Katarina

Yesterday was about grungy 90s styling inspired by the film, Kids.  Thank you to Viva Hair Salon in Soho for letting us use your basement!

It's always lovely to work with a new team and I hope to work them again soon.  Photographer Yoshitaka Kono shot on film and stylist Nicole Lucas came up with some real outfit gems.  And what a pleasure it was to work with our amazing model, Katarina.

Here are some behind the scenes snaps:

And these are some of the many dolls we found stashed in the basement.

Pretty Isabella

Last week, I shot an editorial with Flora Deborah and Olivia Wright at the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park.  The day started and progressed rather shakily with the rain threatening to ruin the whole thing and the combination of Olivia and my navigation skills resulting in us circling, on foot through a swamp, the entire circumference of the wrong plantation.  We thank Jamie at M+P for his patience as he quietly followed us as we found ourselves back at the car park more than once in 1.5 hours.

Once we finally found the rest of the team who were drinking Ribena and eating crackers, things were underway.  We had models Kaitlyn Dorman from Storm and Jamie Walker from M+P with us to shoot a boy/girl/floral/matchy-matchy story surrounded by the lovely flora and greenery of Isabella Plantation.  Once we got going, we got through it pretty speedily.  I managed four makeup looks each, keeping the hair simple and natural with a side parting.  The makeup was inspired by flowers, in particular pansies and we used a mix of painted on and real flowers on our models.

Here are some snaps I took behind the scenes:

I am so excited to see the final images!

2012?

It has been a total AGE since I posted on my blog and to be honest, I was surprised that it was still here!  Hopefully, I'll be updating it more often now as there are lots of exciting things going on and new images to share.  The chronology will probably be all wrong as there's a lot of back log to get through and it's all jumbled up in my head anyway, but better late than never, I guess.

This is going back to the beginning of the year, but I shot a wonderfully fun Candy Pop concept with Elne, stylist Dasha Samoylova and our models Aurelija and Tim.  I did the makeup and hair for this one.

Enjoy!
