Back in Front of the Lens - A shoot with Kate

Before I went on holiday to Sweden I had a photo shoot scheduled in with the lovely Kate Bloomfield.  This was mostly for a book which I shall make a feature in all about Vintage Style.  I am so excited and honoured to have been ask to be involved but it is still a work in progress so I cannot tell you too much about it yet.  I will be writing another post on this at a later date all about being published as I have something else coming up very soon too.

I met Kate some years ago when we were both on the set of a short film.  We didn't get to chat much at the time as we were all busy working.  A few months down the line Kate and I bumped into each other again at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes.  Kate was in the middle of organising an event to be held at 93 Feet East and ask if I would be involved.  I was still performing burlesque at the time and she wanted me to perform but to also book some other performers for her.  From there our friendship built and we have been involved with a number of projects since.

Here are the results of our shoot.  I won't spoil the surprise by showing you the image I sent out for the style book.  You will just have to wait and see.

You are able to view the images in a larger size if you click into them.  Unfortunately my page layout doesn't help with pillars on both sides. Funny enough I am actually a dog person but I do love the image of me holding the porcelain cat standing in front of the cat wall.

It has been a while since I last did an actual shoot where I am the subject in question, mostly preferring to be working behind the scenes.  I hope you like them and that the publishers like what I sent them too.  xx

Thank you Tallulah. It was really hard trying to decide what to shoot! x
