Front Cover for Life in Haslemere Magazine...Christmas has come early...




Woo! I'm delighted to share another front cover for Life in Haslemere Magazine...The Christmas edition too which makes it especially exciting. To find out more visit: http://issuu.com/lifemags/docs/lih37

I especially loved how this shoot came together, helped by a fantastic team who brought ideas to life.... Without such a team such shoots would lack a certain magic. I owe huge thanks in big beautiful bundles to the creative team behind this shoot which required military organisation to fit 5 locations into limited time to evoke the fairytale of Princess Vassilissa and The Firebird.

Fashion designer Ruan Kitchener (now a designer for House of Holland) worked in close collaboration as we meticulously planned the day and styling of outfits using his swoon worthy dresses from his graduation project. We searched high and low for a model who had the perfect fit to emulate the dreamy woodland fairytale and Ruan's collection. We ended our quest after we found Alice M at Sapphires Model Management. She was faultless. 

Then there is a certain magic which I can't put into words but wait for ...sometimes patiently....sometimes it takes a while for it to happen...but boom once captured it forms the soul behind the image. One of my greatest inspirations Sarah Moon translates this searching so eloquently here: 



I'm a believer that real magic exists in photography...let's keep the magic alive... LOVE x
