Autumn Portrait (Part One)

As I hadn't done an autumn shoot this year, I thought it only right that we do a portrait shoot, utilizing the amazing colours of nature. The shoot itself, was in fact postponed due to the horrendous rain we'd been getting that week. Because of this, we had to reschedule for the next day and hope for the best. With the most amazing luck, we met in the center of Bristol in the afternoon (rain or shine) with the most amazing light - a cloudless sunset. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful light!

Watch out for Part Two coming soon!

Shirt is from H&M.

I Love Crafty Twilight Tropics Shoot

I was recently asked to collaborate with the wonderful jewellery maker, I Love Crafty, and previous model, Bala Swan Piti, in a shoot for ILC's new Twilight Tropics range (Found Here).

We had a great time popping flashy outfits together to combine with the mirrored jewellery. 

As well as this, we were constantly distracted by ILC's incredibly cute baby!

The City Girl (Part Two)

Bigger post than usual today!

There were so many shots of my lovely model Tilly, that I Just couldn't decide!

As we went for a clothing change, (and as we were both tired from walking about the centre) I decided to base the second style inside Colston Hall. The updated venue is just brilliant for lighting! Plus, I'd used it briefly before in another shoot, and so knew all the best places for shots (or so I thought).

I had wanted to shoot the gorgeous Tilly against my dark-gray backdrop, but as this was at home, it wasn't possible. However, I suddenly found that the hall had a great dark wall to use instead! On top of that, there was a streak of very bright sunshine coming through from the window, which made it amazing for shots 1, 2, 3 & 4.

If that wasn't enough, we found something else. I'd never known it, but at the very top of the building was an outdoor seating area - fantastic! The light was very bright and sunny, and so this is how we got shots 7, 8 & 9.
