‘Fashion Phobia’ shoot at Planet Reptile
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.

Thought I’d also post a before and after so you can see some of the post processing involved:
‘The Doll’ shoot transformation
I’m really pleased to be working with a new professional makeup artist Gemma Sutton on some new shoot ideas. She’s an ex model, but also a fantastically creative artist; one of the best I’ve worked with. You can see a few of the final shots from this shoot on my flickr stream.
We had a shoot idea to create a ‘doll’ look using some extreme makeup, a wig and fake lashes and using my lightring. I took photos during the transformation of Vicki and was so staggered when I saw the result. Here it is from start to finish, showing the progression of hair,makeup, lighting, and then finally a bit of post-production. Any questions or comments just add below.

Kev’s shoot with Vicki that I helped out a bit on. This one’s my favourite.
Rosa Bloom – Swindon’s newest designer
Theatrical dress-up goes to Glasto!
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.
