American Debutantes

The other half of my final project for second year.

After meeting Freddie Helwig at the beginning of term, I decided to base one of my projects on Teen Vogue. The idea is basically rich, American teenage girls in England, the Nouveau Riche of society. I shot around sandbanks as it's a very posh area, and I was really pleased with all the extras I managed to get (boats, Chihuahuas and a mercedees!) Which all added to the lifestyle these girls lead. I was very pleased with the casting, and Nicole and Sophie were fantastic models. Dionne was wonderful with the make-up too!

These projects have taught me how important it is to have a strong team of people around you, that you can rely on, if one thing doesn't go according to plan, then everything will fall apart. I can't believe how much I've managed to get done in the past few months, it's been manic, but I'm already starting to miss being so busy!

I have hundreds of images to go through at the moment, I did a shoot photographing Zoe's final collection (seven kids in the studio at once, it was crazy!)

Rosie, Max and Oscar visited me last weekend, and I have some lovely images of them in the studio (struggling to choose which ones I like best!)

Time for Tea?

Part of my final project for this year.

Children's fashion editorial, intended for 'Junior' magazine & based on the story of 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea' - basically animals invading a children's tea party! Pretty much the most fun I've had on a shoot, with Alpacas chasing Anna, lambs eating the reflectors (and designer children's dresses!)

Styling was done by Zoe Robinson, who I've worked with quite a lot now (and seems to understand whatever I say even if it doesn't make sense!) She founds some more boutique children's brands, which worked so well.

Had an exhibition of my work at The Winchester this month, which I was really proud of, and I'm generally feeling full of ideas for summer projects (but getting pretty scared for 3rd year!)

Currently listening to: Kyte's new album

The Sound of Beating Wings...

Old picture, still quite like it!
