"The Birds"

"Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all."

- Emily Dickinson

Inspiration Board for Editorial Shoot and Magazine!

Saturation of the birds of paradise, Alfred Hitchcock, Texture and Escapism.

Freedom, peace, loyalty and bravery, the bird also represents passage between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Shoot up soon :]

Tim Walker

Okay, so as i put up my sketchbook images that were inspired by Tim Walker's i thought i should at least put his up too ... just some quick snaps from my phone of the book in the Marangoni Library, its on my Birthday list!!!

Once Upon a Dream of Decadence ...

Look Book for my shoot 'Once Upon a Dream of Decadence'. A little prettier than Torture right? ;]

Inspired by the AW09 Trend of Decadence headed up by D&G and Roksanda Ilinic. My main inspiration was the beautiful sketchbooks of Tim Walker. I love the raw creativity and simplistic layout, his most imaginary and dreamlike photography was a great starting point for this! ... just wish i could of got my hands on his giant props :[!!

For the final shoot check my portfolio

Torture

My lookbook for the shoot!

Ok Guys! Project inspired by AW09 Trend 'Tough Leather' lead to this... don't do a runner its not as bad as it seems! Choosing to go down a darker route then my normal.. er fluffy self aha. Ok so theme was torture, quite shocking images ay.. definitely not going back to staples to print after they asked if I was mentally stable!! Oh which i am by the way :].

Images that some may think are so vulgar and shocking but everyone see's them differently.. if you can sit through the Saw films then this is like a pussy cat wrapped in cotton wool with a bow on its head!

Final Images you can see on my portfolio:

Nigel Cooke

'Thinking'

'Don't Mess With The Message'

'Ghost On The Happy Trail'

'Mummy'

'The Philosopher'

Probably one of my favorite artists ever! I LOVE Nigel Cookes work, if i ever have a wall big enough (..aaand the money obviously) I would most definitely invest! These are some of my faves although there are alot and in different styles! The vast spaces intrigue me and the way he layers up his work painting over and over previous images and exploring all mediums possible really makes him one of the most talented artists! If your not convinced i added a video for your own viewing pleasure ;]....
