A night at the bus station

I've got a few of the final shots from my night time shoot back and without tooting my own horn, they look pretty great! Was all down to the great team I got to work with, they're all super talented so check out their work! Here we gooo...

The photographer was Richard Tarr, he lit this whole shoot with torches, some pretty clever stuff so take a look at his other work here! 

The makeup was done by Miss Chanelle Harrald, one of my best friends and a very talented MUA! Follow her on twitter to see everything she gets up to @Makeup_CC

The beautiful model was Miss Kaily O'Brien, someone I think I'm going to be friends with from a long time to come thanks to this shoot! 

The styling was all done by meee, I actually got my bum into gear and set myself out a facebook page and twitter account so please like my page here and follow me at @veejstyle

taddaaa

And here's the final outcomes from my earlier shoot in the New Forest too! 

Although the last few weeks of term were insanely busy with hand ins, I am sooo glad I went ahead and did these shoots anyway as I really enjoyed them and styling is something I definitely want to carry on do as much as I can and work on in the future! If anyone has any tips or advice for me then plleaassee comment :) xxx VJ

Colour Pop!

I actually did this shoot a couple of weeks ago now but I've been so busy with final hand ins at uni that I just haven't had the time to blog at all! Now i'm home for Christmas with a few days to spare before starting back at work so I'm gonna catch up! 

This photo shoot was soooo much fun! The idea behind it was mean girls / clueless style clothes, quite cute and preppy but with an added attitude and LOTTSSS of colour! I got to have a little online spending spree and spent a couple of hundred pounds on a whole bunch of cute little skirts and crop tops. We had a bit of a last minute panic when the models dropped out but at the last minute we went from having no models to three! More than we expected, so I had a bit of a panic thinking I didnt have enough, but after raiding my housemates wardrobes we had more than enough and got some really great shots! We also had a bunch of really cool 90's themed props which were a lot of fun in the photos. So here's some behind the scenes shots and a few of the final outcomes...hope you like them =D

And here's a few of the final photo's below!

Let me know what you think xxx VJ

Clobber

So this time last week me and my house mate / course mate rolled on down to Boscombe to have a day playing in Clobber, a vintage shop full of fantastic little bits and pieces. Our course Tutor had been contacted by the shop owner who asked if any of us Fashion Students would be interested in dressing his windows as he just didn't enjoy doing / didn't really know what he was doing. Obviously there was a fair few of us who jumped at the chance, so every two weeks a few of us are going to go down there to take turns in putting our ideas into the window displays. Me and Robyn (my house mate  hadn't really planned ahead and thought about what we were going to do because we just wanted to get in and have a look about to see what we could come up with. We did originally want to do something a little bit crazy and colourful but after meeting the shop owner ( he's a little bit scary) we decided to stick it safe and just go cute and kitsch for this first time. We decided to try and stick loosely to current trends, bringing in key colours and the ever popular Military style! Although we did play it quite safe I was really happy with the final result and so was the shop owner, although he said next time we should definitely just let loose and just go all out. Already looking forward to next time, watch this space for mine and Robyn's outburst, COMING SOON!

Stylist for the day

Today I travelled down to a quiet little woodland area in the New Forest to style for a Photoshoot for a third year Commercial Photography Student. We have been planning it for quite a while, already having a nice little day of shopping for clothes (even though they weren't for me it was still exciting :( ) Unfortunately the weather wasn't particularly great, so we were walking through what felt like Marshlands for a fair amount of the day, but the mood created by the rain and dark clouds actually worked really well for the shoot! I won't blabber on for ages like I tend to as I think the photographs will pretty much speak for themselves when you see the final results, but here is a few behind the scenes shots to give you a little peak at the outfits I created!
