A while ago I uploaded the first half of my photoshoot with Sophie which was a little bit of a mix between a fashion photography lady gaga glam mix and rough and ready rock and roll.

Well the second half of that shoot is a little bit more gentle. It’s more parisian boudoir I suppose. We redecorated our bedroom a couple of weeks ago, so I got Sophie round to give the purple walls something to look at! I think the mix is perfect, but then I’m biased.

Verdict?

Oh and here’s a candid one from while I was setting up, I think it’s quite fun

I’m pretty sure that the result of those two – Lady Gaga and Steel Panther – would probably come up with something that looked and sounded a little like a bad Ratt b-side. However luckily this isn’t an audio post. This is the glammed up results of my photoshoot last night with Sophie. The second half was a little bit more luxurious than the glam/sleazy/hippy photos below and I’ll post those later.

What do you think?

Hmm, maybe with a bit of Cheryl Cole and Glastonbury mixed in as well.

Ironically I hate pretty much everything I’ve referenced here – other than Steel Panther, I’d get my tits out for them any day.

Over the last few years, I’ve ended up doing a number of different fashion portraits. Below is a random selection. Some of these were taken just for fun, others for specific projects.

Models include: Hannah, Sophie, Agnes, Fern & Jen.

This photoshoot was done in Surrey about a year ago – it’s one of my first attempts at fashion photography and I really enjoyed it. Having said that, I just don’t think fashion gives you enough scope sometimes – it’s all about the clothes!
