Civil Rights Movement Guardian Weekend and TIME Magazine Spread





This project portrays the rights of African-American citizens. It is based on the many
protests defending the colour of their skin, to give everyone the right to have a say and vote
especially in America. Martin Luther King Jr the leader of this movement before his
assassination (Civil Rights Movement 1950-1965) that happened in 1968 helped defend
these equal rights. 

Editorial - TIME Magazine
Cover – Guardian Magazine
The Editorial images includes the model wearing handcuffs to show the vulnerability and
the flag shows the liberal side to prove everyone has a right to live and be protected in
America (and this whole world of course) and race should not matter, everyone matters. I
choose delicate and elegant expressions for the model to show she neither happy or sad to
give a story that she content she has fought for her rights and she will continue fighting so
you can arrest her all you want. For the 4 images I kept it quite plain by deciding on a simple
black dress. The focus was set more on the props and her stance was strongly grounded.

Moschino handbag advertisment




This shoot I situated in Southampton Park, which means nothing really because southampton has about 5 parks but anyway this is one of them. Make-up is natural based glow and jewels were added by make-up artist to give off an edge as Moschino campaigns are never boring with crazy colours. This vibrant yellow coat is light and brilliant for this sunny day, £59 from Zara. The jeans our TopShop's finest. The bag of course is the main subject in this shoot, Moschino designer, it is the item I am advertising, a great bag for Coffee stops or even days of shopping, it pretty much goes with anything!  

Model: Daisy Frost

Camel shoot


Final picture from my camel shoot. I edited toast earrings on the model, god knows why but it was a perfect idea at the time because of my crazy mind. These aren't clothes I would usually style on myself but the model suited the clothing displayed. The colour camel is one of my favourites at the minute along with burgundy also camel coats are so in right now grab one before it gets warmer! 


L'Oreal Advert


This is Maddie Newell on the left, a good friend of mine. My advertisement is for L'Oreal advertising their hairspray to prove that it has got strong hold that everyone needs. The hairstyle presented on the right is from Thom Browne’s fashion show in New York fashion week which brought me to my idea for my shoot. Thom Browne let his models loose on the catwalk with this amazing coned braided hairstyle that we have seen similar before. His inspiration can come from a lot of things, if you look at Pippi Longstocking and also, an illustration by Natalie hall who did the general Capricorn horoscope, which gave me the idea to name my look "Capricorn Chic". For the perfect portrait, Thom framed the ram-like hairstyle with topless boater hats by master milliner Stephen Jones. Jimmy Paul the hairstylist for Thom Browne who created the gothic spires, he explains “The set is a playground or schoolhouse upside-down on the ceiling” this illusion reminds us all from our childhood dangling from the monkey bars and I bet it sure gave the audience a smile for great times.

GLAM GEEK


Magazine spread which I imagine to appear in vogue (dream on Gillian). My model Angela Gibb worked wonders with her dread-locked hair and suited the Geek look down to a T. It was proven at Jean Paul Gautier’s show for his A/W 2012 collection that roots were high fashion. The CafĂ© chosen for the shoot had the vintage look that was needed but something that could have been changed was the fact that the amount of mirrors effected the flash of the camera. Although it was not impossible to angle the camera to make no reflection, just made more difficult, I love a challenge though.
