Eden Alt Model

Moving to Peterborough has really impacted the time I can spend on my photography. It doesn't have much of a model/photography scene so I struggle to find people within Peterborough to work with. Of course I'm now only an hours train journey to London which is great, and I have a car, BUT travelling costs money...

Luckily enough I came across Eden's profile on Purple Port, and  after a few months of me settling into my life in Peterborough we finally arranged to shoot. We did originally plan to work with another model and make-up artist who sadly couldn't make it on the day (Watch this space that shoot will be re-arranged), so me and Eden decided to experiment in the studio.

I haven't done much studio work with models as I prefer to shoot on location as there's more to work with. I do however want to expand my studio portfolio and am working on some ideas for creative shoots.

Eden had brought a selection of outfits so I decided to test out some coloured backgrounds. I'm actually quite proud of these two shots and can't wait to work with Eden again!

To experiment a little more I decided to shoot through some fabric, for this shot I held the fabric loose in front of my lens so that it wasn't completely covered. I'm quite happy with the results and want to try out some different materials to see what other effects I can achieve.

Frock N Roll - Kayley Busby - Follow You Home

Have you seen the latest issue of Rebelicious Magazine yet? If not read it here.

This month's 'Frock N Roll' features Kayley Busby of Follow You Home. For this one I headed up to Derby and shot in the band's practice room. Kayley was amazing to work to with and I'm super happy with these shots. A massive thank you to Alice Takes A Trip for kitting Kayley out with some clothes too! Visit their website here.

Here's a few of my favourite shots from the shoot and the opener of the feature...

Frock 'n' Roll

At the end of 2013 I had some of my photographs of the lovely Scarlett Ward featured in Rebelicious Magazine, alongside an interview with myself, Scarlett and MUA Amy Murray. I'd wanted to submit to this magazine for a while, so I was mega excited when our set was selected to be featured.

After seeing the photos published, I wanted to get straight back out shooting to submit more. For a while I'd been wondering how I could combine my two main focuses within photography - music and fashion. And what better way than photographing female members of bands and getting them to talk about their style. Having suggested the idea of a feature to the awesome Dominique Marshall (editor and owner of Rebelicious) a few emails later and the idea of Frock 'n' Roll, a monthly featured was created.

So here it is my first Frock 'n' Roll feature for Rebelicious Magazine featuring one of the loveliest and most lively ladies I've worked with Jessica Calvesbert of Aurora...

As a special treat for the first feature, this month's Frock 'n' Roll also featured an interview that I did with Taylor Jardine of We Are The In Crowd...
(Note: the images in Taylor Jardine's feature were not taken by me.)

Look out for next month's issue of Rebelicious for my interview and shoot with Kayley Busby of Follow You Home!


The full set of photos from Jessica's shoot will soon be uploaded.

Hunger Club Clothing

Sunday I shot with the lovely Becki Lloyd in my new home of Peterborough. This was my first shoot in Peterborough and having not had time to go out in search of new locations I decided to make the most of what was right in front of me. Literally. The location featured in these photos is pretty much what I can see from my windows, with a few of the shots being taken at another location 5 minutes away from my flat.

My shoot with Becki consists of 3 parts. This is the first set of images taken for my friend who runs an independenct clothing label called Hunger Club. Here Becki models their new Backhander tee and mascot tee.
