Jessica Louise

 

 I first worked with Jessica over 2 years ago, and then again a few months later. Even then I was impressed by her enthusiasm and posing, not to mention what a nice person she is!

In front of the camera she channels a gorgeous, fierce woman, but as soon as the lens points away she is all smiles. This is such an incredible skill for a model to have - personally I'm just as inspired by a personality as looks. Nobody likes a diva and Jess definitely isn't one!

We finally shot together again a few weeks ago, when she also told me what she had been up to...

 Skip to 1.56 and you will see the first glimpse of Jess on Britain's Next Top Model! I won't spoil the 'ending' but she did pretty well and I am beyond proud of her! 

We shot 3 looks; here is the first, inspired by Josephine Baker, Anna May Wong and Orientalism.


Missy Macabre : Dark Nouveau

  

A few days ago I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favourite performers, the Queen of Carny, Missy Macabre. 

I absolutely adore not only her performances (bathing in broken glass, eating fire and lounging on nail beds seem to come naturally) but her unmistakable sideshow style. For our shoot we decided to go with a darker art nouveau style as well as a Alphonse Mucha inspired set (which I will be posting at a latter date). Missy styled herself, and even made the collar!
