Photo Shoot with Titus Powell

On Friday 12th August I travelled down to Ealing to shoot with a Photographer I have shot with many times in the past. I very much enjoy working with Titus as he know's exactly what I'm talking about and helps you out with great complimentary words during the shoot. We went over the photo's on each look we did to make sure we had got 1 really good photo. It's always so much fun and this time was really good.

Recently I had been looking for Latex and Accessories Designers to collaborate with and I luckily come across a lovely Latex Designer called Pandora Deluxe Latex. She offered to lend me a 2 Latex Dresses which was awesome, so I excitedly got to Ealing, unpacked with my rather huge teddy lol. And off to the Tube Station I went to collect the Latex :D

Just arrived at Chancery Lane

My pretty little shoes :)

Getting off of the tube.

It was scary going on the tube alone, I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to going underground lol but it was easy. I got to Chancery Lane and waited outside for Mags to arrive, she is such a sweet heart and had bought me a bag with more than 2 Latex Dresses in :D.

I had gloves, Skirt, Top, Panties, Dresses and little accessories :D.

When I got back to Ealing, we got straight in with the shoot going through what I had bought.

It was so exciting and really good fun and went too quickly!! I can't wait to see the photos!

We firstly started off with something which was quite simple and flowy which was a sheer white top with a beautiful Brass Guitar clock I managed to pick up round a car boot sale.
Then we tired an open short sleeved cardigan and then moved on to the latex.
It was such a surreal experience putting on latex, it sounded as though I was slapping my skin lol and I actually found it quite easy to put the latex on than what I thought.
We also used this huge teddy which was bigger than me and was so nice and cuddly :)
We shot most of the Latex which was given to me and we played around with some different poses and angles.

I totally recommend working with Titus he is a fantastic photographer and he is someone that inspires me.

I hope to work with him again in the future.

Check out his website and book a shoot with him and grab a copy of his Novel 'The Dare Ring'
And a new novel which is 'Coming Soon'

Friday

Hey guys!

I am so excited to shoot tomorrow with a great friend of mine Titus Powell.

He is such a fantastic photographer and has got some amazing work!

A lovely Latex Designer Called Pandora Deluxe Latex has offered to lend me 2 dresses, which I am sooo ecstatic about! I'm so thankful that she is lending me it as I know that a lot of Latex Designers don't like lending their work out to people who havn't worked with Latex before.

What they must remember is everyone has to start somewhere...

So I can't wait to meet her and shoot her fantastic designs :).

Hopefully we will be able to work with each other much more in the future to come!

If anyone is interested in collaborating with me on any Latex Ideas please do get in touch!

I really would like to get into more of the Alt Modelling, I am extremely Versatile and happy to pretty much try anything out.

I will be buying some amazing Latex Shoes soon so that I have some cool shoes to wear;

Here we go :) ;

Love these ones <3 their for pole dancers but would work wonders for any cool latex shoes.

I will be posting some updates tomorrow about any backstage piccies that I take!

It's guna rock sooooooo so so so can't wait!

Have a great day everyone

xoxo

Adrian Davies

Last year I used to do a lot of Photo Shoots with Adrian Davies.

Hes an awesome photographer and he used to hold Model Days where lots of Photographers would come down and shoot the 2 models which were booked for the day.

We used to play around with props and ideas and also lighting techniques so it was a fantastic day.

It was always a Learning Curve too and you got to learn different things and network with different people.

I loved it! I'm so sad theres not been one this year though, but take a look at some examples of work we did.

Loved this lighting, it was amazing so I was busting pose after pose after pose

Loved this! The feather thing is gorgeous, I didnt wanna take it off lol

I saw this prop and my eyes fixated on it, I loved it so it had to be used!

We coated my lips with sugar, it is quite difficult to see in this picture as it didnt work as well as expected.

But it looks awesome anyways!

This was another gorgeous dress I got to use as well.

It was quite interesting so I had to be shot in it <3

This is an unedited photo

Here I am wearing a Latex Collar by Am Statix Latex.

I used this with lots of different dagers, knives and swords.

I love doing dark photo shoots as I have quite a good look for fierceness.

This was a very natural shot, very minimal make-up

Hope you've enjoyed it :)

Colour of My Life

Back in 2010 last year, I worked with an amazing Photographer called Tina Eisen.

She stopped photographing half way through the year last year which was really sad but me and Tina worked with Hannah Lovett who is an amazing Make-up Artist. She has never been to college to study it and she is just naturally talented!! 

We used to be a little team making amazing photo's all the time! It was so fun and exciting working with Tina  and Hannah. Here are some pictures which we called ' Colour of My Life'

We gave myself super huge eyebrows as I wanted to try a different look.

We also made my skin look really pale and played around with paints on my face.

For some reason I really wanted to try something with wire and we couldnt find the wire I really wanted.

But it worked any ways :)

Pin-Up Shoot

Hey everyone, hope your well!

Yesterday after work I did a quick Test Shoot with Antonella who is also a Petite Model/Photographer!

It was great working with her as she was quirky and bubbly which really fitted into my personality.

Adam Jones also come along to help assist with the lighting as we was test shooting in her house.

I've never done Pin-up before so it was a really big challenge for me as I'm not tall and I'm not skinny either.

However we did 3 outfit changes in the space of an hour and also fitted in hair and make-up too which was pretty damn awesome if I do say so myself.

Thanks to Antonella she did my awesome hair which you will soon see and also my make-up.

What I found really difficult with the shoot was 'fake' smiling, I am awful as it is at Pin-Up but Fake Smiling and doing all of those shocked :O facial expressions was a real struggle.

It's because I find I have quite a fierce look but can do suttle, sad ect...

Anyways it was a great learning curve for me and I had a great experience picking up moves from Antonella as she is awesome at Pin Up.

It was hilarious whilst choosing outfits as the last dress I wore which was Antonella's was sooooo tight on my boobs they were actually squashed. But they look massive in the dress which was a bit of a bonus lol.

Here are some piccies of what my Make-up looked like;

 i LOVE these eyebrows so damn much!

I'm actually going to the shop after work to purchase one :D.



And here is one inspirational lady <3

A real woman and a real model, showing natural curves!

Love & Peace

Flying

If you have visited Milton Keynes and havn't done the flying experience, you need to!

It's fantastic and really fun and totally recommend it, I was petrified at first because of the sheer volume of air which blows in your face lol.

I went with work friends and it was so embarasing having work friends and outsiders watching you do it.

Now next stage is to do the real thing ;)

Heres my pic of me flying!

My flabby cheeks flabbing away haha.

Buttercups

Wow is anyone living in the UK at the moment totally baffled with our weather?

One minute its chucking it down with rain and the next minute its scorching hot!

Weird old England, what I'd do to live in a country like Jamacia!

Tonight I've got a pin up shoot, not really done pin up before as its not really appealed to me so I'm interested to see how it is going to go. It's not my kind of thing pulling all these weird faces like the shocked face and stuff as I just can't do it lol. 

I am looking forward to my shoot coming up next weekend with Titus Powell!

Me and Titus have worked together a lot in 2010 and he is just a fantastic photographer and I feel privaledged that we are working together this year. I want to make sure that this year I'm 100% better than last year :).

Unfortuently my beach shoot got cancelled in Broadstairs, due to the shit weather conditions in England.

So I am looking for someone to work with at a beach shoot as I still defiantly want to do one! I have way too many ideas to let the idea slip.

**Guna do a casting on Model Mayhem, do get in touch if your interested**

Some funny and random photo's...

Some lush artwork I come across a few years back which I still love.

I used to study Graphic Design at college and it was amazing... I miss it so much!

And another one

I just love the way they were illustrated and designed :) so prettyful!

Also here is a design I come up with ages ago at college, we used to have to do briefs for the new college planner.

Front

And back

Pretty simple..  I know but sometimes I quite like the simple look.

Angelina Jolie is amazing!

Love her films and love her charity work!

And also for having a huge multi-cultural family which she calls a 'rainbow'

Cherish your loved ones <3

Daisy Chains...

Good evening!

I have been so excited for this weekend to come and its already ended. 

Why oh why must weekends be over so quickly :(?

I've been searching through sales finding some amazing buys which are going to come in really handy on shoots.

Tonight I have been planning and drawing out outfits and stuff for an upcoming shoot eek.

I always find I go a bit wild and go to a shoot with 10 ideas rather than 1 lol, I just cant help myself my brain is just flowing with creativity and ideas all the time.

So anyway's I got some nice dresses and one which would make an amazing fashion shot, I have an idea in mind using a fan so it blows the dress. I also bought this gorgeous flowing top and another flowing flowery top. But the excitement didn't end there... I found some of my sisters hair extensions today (with clips whoo) so I'm stealing them so I can make some big gorgeous scruffy plaits. 

Here's a quick preview of me playing with them earlier.

I've got so many ideas and styling changes in mind that I'm having to draw and write them out so I can remember :P.

My friend has lent me her black leotard which is lush and in the middle it is see through which I thought would come in for a more sexy shot. I'm thinking... darkish lighting, like moody. I also bought a cool metal clock guitar from a car boot sale for a bargin of £1! Which I think would look so so cool in a photo.

I did a car boot sale today and also took some money to go wondering for treasures myself... and voila!

I bought a vintage 3 way mirror, vintage lampshade, 2 lush cushions with lace and roses on and also 2 pretty flower photo frames.

Have a happy Sunday
