90's Inspired Shoot

Today I got back into the swing of things and had a couple of hours in the studio with my dream team, Emily & Emma :)
We photographed some dresses that a fashion design student has made for her course and then after we were inspired by 'Kate Moss 1990's' and here are some of the results.....

Model: Emma Phipps
Make Up Artist: Emily Cutts
Photographer: Dannielle Hunt 

More photographs will be coming soon :-)

Just need some extra time to edit them <3

Vintage Photoshoot

For one of my university projects, I have to recreate a vintage smoking advertisement. I choose to re-create a vintage smoking ad from the 1940's/50's.

I managed to get access into the STEAM museum in Swindon & use the vintage Buffet Car as the location.
I'm really pleased with the photographs & am SO SO excited for my retro pin up photo shoot next Saturday, so watch this space for those photographs :-)

Megan Razey is the glamourous model featured in this photos, she is a photographer too. Check out her blog - www.meganrazeyphotography.blogspot.co.uk  :-)

PS..
It's 9 days until New York, New York :) aaahhh!!

Calling all book worms

For Christmas this year, I received a few photography books as presents & I'm so excited to have some time to sit down and read them.
I haven't had chance to read any of them yet so this isn't a review blog post or anything like that, it's just a post to tell you which ones I'm excited about :-)

Tim Walker - Storyteller

The first book I got was Tim Walker's Storyteller. I absolutely love this book!! I went to see the exhibition whilst studying my A levels and it was amazing. I find it so inspiring to flick through and get some ideas for future shoots of my own. It's such a heavy book but worth it for all the amazing imagery inside! The main intentions for the book were to recreate fairytales and children's tales in the fashion world. It is incredible & a must read for every budding photographer out there!!

Lonely Planet's Best Ever Photography Tips 

This is my favourite just because of the amazing front cover that looks like a camera!! This book is all about techniques and tips to help you when photography mainly location & travel pictures. This is something I am really interested in as a hobby and I haven't had as much time as I would like to flick through it yet but it looks really interesting. There are also some fantastic photographs in there too! Anyone who is looking to travel or take some travel images even when just on holiday then I would recommend this. :) 

Unseen Vogue - The Secret History of Fashion Photography

I can't wait to start reading this book! The photographs in there are so amazing & have given me some amazing ideas for my own future shoots. It's really interesting to see some examples of photographs that never made it into Vogue because of the composition or exposure, & it proves just how tough the fashion industry really is. Really interesting and a must read for anyone who loves fashion or portrait photography. 

Thats all for now, I will review these books and write a blog post when I have read them all.

Check them out on Amazon if you are interested in buying a copy :) www.amazon.co.uk

Wishing everyone a happy new year :)
