Hello friends! It’s been a while, I’m super excited to share with you a very special shoot that I created at the end of last year with lovely Yinsey and Annette. As many of you know it had been a tough summer, I’d broken my ankle right in the very beginning of it, literally 10 weeks prior to this ! After weeks of bedrest I was CRAVING to create and I think that feeling was certainly reflected in the opulence of this shoot!
A couple of years ago, while wandering through Pinterest I came across the beautiful goddess paintings of chinese artist, Zeng Hao Dun Huang. Drawn to the beauty, personality, and evocative flow that he captured in his subjects, I’ve wanted to create a piece of work inspired by the feeling that his pieces evoked in me.
The headpiece we used here is by Ivy Design and from the moment I received it I knew this picture had to come to life! ….
On this day I had the pleasure of working with Emma Cargill. I came across Emma on Instagram and really liked her vibe. I reached out to her and this was our first shoot together. It’s always important to me that I connect with my model as it’s this connection that leads to something precious being born from our shared collaboration…
This shoot follows from my previous blogpost, we pick up this story soon after that.
We’re still in the Secret Garden and the sun’s about to set. There’s a chill in the air and I find myself itching to capture something as the light shifts from warm yellows to cool twilight blues. It’s my favourite time of day…
Last year I had the most incredible opportunity presented to me. SmugMug, a company that I’m a huge fan of and one that I’ve been supported by since almost the beginning of my journey asked me if they could make a film about me where I give an insight into my craft, from inspiration to approaching and executing a shoot.
This is something I’ve never really done. Sure I’ve made some behind the scenes videos but I’ve never really shared where the art comes from and what drives it still. So of course I said yes! …
