About twice a year I get to work for Katy of  What Katy Did Next.   I always get excited when she sends me a message to ask if I am available for a photo shoot for her latest collections. Katy has an amazing talent of creating some fabulous creations in headpieces as well as necklaces (which I have many in leather pieces) to the full length church veils. The latest collection “The New Botanical” is a mixture of using textures of rose gold and bronze. To compliment her beautiful collection I wanted to create a look that would suit both models on a similar aspect. Some of the looks...

As quoted by founder of Lipstick Queen - Poppy King   “ Lets go back in history to medieval...

The course in France is held over 3 days for photographers who want the chance to learn some new techniques in the photography world. This had a fashion led element to it with some...
