to her 5ft10 inch frame.
In The first few shots I wanted to capture Martha appearing to be awkward, as if the model wasn’t quite there in the shoot, with her mind wandering off, distracted by other things. This led through to outdoor shots in a mixture of locations including a gorgeous grassy field at the back of my parents house where Martha was more free and able to add subtle expression and strong body language.
It was great set-building and taking vintage furniture and props from the house into the field or behind the green house, and thanks to Emily we obtained a fantastic vintage wardrobe whilst Dave snapped away in the background to get some nice fly on the wall stuff.
I Loved it and can’t wait to shoot again! The finished story will appear in my fashion portfolio very soon!
