Lucy

I have my camera back! It's very exciting, except I have far too much university work to do to actually put it to good use, not to mention my new job taking up what time I do have. I did, however, have a shoot with Lucy a couple of weeks ago in Hyde Park, which was very nice, even if Lucy did get incredibly lost!







Oh & I have red hair now (& a shockingly messy bedroom). That really is about all I have to say.

Big Bows

Yesterday I had a shoot with Aleks & make-up artist Dora. This has been planned for quite a while, however, it looked like it would be cancelled again due to my camera still being broken (& my insurance company being less than impressive - they promise three days until some progress will be made, it's been over two weeks). Luckily, Aleks lent me her camera, which is not too dissimilar to mine, so not too much confusion & I could still use my lenses. I do think I made a bit of a mistake in using my new lens, which got delivered after my camera broke, as the focusing in a lot of the shots is a bit off. Or perhaps I'm just incompetent? From online reviews though, that does seem to be a common complaint for this particular lens.





Those bows were both a nightmare to make (as they looked far too small when away from my head so I thought they needed to be much bigger) & a real effort for Dora to reattach to Aleks' hair every fifteen minutes. Still, pretty happy with the results.

Escalator Collision

So, in a rush to make my train, I fell up an escalator & did this:



Ugh.

Anyway, I did a test shoot with Isabel in Hyde Park last week, it was very nice, though, I dislike being hot & covered in sticky sun screen (lovely Irish skin that I have...). Might be the last photos to come from my camera in a while.
