A complex outfit, London

When I saw her, I immediately knew I wanted to shoot her although she is not necessarily the type I would normally go for. I just thought her outfit was so complex with the colour and the jacket and the hat but the best part was the ease with which she wore it. At fashion week you get A LOT of people who dress up because it's fashion week or to attract attention or to get a bit of PR but in most cases those people stand out as being uncomfortable in what they are wearing. In this case, my subject was so confident and comfortable in her own skin, you would think she rolls out of bed looking like this. That's why I wanted to shoot her.

How to wear a winter coat?

So its been FREEZING in London.. snow and everything! And it is always so hard to make a winter outfit look cool. So I thought I'd pull out these "oldies but goodies" from my trip to Moscow last year as evidence  that even a winter coat can be cool... well as cool as they get without becoming impractical.

Random Friday Morning...

This was a bit of an impromptu shoot - Magdalena and I basically grabbed some clothes and went to Hyde Park on a random Friday morning to play with light. I'm obsessed with shooting into the light at the moment but unfortunately rarely get it right... mostly I end up with multiple atrocious lens flares. But what can I say... I sure do enjoy the process :) 

These shots were done a while ago - back in November and I have been holding off posting them as had a grand plan of attending a Photoshop course right after Christmas but as it tends to happen, other things take over and here we are in February and still no Photoshop skills. Other New Year's resolutions include: a cooking course at the Waitrose Cookery school, taking up French classes (yet again), various photography courses, a gym membership and reading lots of books. So far... well I'm planning to sign up at the gym tomorrow :) 

A little on the subject of bags...
