And here we are! One of the shots from yesterday's shoot. It was an incredible experience, the weather was the best we've had all week and there was a good choice of light available. We had clouds, gloomy, wind and sunny intervals! I haven't had such a fun day in ages. The ladies I worked with for this are based in Brighton and we had good communication when it came to the preparation of this shoot.

I'm learning to work with other people and it's so much fun. I'm so in love with what I do that when a beautiful scene comes together and I capture the "moment" I forget all the trials that may have taken place and am in this bizarre happiness bubble. I know I know.. so corny! But so true :p

The lenses I used for this shoot were: Canon - 100mm, 50mm f1.8 and 10-20mm


And now some behind the scenes!

Getting ready in my kitchen!

Little people..





What brings us together and what keeps us apart

I'm a massive fan of street artist Slinkachu. He set's up (little) scenes that tell a story of what it's like to live in a city. All his 'little people' have a life that draws you in and sometimes makes you laugh! Definitely check out his blog - little-people.blogspot.com

Inspiration post

Karolina Kurkova

Gisele Bundchen

A few images for I have a shoot coming later this week. The clothes will be long and full of motion and we're using the English sea/ cliffs as a backdrop. I love the unexpectedness of the first shot and the pure energy in the second.

Sun is shining..


A mash up of summer filled days in Oxford and Brighton..

There's no way I'd ever go on this ride! -The one in the sky not the carousel! ;)


Lots of lovely days by the sea..






And of course there has been lots of baking! :)

And then there is my beautiful little Coco..

It's spring time..




I can't believe my last post was in Feb! I've been truly rubbish at keeping this blog. Note to self - be better!!

Lots of things have happened since Feb. Spring arrived (woo!), my birthday came and went and with it lots of partaying with favourite people, I had a visit from my friend in Belgium and have adopted a little kitten (I don't get him for a few weeks yet as he's still very small aw)

Here are some shots..

One fine day..

It was a beautiful day and at some point since we were both in town, my housemate and I decided to pop down to the sea front for some photo taking frolics.. here are some of the results from our efforts :)

This is the West Pier in Brighton, it burnt down in 2003 and it's become almost an icon for the city. It's quite beautiful when you see it in real life.

An outtake from the photo which I uploaded on Flickr :)

My fabulous housemate :D



All in all a good day!

thoughts


I find it very difficult to focus my full attention to one thing.. I'm so easily distracted and fluttering from one thing to another. It's taken me 3 days to complete a drawing that really ought to have been done in half that time! Instead I'm still drawing (nearly finished!) and have discovered several new blogs and beautiful words on this wonder that is the internet. How was life before all these people and their words, music, art, photos, videos, thoughts came into our lives? There is literally so much creativity and beauty and it makes me feel so small. These people that I will possible never meet have touched me and made me feel so much..

Life without the internet would be interesting but life with the internet makes me feel like I'm not alone. There is someone on the other side and we are all the same.
