Roland Mouret AW2013 Trunk Show -Backstage

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of being invited backstage to the Roland Mouret Trunk Show where the select few favourite customers had the opportunity to preview the designer's AW2013 range.... I had a great day and got to do something different. Awesome experience (and amazing clothes, obviously!)

Photoshoot: Zen




An old shoot that I did at Studio 25 as part of their fashion workshops last year and I finally got around to editing it! I am having a "moment" for oriental looking models! They just look so exotic and they have such beautiful skin!

In this shoot: Candice Lam wearing a beautiful piece from a London based designer Sorapol

Do redheads have more fun?


I have been absolutely obsessed with redheads lately (in a good way!). I just find them so mesmerising with all that red hair and the feisty attitude to match (or so one would think/hope). I think my fascination with redheads actually started a while back... at least three years ago is as far as I can trace it. My then flatmate had this young, incredibly thin, gorgeous girlfriend with a massive almost afro-esque head of hair. She used to float in and out of our flat and I would stare at her in ore. I always wondered whether it was just me or whether other people were just as mesmerised by these wonderful creatures. And if that is in fact the case, then surely it is not the blonds who have more fun... surely it must be the redheads! I mean come on, blond is so 1990s...                                      

I dont know whether it's just my luck but every single redhead that I have met seems to possess the most incredibly cynical (and awesome at the same time) sense of humour... or even a whole perspective on life. It is they, who are capable of coming up with statements that make you choke on your drink from being hit by such "unexpectedness".  I am therefore very proud to say that my friendship troops have recently had an addition of a proper feisty and witty redhead (and no, its not Jessica Chastain... she is just there for the sake of having a picture, because a post without a picture is boring... but it so happens that i do not yet have a photo of my new friend :))  

p.s. I ran into Jessica Chastain in the Tuileries during Paris Fashion Week and didnt even realise who she was... just thought I would take a photo of that "pretty girl with red hair". No wonder she had a dude following her around.. guessing her bodyguard.. duh! xx

Photoshoot: Neon Nights













My first ever nude shoot... and I must say: I AM a fashion gal after all! I do miss the clothes! In any case it is always great to try new things and experiment and for this shoot I really wanted to create something dark and sensual. I deliberately did not want her looking at the camera so that I could create an almost voyeuristic feel to this shoot.

My photoshop is 'having a moment' ... so these shots are unfortunately unretouched. But then again I wanted them to look real and I almost think if the model is kind enough to let me shoot her nude then I do not want to photoshop and liquify things out. For me part of the nude photography experience is appreciating the raw beauty of the body as opposed its computerised filter down version. Hope you like! xx
