The Cardigan of Mixed Emotions...

On Saturday, alongside 100 or so elaborately attired ragamuffins, I nerded out at an event for the release of Dave Brown and Noel Fielding’s new book 'The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton' in Golden Square, Soho.
It was a pretty mixed bunch, including at least 5 sporting Noel's hair, one woman who had been at the square since the night before, 1 man dressed as an elephant, several hardcore emos and 1 impressively dressed vintage couple. The crowd were buzzy and emitted an impressively loud scream when the duo appeared and began the main event, painting a billboard with a wonderfully colourful and childlike painting of a tiger sporting red boots and 2 ghosts.

Twas an eclectic mix of  painting, comedy, medieval music and breakdancing hedgehogs.There was also a painting area for people to create their own witty masterpieces, the best title going to 'The mixed Emotions Cardigan'. I also got my copy of the book signed, which was definitely the highlight of my week :) Yay for Painting and Noel Fielding and Dave Brown!

Cross my heart.

Another shoot in hopefully a series of 3 using the studio. Another model with a different selection of props and outfits. Orginally we were going to go for something quite Chanel-ish but it veered off in a completely different direction. Enjoy!

1 more shoot to come, I may be able to squeeze it in before half term, but then again, I might not. Who knows? It's a lottery with me, you never know what you're going to get. I'm just crazy like that. ;)

Fun & Furs...

So here is my first shoot of hopefully a sequence of portraits similar to these. Myself and an eager model composed these with a single flash head and some props we had lying around.

I recently purchased a fancy furry 1940s style coat, and was going to unveil it in this shoot, but my model quickly whipped the fur from the coat (don't worry, it's detatchable) and we ended up with a slightly more sensual set of photos than I had bargained for.
(side note: I'm most definitely not complaining, she looks great without the coat, probably better.)

I'm really pleased with how they've come out, but what do you think? Any critisisms? Ideas?

Hopefully more coming soon...

The golden section...

In photography class we are studying golden section for our technical books. Hence I thought I'd try out a golden themed photoshoot, as you do. We plastered my lovely volunteer models with gold makeup and experimented with the studio some more. Here are my 2 favourite photos. Enjoy :)

There's been a serious thinning of posts recently and for that I am very sorry :) I've had a lack of inspiration and been occupied with school work, you know how it is. Half term's coming up in 2 weeks (sweet sweet holiday) and I think I'm starting to get some ideas for more photos, so don't give up on me just yet ;)
