June 2013

I know how hard it is to be photographed by someone, particularly if you don’t know them very well, so I was really honoured when Danica, a work colleague of mine, agreed to be one of my subjects, without even seeing any of my work. Thank you for trusting me enough to let me photograph you, I hope you love these images as much as I do. Check out the photos below!

I am so happy to finally be able to make my big announcement! I have been working really hard over the last couple of months, learning new skills, and preparing myself and my workspace so that I am able to offer people the opportunity to have a beauty shoot with me

It’s definitely a different direction for me as a photographer, and I’m sure there will be some people who don’t quite see the connection between my personal work (particularly the Banksy project) and where I’m heading with this at the moment, but I do feel that it is important to work outside of your comfort zone and to dabble in other areas of your craft in order to really develop as an artist and continue to improve your skillset.

I feel that getting into this genre of photography has already made me a better photographer and will no doubt, improve my personal work in the years to come.

A couple of weekends ago I had a big day of beauty shoots in my new studio and I’ve finally finished editing all the photos. The images were all shot on a Canon 5d mk3 (which by the way, is utterly amazing) and a Canon 24-105 lens (also amazing).

I had three shoots booked in that day, a great variety of subjects and lots of nerves. We had Gabrielle on hair and make up, and me on photography. Everyone pitched in 120% and we ended up with some stunning images.

Over the next week or so I will be sharing these images, and I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of the ladies I had the pleasure of shooting, you were all so lovely to work with and I hope you like the photos.
