Dark & Vintage Photoshoot.


This Photoshoot Is A Dark And Vintage Shoot That I Have Always Wanted To Do. I Wanted To Express Simplicity In A Fashion Photography Shoot As Most Of My Shoots Are Very Fashion Themed. I Wanted To Keep It Really Simple With The Models Looks And Focus On The Props As The Main Focus. Charlten Palmer Was My Main Model In This Shoot But Amy Jones And Lydia Connell Were Also Involved. I Think The Skulls And The Guns Create A Creepy Scary Atmosphere And The Camera Creates A Vintage Feel To The Images. This Was A Really Simple Shoot But I Believe That It Worked. The Look Was Completed With All The Models Sporting A Dark Lipstick. Hope You Like These Simple But Effective Dark And Vintage Images.

Indian Photoshoot.


In This Photoshoot I Really Wanted To Do Something Out Of The Box. I Have Always Wanted To Do An Indian Native-American Styled Fashion Shoot. I Decided To Use Two Models That I Have Never Worked With Before. Their Two Contrasting Looks Worked Really Well Together In The Images. I Really Like The Props And Accessories Used In The Shoot Too. The Images Were Shot In A Woods And The Styling Was Done By Myself And Lydia Connell. The Makeup Was Done By Amy Jones, The Dark Haired Model In The Shoot. I Really Like The Native Patterns Created On Their Faces With The Makeup. I Think The Head Dress And The Head Bands Worked Really Well To Show The Native Look. I Think The Images In Colour Are My Favourite As I Think Colour Is Extremely Important For This Theme. The Woodland Setting Is Also Really Special In These Images And Works Perfectly In This Photoshoot Showing Indians In The Woods.




We Also Used Smoke In This Shoot To Put In The Pot. I Think This Works Really Well For This Photoshoot And I Also Like The Effect It Creates To The Images. I Also Like The Skull We Used As I Feel It Looks Good Against The Trees And Next To The Model. I Think The Fashion Photography As Well As The Beauty Shots Have Worked Really Well. You Would Have Never Thought That It Was Shot In November! This Has Been One Of My Favourite Photoshoots. I Think Working With Different Models Really Helps With The Variety In My Portfolio Showcasing My Work.

Dark Grunge Photoshoot.



This Is My First Grunge Shoot. I Feel That Lots Of My Photoshoots Have Been Really Floral And Just Wanted To Try Something Darker For This New Shoot. I Shot This At The Train Station Because I Really Liked The Brick Wall For My Model And Myself To Pose Against. This Is The First Photoshoot That I Have Ever Modelled In. It Was Really Fun To Get An Idea From The Models Point Of View. In Some Of The Images I Am Modelling A Black Wig Which I Think Works Really Well In The Black And White Image And It Was Good To Have Experience In Modelling.




 It Was Then Time To Shoot My Model. I Really Enjoyed Taking These Images As I Really Like The Darker Look And The Pink In My Models Hair. This Has Been One Of My Favourite Photoshoots To Edit And I Think The Black And White Edits Have Worked Really Well. My Favourite Edit Has To Be The One With The Model Posing Against The Brick Wall With The Clothing Blowing In The Wind. I Think Being Shot At The Train Station Works Really Well Because Of The Train Signal Sign In The Last Image. I Think Lydia's Poses Work Really Well In These Images Because They Are Really Strong and Bold. She Is Good At Creating Different Looks And Attitudes For Each Photoshoot That I Use Her In. I Have A Great Time Shooting With Lydia.

Summer Beauty Shots.


These Images Were Taken When I Went On Holiday To Turkey With My Sisters And My Friend Grace. I Thought I Would Take The Opportunity To Do A Summer Beauty Shoot In A Beautiful Setting. I Wanted It To Be Really Bright And Colourful And Use Jewellery As A Main Focus. I Really Like The Selected Pieces Of Jewellery That My Models Used To Pose With. My Two Models Were Lydia Connell And Gracie Amodio. I Used Really Bright Makeup On Both Of My Models And I Think This Works Really Well. I Took These Images On The Beach And My Focus Was Beauty Facial Shots As This Is Something That I Have Not Done Much. I Really Like Shooting On Location And I Think That It Works Really Well For This Type Of Shoot. I Think That It Is Really Important To Take Advantage Of The Beautiful Setting Of Turkey To Shoot Fashion Photography On Location. I Hope You Like These Selected Images For This Photoshoot.

My Exhibitions.


These Are My Final Photography And Graphics Exhibitions That I Did To Show My A2 Year Of Art Work. This Showed Final Big Prints Of My Favourite Images As Well As Giving A Space To Show My Sketchbooks To The Examiner. The First Two Images Show My Photography Boards. On The First Side, I Showed My Exam Pieces And My Newest Pieces Of Work, Linking To The Exam Theme Of 'Combination And Alliances.' I Showed The Combination And Alliance Of Flowers And Women. On The Second Board, Was The Best Of My Coursework. I Firstly Showed My Multimedia Project With My Favourite Images. I Also Had My Multimedia Video Playing On A Computer. Under These Images Were My Two Favourite Images Taken In Egypt.


This Is My Graphics Exhibition. Here I Have Photographed Two Of My Boards Together, As I Also Wanted To Show The Table With My Perfume Bottle Packaging. On The First Side Of The Board It Shows My Exam Pieces And My Japanese Geisha Advertisements. Here I Have Displayed My Posters, My Gift Bag, Invitations And My Canvas Bag. On The Other Side Is My Cosmetic Advertising Project Where I Show My Photography As Well As Illustrations On The Display Board. Overall I Am Really Happy With Both Of My Exhibition Boards For My 'A Level' Studies.

Projection Of Flowers Photoshoot.


This Photoshoot Was For My Combination And Alliance Project, Where I Focused On The Combination Of Flowers And Women. This Was The Final Photoshoot That I Did For This Project And I Was Extremely Happy With The Results Of This Shoot. I Think That The Combination Of Using My Own Flower Photography To Project On My Model Worked Successfully, Some Projections Creating Shadows And Other Interesting And Exciting Floral Patterns. I Used Lots Of Different Imagery Of Flowers. I Had The Help Of Victoria Cleave To Model In This Shoot. She Was An Amazing Model Who Followed My Direction Extremely Well. I Also Used The Clothing To Create Shape And Softness To The Images. Lastly, I Brought In A Bird Cage To The Shoot, To Suggest 'Trapped Beauty.' This Was The First Ever Studio Shoot That I Have Done, As I Normally Favour Shooting On Location. I Then Used These Images As Well As The Ophelia Images To Create A Fashion Photography Book For My Exam Piece. This Was My Very Last Photoshoot That I Did For My 'A Level' Studies Using This For My Exam Piece. I Hope You Like Them.








Ophelia Fashion Photoshoot.


This Next Project Was About Focusing On The Combination And Alliance Of Flowers And Women. This Is What I Decided To Do For Exam Theme For My Photography 'A Level.' I Really Wanted To Capture This Theme In Fashion Photography. The Combination Is Common In Most Pieces Of Art Showing Women. When Looking At Historical Images Of Women And Flowers, I Came Across The Old Shakespeare Story Of Ophelia, The Woman Surrounded By Flowers Drowning To Death. I Decided To Create My Own Fashion Photography Approach To This Story. I Wanted To Show More Of The Beauty Rather Than The Tragedy Of This Story. I Decided To Shoot These Images In A Bath Tub. I Experimented With Three Different Models To Capture Different Looks. This Was One Of My Favourite Photohoots That I Have Done. I Really Liked How It Was A Modern Approach To The Ophelia Story And I Believe This Was A Really Successful Idea.
