I came across these images a while ago when using my tumblr blog, and I blogged about them back in January. When having a quick look back at the old blog, I had to reblog about these interesting pieces! I think they're absolutely adorable! If you can't tell they are birdhouses, and I would love a few in my own garden... when I get my own garden lol!

Sweeney Todd

This piece of work was created alongside a good friend of mine who both feature (I'm the one on the left). The styling in this image was inspired by Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. We took aspects of the clothes (black, red, white and stripes) and makeup (pale skin and red lips) and styled ourselves accordingly. The image was then styled simplistically, inspired by Topshops imagery where the model is against a plain background. I'm not a natural model and much prefer to be behind the camera, you can probably sense this in the photographs. These images aren't recent but it's nice to relive the memories.

Antique Shop

These pictures were taken on black and white film using my SLR camera. They were taken in an antique shop just a few minutes walk from my house. This was a really good shoot and frustrating, I shot the whole thing on a film and then lost all my images because I accidentally opened the camera back before rewinding the film. But I brought a spare film, and did the whole shoot over.

Portrait

This Portrait was taken for a college project a few years ago. The series this was shot for was intended to portray the female body. This image was a moment where I caught the model off guard and laughing, and it is my favourite from the whole shoot. I think it works so well because it is so natural.

So... I'm 21 today!

So... It's my 21st birthday, and I can't actually get my head round it, it feels like only yesterday I was 15!!! I am on top of the world at the moment, everything is going right for me recently (finally) and it's my birthday!!! I've been at the pub, had a few bevies and I am now off to get ready for a night out with my girlies... I have blogged this photographic series before on a different blog of mine which I no longer use, but thought it was appropriate for today and I still love the work! These images were taken by Australian photographer, Vee Speers. She came up with 'The Birthday Party' concept after watching her children and their friends playing at a fancy dress party. The images are wonderfully simplistic. I love the slight desaturation, so sweet yet slightly haunting. I also love the styling of the clothing, they encapsulate the fantasy side of being a child, but it is done in a very fashion forward manner. Hope you enjoy.

Illustration

The original image was inspired by illustrator Laura Lane, I then manipulated this in photoshop to add the fabric.
