New Images!

Hello!

Now once again i need to apologise for the fact that this blog has been pretty stagnant for a AGES! I have no excuses, except for the fact that i am lazy. Sorry

Anyways... I finally moved to London at the beginning of January, which by the way, is great fun. Now I have been here a few months the 'shiney' persona has worn off, but i still love this city! I have met some great new friends and got the chance to hang out with a few old ones too.

I am working full time as photographers assistant! It's so much fun (hard work), but great!

I am really writing this post not just to update people on my boring little life, but because i have a few new images! Well i say new but really i shot them at the end of last year, and i haven't been happy enough with them to let them go... but... i think i have now got them to a point where i am relatively happy with them. That, and i figured they are not doing much for me just sitting on my hard drive!

So here they are...

  I shot both of these images in a very short space of time. But i had soooo much fun doing it. The model was great and really easy to work with so that made it so much easier. The clothes on both shots were supplied by Costin London, a fab new label that is about to hit London full in the face (So keep an eye out, its going to be epic)!

If anyone has any comments or feedback I would really appreciate it.

The changing season... Does your style hit back or hibernate this autumn?

I can't speak for all when I say this, but I think the general consensus is, that summer came and went far too fast!

The english summer lingered slightly longer than usual but it still seems to have left us all feeling slightly disoriented. Now with the closing nights and the cooler day creeping in, I am personally at a lose as to what the wear! Do I stay with Vest tops and cardigans, and accept the fact that I might be slightly chilly. Or do I move onto the Skinny Jean, Granddad jumper and army bot combo? 

Looking through the fashion trends that exploded with full force out of the London Fashion Week 2013, I am still none the wiser! Light pink, Velvet, Leopard print, PVC, and Turtle Necks are just a few of the Autumn/Winter trend predictions. This small list alone intimidates me! I love keeping up with the latest fashions, but I feel that they are just thrown upon us without any instructions! Do we mix? Can we wear 'light pink' 'leopard print' 'Velvet'? Or is that too much? So here are my suggestions... 

Personally I am sticking to what I know, and keeping it simple. I like the idea of the light pink. It's a nice way of just splashing a fresh bit of summer back into your wardrobe, but don't go too bonkers with it. You may end you looking like a strawberry bonbon! The same stands for all the others really, 'tinting' your own style with high end fashion trends, is a great (and more affordable) way to keep you looking fresh and in style, without looking over the top and out of place. 

I do really love the turn of the season and the new possibilities it bring. I recently did a photo shoot with one of my favourite Autumn/Winter styles. To me there is nothing comfier than a good quality piece of knitwear. It's warm, practical, and just in case the sun decides to make a fleeting appliance, its easily layered with a summer vest top allowing for a quick wardrobe amendment. 

Matching this with a well fitted pair of skinny jeans you are well on your way to being the friend that everyone wants as their fashion stylist. This look can also be awesome for the stylish gent wanting to make an impact on a new season. I am absolutely in love with the new Jack Wills Knitwear 'Crew' range. Its simple, stylish, and easily dressed up or down for any occasion. Check it out here...

The one thing I will say that completes any look, whether it's your old style with a new twist or a complete revamp... Confidence is the key. If you feel good, then you look good. It's not always up to the fashion bigwigs to label you lifestyle and fashion preferences. It's your life, your style... live it this Autumn.

Shadow Portraits...

For the last few weeks I have been working on some of my own portfolio images.

It started with an idea and has snowballed into experimentation with light (or lack of it!) I have mainly used myself as a model but I am hoping to continue to develop the idea with other models. Please let me know what you think. All feed back (good and bad) id useful.

Ruby Rice Collaboration work...

Just over a week ago I went down to London to work with a very talented make up artist called Ruby Rice.

To be honest it started out as a vert simple idea of getting a few people together in one place to see what we can get out of it... By the end we had 12 models and very little time! We worked on a rota, she did the make up of one person then passed them onto me to shoot while she made a start on the next! It worked rather well to be honest. 

It took me a while to edit down and I have barely had any free time away form photoshop, but.... Enjoy.
