Jon Shard

Today I was helping out with a photo shoot with Jon Shard, for Umbro. I had a great day, it was quite fun, even though there wasn't a great deal to help with! The images aren't going to be published in a public way, they are just for internal Nike/Umbro websites or something... Lol.

Anyway, because I took photos, I thought I'd share them!

Photoshoot

Ok, so today we did a photoshoot at Rafael Parker's place, and it went brilliantly! I'm waiting on the actual photos, which may be a few weeks, but here are some back stage shots for a sneaky peak!!

It sounds brilliant so far! I'm helping out backstage, not sure what with yet so I will keep you updated, but if your a model, a fashionista or just someone who likes Vintage, why not tage along!

Pink - Just Like a Pill

Now I know this song was released in 2002, a whole 8 years ago, but even now this song still really touches me and I can still belt my lungs out to it!

Unfortunately, Pink for me after this song... kind of lost herself. She "prides" herself on being the punk rock princess of pop, but as a true rock fan, I don't accept her as a punk!! Although some of her more recent songs are ...OK... They're not for me.

Sorry Pink, but you lost me.

Think I'll always love this song though.

Here's the video if you've forgotten!

Wedding Dilema!

Ok so an old friend of mine is getting married very soon, and as a change, they decided to have a fancy dress do at the end of the night! Which is a great idea! Sounds like its going to be really fun.... But what the hell do we go as?!

Our first thought was Mario and Peach... but searching the internet I can find a million Mario outfits, and a million princess outfits, but no Peach! So that's out of the window... I've looked at the Munsters, the Adams family, Popeye and Olive Oyle, Fred and Wilma Flinstone and quite a few more... But all of these ideas are a bit.... meh... boring?

If we want to win the best costume competition this wont cut it!

Any ideas??

Plus, I also need to find the perfect dress for the wedding itself, and one for the hen do!! Where can I look? Baring in mind the dress must be pretty cheap! Because I'm skint as!!

At Last!

Univeristy has now finished for the year, and I'm back in Ellesmere Port, chilling out for a few days.

Don't think this is it for the year though!

I've got lots of events and photoshoots coming up, and I promise I will keep you updated!

From graduate collections to local designers, and professional photographers to Vintage fashion shows!

Anything and everything to do with fashion and photography!

Also, as part of my summer project, I have to document my summer through photography, so I will share some of the classical moments with you all!

For now, Enjoy your bank holiday everyone!

Helen Kirkbright

During my work experience I also had the chance to work with a wonderful young photographer, Helen Kirkbright who was shooting some more portraits for the Manchester City Council. Unfortunately it was for one day only, but I really enjoyed it!
