Sparklers at Lydiard Park

Kris Talikowski Photography cover shot for Ragdoll Magazine Issue 2

Ragdoll Magazine is Swindon’s newest music and fashion magazine.  After featuring a couple of the Industrial shots in their first issue they requested an autumnal sparkers fashion shoot for issue 2.  Using the amazing skills of stylist Emma Kimber, Swindon model Laura Davenport and Miss Swindon’s Sherie Smith we set about creating a colourful nighttime scene at Swindon’s prestigious Lydiard House.

UPDATED:Ragdoll liked the photos so much that they are even using one for the front cover.

Blue, white and silver Industrial magic

Working with 2 other photographers, 3 models, 2 MUA’s and a stylist across 5 locations around a building we put together a blue, white and silver inspired industrial shoot.  The behind the scenes photos were taken by Vicki and you can see them on her blog.

‘Fashion Phobia’ shoot at Planet Reptile

Fashion-Phobia

Trying to pull together 3 models, a snake, spider and bearded dragon and matching makeup was not all that easy, but Gemma and I came up with the shoot idea of ‘Fashion Phobia’.  The actual finished photos you can find on my flickr photostream.

‘The Bird’ transformation

Cherry-Vixon-2

I was approached by Amanda Thompson otherwise known as Cherry Vixon on MM or Magnolia on Myspace.  A very creative model who has a huge collection of looks, clothes, wigs and props. Together with the creative skills of Gemma Sutton on makeup we came up with a bird inspired look.  Click the image to see the full transformation.

The latest Oxford Fashions

Gemma-Sutton

I was asked to shoot some clothes by Charlotte Scaplehorn in Oxford in conjunction with fashion stylist Emma Kimber and Makeup Artist/model Gemma Sutton.  We arrived at 8pm so had to shoot quickly to get the 3 looks we were after.  I also had to do some punting down river to get the first shot.  For the record I am not good at punting.  Here’s the best 3 shots.

Rosa Bloom – Swindon’s newest designer

Theatrical dress-up goes to Glasto!

Rosa Bloom fashions - group shot

I saw in the local Swindon Link Magazine a story about a young local fashion designer, Rosa Hirsh-Holland (who works under the name Rosa Bloom) who was taking her new collection to sell at Glastonbury.  Her pieces are what I can best describe as ‘theatrically burlesque’ with lots of colour, fabrics and with a real element of dress up.  I contacted her to see if she’d be interested in a shoot.  She was also contacted by a local graduate stylist Emma Kimber who has been looking to expand her book.   The last member of the team we pulled in was Gemma Sutton, a local professional makeup artist who’s work I’d seen was truly superb.  We then found a farm in Lechlade to shoot on, and last Sunday we set out with models; Sherie Smith (current Miss Swindon), Jaimie Goodenough, Jo Phelan, Helen Drew and Vicki Blatchley to see what we could create.  The resulting photos are the best from the day.

Miss Swindon & Miss Wiltshire Finalists

Miss Swindon & Miss Wiltshire 2009 Finalists group shot

Yesterday I did the photoshoot for 15 of the 20 Miss Swindon & Miss Wiltshire Finalists (5 were unable to attend).  Shooting 15 girls in 3 hours was no easy feat but somehow we managed it.  Headshots below:
