Studio Work

A couple of weeks ago I practised my photography using studio lights, it was so much fun I can’t wait to use them again! It’s difficult trying to get the lighting you want at first but then you get the hang of it. I teamed up with Ellia who is an aspiring MUA and we hired ourselves a little studio in Greenwich for a couple of hours. Our model was great too, she came on time and was so friendly 🙂

I feel like I could get better photos next time but I will keep practising using studio lights until I get the perfect photos, practice makes perfect! We did three different looks and decided to do mostly headshots just so that the makeup was the focal point. Please have a look and feel free to let me know what you think!

London Fashion Week – Street Style

Continuing from my previous post, here are some street style outfits from LFW. Which ones are your fave?

London Fashion Week

As most of you know, this time last week was London Fashion Week which I managed to go to. It was held at Somerset House and I was asked to go for the day to take some photographs of the event. The weather was pretty miserable for the whole day, it rained non stop but I was so distracted I didn’t realise I was drenched until I was back on the tube…

I’ve always wanted to go just to witness and be part of the atmosphere which  was so amazing considering it was only the first day! It started off being a little empty in the morning but once it hit lunch time hours it was so busy, people were taking photos everywere – I was in my comfort zone! Pretty much everyone made an effort, maybe some a little more than others…

I will do another post on a few of the street style photos, but for now here are the rest of the photographs from the day 🙂

Bootsale Bargains

After the wettest and windiest week, it’s finally Friday, yay! This only means one thing, and that is using my free time to do some more posts. I went to a bootsale last week, (I go pretty much every two weeks with my dad) but I always manage to find some bargains which is why I love them so much! When I was there I found myself staring at this lady’s stand where she had a load of vintage bags for sale and I couldn’t help but buy one for myself,  vintage Italian real leather handbag? umm yes please!!

Hellooo, I hope everyone’s had a great day, just one more day to get through and then you can relax! I wanted to make a quick post on how happy I am that I created my blog. It’s a little bit like a diary, where I can flick through my posts and look at at what I have achieved. Today I hit 50 followers, I know that’s not a thousand or a million yet..(maybe one day lol) but it’s a start so thank you for following, it means a lot!!
Also, if you are interested in fashion or photography or anything else please post your link below so I can have a look and follow! 🙂

Christmas Faves

How quickly has Christmas come and gone?! It’s the best thing about winter, the family, the decorations and of course the food (still in a food coma tho!) As a new years resolution, I promised myself I would start using my camera a lot more around the house and when I’m out. I use it a lot don’t get me wrong, but when something so simple needs photographing I just tend to use my phone so I will try my best to stop doing that!

Anyway, I got some pretty amazing presents this Christmas as I’m pretty easy to buy for which is always good ;). These are my absolute faves!

P.S I’m going to see Beyonce in March eeeeeeeek!
