Initial conceptual styling, no equipment.

To the woods, to the woods!

Us girls needed some fresh air today, so made the most out of the 436 acre forest behind out flat and went out for a walk. It was pleasent, climbed some trees and looked at all the wild fungi. Just took some pictures from my phone.

Wimbledon Bootsale.

Couple weeks back went to Wimbledon Bootsale and got some proper cool stuff. I really have a thing for old packaging and vintage kitsch objects so when I found really old Lux laundry soap still in it's 1970s packaging and 'Little Forks' from the 1950s, I had a field day. Also bought a sheep skin coat that is too big, and not in a good way so will put on ebay.

a 'D' was last used in the 1970s and was the equivilant to todays penny.

miniture versions of things are the way to my heart.

love a good owl ornament...

not sure on artist, or date but an original from Canada and was from a collection of other paintings of other ladies, felt bad not buying the red head.

Initial Styling Ideas.(As in really, really initial.)

We just gathered together the kinds of fabrics we wanted to use, and muckily put them together so that we could get a rough idea on what we want. With the combination of shine, texture, block colour and see through layers, in made we wanted something a little untastful and seedy. No lighting, decent equipment used.

Luminosity.

Guy Stephens -suomi suburb.

Use of lighting in this collection of photos by Guy Stephens is superb! Creates an eerie and cold atmospheric take on your normal picture-esque surburban scene. All images sourced from his site, check out his work here.

Branislav Kropilak.

Got showed this photographer's work today, great inspiration for our concept. Big dramatic urban spaces that have a gripping pull to the eye, geometrical and symetrical lines are the sort of places we want to shoot. All images sourced from the website, check out more work from Kropilak here.
