Earlier shoots

Earlier portrait, movement and garment sessions.

2023 to 2025

Low-key portraits with feather headpieces, sculpted hair and pale make-up. I composited several of them into misty forest and lake scenes in post and graded all five sitters to the same dark, painterly look.

Blonde model with eyes lowered over a bare shoulder, black feathers framing her face and dark lips
Model with a feathered fringe and metallic lips, hands at the hips in an open glossy sleeveless jacket
Close portrait of a model in a sculpted feather wig and high black collar, glancing sideways, grey backdrop
Bare-backed woman with a sculpted wave curl and red lips, head tilted back before a foggy lakeshore
Long-haired model sitting on rippling water in a corded black dress and boots, glancing back through grey mist
Side view of a fair-haired model, fingers spread at her jaw beneath a fanned feather headpiece
A model with silver brow studs and red lips crosses her arms to her throat, looking straight ahead
Crouched in lakeside marsh grass, a model in wet-look black rests a gloved hand against the face
Woman in a sheer ruffled gown with pearls, white feathers in her hair, sits on frosted grass in fog
A black feather wing hides half a model's face beneath a plumed headdress, full moon over snowy pines
Seen from behind, a model in a black camisole and rope-trimmed skirt looks back over her shoulder
Leaning towards a low camera, a model in a strappy black top and sculpted peplum skirt on grey

Dancers and hair in motion against plain studio walls. I used long and multiple exposures so that each frame records a full movement.

A barefoot woman lunges low in sheer ivory layers, one sleeve smeared by motion before a dark wall
Multiple exposure of a male dancer in a wrestling-style singlet, repeated across the frame with circular light trails
A woman with auburn hair spins in a white blouse, arms raised and blurred on pale grey
A blurred figure stands with hands on hips in a puff-sleeved blouse, tulle skirt and metallic shoes
A woman glances down as her ruffled sheer sleeve sweeps out to the left in a soft blur
Hands pressed together before her face, a woman in a voluminous white blouse dissolves into darkness
A woman in black bows forward, long hair veiling her face, one hand lifted against a pale wall
A dancer in a black vest and flared trousers balances on one leg, knee raised, arms flung wide
A woman looks over her bare shoulder, long copper hair spilling down a white lace top, blue-grey backdrop
A kneeling figure in flowing white fabric twists upwards on a dark floor, hair streaking into blackness
Close overlapping exposures of a dancer lunging and twisting in black with garter straps on the thighs

Two garment sessions. The first is a navy jacket trailing long white cords, shot on a dark stage and against a pale studio wall. The second is a set of crochet and knit pieces, shot high-key and low-key in black and white.

A model stands angled left in a ruched navy cropped top, white ropes pooling on the floor
Against a black curtain, a model swings outwards as white cords fly from the gathered navy sleeves
Seen from behind, a model holds arms outstretched, the low-backed navy garment spreading wide with dangling ropes
A model faces forward in a puckered navy top and wide black trousers, white ropes splayed either side
A model's face hidden under a black lattice veil above a chunky knit coat, high-key monochrome
A model in three-quarter profile beneath a headpiece of black padded loops, oatmeal textured knit coat
A figure seen from behind swirls a voluminous navy garment fringed with pale cords in a dark studio
Hands raised to a face tilted upwards inside a tangled net of knotted fibre, lit against black

Portraits on a warm cream backdrop with loose hair, denim and knitwear, lit soft and close.

A woman glances over a bare shoulder, dark tousled fringe and long white feather earrings, warm light
A woman spins in a blur of long hair, worn denim jacket open over a white vest
A man looks down with a strand of shoulder-length hair across his lips, cream knit jumper, warm backdrop

Head bowed, a man leans on a studio wall in an ivory striped jumper and green jeans
