some inspiration for a shoot monday.

steam punk..dandy..retro futuristic.. and the world of old magic were some of the words mariell has built an amazing project out of.

wee little peak at Laurel & Hardy & Marx Brothers inspired shoot that I've been banging on about! was so fun shooting.. sneaking through to private car parks and climbing roof tops mehe!!

can't wait to scan in the negs when I'm back from Singapore! will probably be 2 weeks or so before the finished editorial is up but for now.. some crappy photoshop filter :].

Mooshki Bespoke.

So.. here are 2 of designs for Mooshki Bespoke bridal. Just to get the ball rolling, test the quality and all that jazz! Looking forward to shooting them when there in and mix it up a little bit!

Thinking one commercial shoot and then a little over the top creativeness is always in need ;].

Decasia.

There has always been something about the imperfect that makes me jump for joy. Maybe being very 'London' or just a passion for the raw textures surfaces of the decaying and eroding world. (yes hence the name of le bloggie ;])

These old fragmented, over exposed and chemically eroding negatives that have been quick cut into a film stream are a perfect example.

Mr Moustache.

Stumbled upon this editorial in Wonderland, SUCH inspiration for my Laurel & Hardy Vs The Marx Brothers shoot!! This is just pure Harpo Marx all over!

I LOVE IT.

Mooshki Bespoke Bridalwear.

GAH! okay its been 10 days im sorry.. to the imaginary people that actually read this :|!

time has flown by and well i've had more important stuff to do than sit being a nerd face :]

So i've been getting ready to face the challenge of brides.. again. This time in the even scarier world of Bespoke. Mooshki (the bespoke shoe company i have mentioned many a time) have now launched a new Bridal section where the bride has the chance to have her dream wedding dress designed and made to her specific taste. In this package she can also go to the next step of having bridesmaids designed. THEN ALSO shoes and bags to match!!!

Can't wait to see what briefs i get!

Fridays are now Mooshki Fridays, as this launches i will be doing some starter designs to get the ball rolling and having a wee little photoshoot ;] as well as testing the quality of the dresses.

Will post up illustrations and what not as time goes by!

& anywho back to indesign...

Sand..

Yes, sand... was given to me as my subject for the Christianity still life!

How much good, bad & ugly can you do with sand huh?!
