Silence is the most powerful scream

          

                         

These photographs aren't the finished versions but I wanted to share with you some raw photographs as I'm not sure that I've done that yet. These I took for my final project in my first year of university, time flies and I can't believe I will be starting my second year in a little over two months! These were for a mock up of a Marc Jacobs watch advert. I ended up using the bottom right picture as my final and I don't think I should have but never mind, I passed my first year!

You and me and the cat

Thought I'd share some of my latest work. 

The editorial is titled LO-LEE-TA. I wanted to portray the idea of the thin line between childhood and adulthood. A little bit of fun and carelessness mixed with a pinch of seduction and risk. 

From top to bottom:

Wildfox Couture body, River Island dress, Urban Outfitters top with Boohoo skirt, Zara bag and Topshop flatform shoes, Jacket from Topshop Boutique with shoes as before, River Island playsuit and blazer (just seen), Jack Wills sunglasses, ASOS necklace and top and Topshop skirt. 

I'm not a machine, I'm a woman

I did another shoot in the Easter holidays, I wanted something casual that showed the state of a lot of girls in Britain, not everything has to be high fashion. 

I don't want to hear you tell yourself that these feelings are in the past

I photographed a very pretty friend of mine in the Eater holidays. I wanted them to be pretty natural and keep them to who she is as the photographs were for her so she wasn't playing a character as such although she is very good at it.

If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby?

I just wanted to show you my latest work. Mostly, to inspire me to really go out and take pictures,  my university degree won't just appear out of thin air! 

My face isn't very Chanel

Hello! I'm not dead and I'm finally living in London. Everything has been busy and stressful for me and I don't feel like an average student but then, I'm never average. So for the past month and a half I have:

Shown Ben the wonders of London and my favourite spots and markets. Shopped... a lot!. Started university. Photographed some models. Met some new people. Cried and laughed. Decorated out little studio flat. Had a picnic in Greenwich park. Watched endless amounts of movies. Went for a nice 'posh' meal. Celebrated my birthday. Went to a comedy club drunk. Travelled on the tube far too much. Joined the gym and doctors. Purchased an ipone 5. Discovered great new shops. Applied to a lot of jobs. Went to the Picture house cinema. Met Leith Clark my favourite styles. Saw Kate Moss and cooked and ate a lot!

 We made this in class as a styling work shop we had to renew a plain shirt

Light painting 

These are the first photographs I have taken that count 

 I live in the same place as the most famous boat 

Ben being Ben. 

It all comes down to this

Yellow dress from Topshop, necklace from Accessorize and heels from Miss Selfridge.

So this was going to be an amazing post with millions of photos of all my new items of clothing (I didn't realise I had got myself so much since my last post... re-thinking my priorities!) but I left my camera at the boyfriend's, so you get a list instead.

Anyways..... I finished college (I'm getting my results in around 38 days... I already know I got a C in art) I went to a wedding, I went to see the new Spider Man (must see), I booked tickets for both Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj (ekkk), went shopping a lot, dyed my hair, I got drunk, went to prom and planed a shopping trip to buy things for the flat.

I'll tell your boyfriend you said hi

Here's a recent shoot and it's probably one of my favourite ones ever. I believe I'm improving and finding who I want to be as a 'photographer'. Pictures of new buys soon, promise! For now, I need to cuddle with Ben and fall asleep as I have work and a VERY busy week ahead of me.

Why can't we start old and get younger?

Photo shoot from just over a week ago.
So I haven't posted much but I have nothing to post about. I've done my photography exam, I'm in the middle of my art one and then I only have Spanish left! I've brought myself some new things which I'll share soon, I have an interview at Jack Wills next Monday so hopefully I'll have a new job and Ben and I celebrated our first year together this past weekend by going to a little town and going around all the charity shops.

I need you now. I need your touch and your lips, I need that smile and your kiss

One more cheeky post. I thought I had already poseted the photo shoot with Tom but I haven't by the looks of things, so here it is:
