What I've Been Up To?




So it's been a while, but I have been busy! Over the last couple of months I have been doing a few shoots, building my portfolio. The good news is that I got into my first choice university and the bad news is two words STUDENT FINANCE. If only it was an easy fill the form, check my household income and give me the require money - oh that's how it's suppose to be! Well, for me not so smooth.

Anyway, back to the subject - I have been doing some shoots, so is one which I did with two of my closest friends who I met about a year ago and have been working with every weekend ever since. Anyway this was creative directed by Melissa Hodges, Make up by the most amazing Tora Young, modelled by the beautiful Sharlotte Ritchie and photography by Andy. I really enjoyed this shoot and you can see we worked as an amazing team. I will let you see more of my shoots soon!

You should check out Sharlotte on her website here

Behind The Scenes of Finish Line

As you guys know I assisted the amazing Leann Soki Mak on the music video shoot of Yasmin's new single - which is out this week - for her single 'Finish Line'. Here is the Behind The Scenes video of the shoot and basically what I got to see throughout the day. This short clip 3 minutes and 49 seconds doesn't give the day justice and yes it felt like the MTV Behind The Scenes, but more like rather than a twenty five minutes show- I was up at 6 am and went to bed at midnight. Anyway enjoy the video and I wonder if you guys can see me in the video?


Finish Line is out this week and is available on iTunes, so get yourself a copy!!

Fashion Lovers Anonymous



Trying to play it cool

Oh Fashion! What have you done? You make me stay up all night flicking through magazines, you make me buy magazines, you make me buy clothes!

 Luckily enough I also get to see you before everyone else does in the form of press days. I haven't been to many this season, but I did stop by Robinson Pfeffer for a little press day BBQ and thank goodness I did. I ate sausages to comfort my slightly stalker-ish love for fashion and drown my sorrow with bottles of Kopparberg cider and yes I had all both mixed fruit and pear! Well if I am going to fall in love with fashion I'm going to do it the right way?

Robinson Pfeffer are what I would call the cool kids of the PR world - seriously they are cool. Their clients include Stolen Girlfriends Club - you remember the cable knit shorts that everyone copied, We Are Handsome who have the best swimwear since well the invention of swimwear, Obakki, Alpha 60 and Lucy Hutchings

If you haven't met Andrea, Tara and the team then maybe it's time you did they have the eye for the cool stuff and who doesn't like being cool?

LFW Street Style



I have been terribly lazy with not updating, you now have my full attention since I have now finished all my interviews for university bar one course. 


Here are my favourite street styles that I shot at London Fashion Week this season. Autumn colours were definitely not out of season yet and the pastels were crossing over to spring. This was my first experience viewing London Fashion Week on the other hand, rather than working on a show I was watching the shows and believe me it has its perks and not so lovely downfalls, like standing in freezing weather!
















You have to do the bathroom mirror shot!

Video Debut



The video is finally out - as of yesterday, which means I can show you all the backstage, behind the scenes MTV style stuff in the form of digital photography. I have to say it was an amazing experience and is its just like how MTV Making The Video makes it out as, but more hectic, less spacious and a very very long day.

Started with a 6 am alarm clock and finish with a car dropping me at my doorstep at about midnight. Working with Leeann was a lovely learning experience and someone I  would love to assist on a more frequent basis. Unlike the horror stories of stylists she gives great advice, passionate about her work and doesn't let out her anger on you - and no stupid requests! In other words a blessing!

Yasmin is an amazing artist, beautiful and not forgetting she is a well known Dj - triple threat! 

For know I will let you enjoy the photographs, but if you want to see the video click here and you'll be able to watch it, for some reason I have a feeling it will only be available to UK readers!

- UPDATE -

Here is the video youtube style.


And Finish Line.
