Bianca Balti by Camilla Akrans

These images are like a big girls dress up. I especially love the 1st and last photographs. The Kimono prints are incredible. I want to re-create beautiful images like this!

These photographs by Mert and Marcus- who i just blogged from the Givenchy fall 2010 campaign are incredible. The colours, the static-ness of the models, the compositions all reallly remind me of the amazing photographer Guy Bourdin, whose work i studied loads for A level photography. I've read some of the reviews people have posted about this shoot, most people feel its quite controversial, but i love it when photographers take risks and i really love the outcome here.

Givenchy are the first major fashion house to reval their new fall 2010 advertising. I love the European feel the images have, and the colours are really striking together.

I have seriously had a lack of blogging recently and i don't really know why!? Our Jonathan Aston project is still going alright, but i actually can't wait for it to be over and for the summer to begin. Check out these amazing tights. A really amaizng pair of tights really do bring something extra to a photoshoot and can almost become the focal part of the image. i love

Pop.

Naomi Campbell by Miguel Reveriego.

I'm loving all the photoshoped images at the moment. Its nice to see something different and edited in a more interesting way. The theme of pop art really shows in this image and Naomi Campbell looks pretty damn amazing as usual.

On the train back to Nottingham today i was planning photoshoots in the summer and have some pretty amazing ideas for styling and on Saturday i visited a photography exhibition in Guildford and got some really interesting ideas for locations.

Our current project on Jonathan Aston is going well so far, despite how awful the brand is. Today we had a lecture by this really cool web designer, and I'd like to say i have learnt a lot today. Lisa and i were researching and oh.my all this new technology that's out there is mind-blowing. You can literally do anything and everything from your laptop, or even phone!? It astounds me. But really it kind of inspires me and i actually cant wait to get back to researching after my noodles and tea.

On Monday we had a lecture by Sally Bain- ex drapers, Sunday times, mintel, verdict, woman and home, well she has worked everywhere. It was on Magazines, Journals, Printed Media as channels of advertising and again i learnt so much! Its crazy how fast the circulation of newspapers (minus the Daily Star..egh) and magazines are declining, and how online is massively, massively increasing.

I don't really know where i sit amongst all this, i literally love having a paper copy of Vogue that i can spend hours holding and looking at little details- even though you can find all my favourite bits- the photo shoots- online for free. It will be really interesting to see what the future holds for printed media..

Hippie Yeah!

Styling: Katie Mossman

Check out the hair in this shoot by Partick Demarchelier, it's incredible. The monotone makes it really stand out and although i don't think this whole hippie trend will suit me this season i think it works really well here. That is possibly the best plait i have ever seen...

As if anyones hair can be that amazing?!

Rum, Sea, Sun and Photos...

I want to go back :(

Viva Moda

The weather recently has been reasonably nice for once, which is making me itch with excitement for the summer. I actually can't wait to get home and do photo shoots. I am full of inspiration and am thinking about locations all the time. I love the location for this viva Moda shoot, but for me, its the lighting that makes these images really stand out.

P.s Happy Birthday Bex Nicholson!

Above: One of the Photos of Bex i took last summer, inspired by D&G A/W 09, i used the same kind of principle as the Viva Moda shoot, using light projected onto the face to create a point of difference. i'm definitely a sucker for lighting!
