Geneva Lane

At the beginning of this year I was in contact with 2010 Xfactor finalist Geneva Lane. (Was the forth member of Belle Amie on the show)
She'd recently left the group and started working on a solo career when we were in discussions of doing a photo shoot which was scheduled and shot in April working with mua Lucy.

On the first location we moved in to a new home, a little hut made of branches and sticks and joked that to passers by it probably looked as if she'd been attacked by a duck as we were shooting by a lake and she had feathers pinned in her hair.
I have behind the scenes footage which i'm sure will eventually make it's way onto my youtube channel.

Geneva has just released her first single 'Karma' which is currently #8 on the urban club chart and you can listen to by clicking the song title.

I can't release any photos yet but here's some behind the scenes shots for now.

I'm terrible at blogging

I first want to briefly mention my friends horse in this blog post who sadly died a few days ago. She was a lovely pony and will be missed.

I need to work on keeping my blog updated this year, it's not something i've mastered yet!
I've just come back from spending a week in Brighton for photo shoots and i've decided that I very much like it there. I'd only ever day tripped before and having spent a week to experience day life, nightlife, work life, I can conclusively state it's a lot of fun! Also (as expected) it's a very creative town so I had a lot of fun exploring The Lanes with my stylist sourcing new vintage boutiques and visiting photo galleries.

I did two shoots with make up Artist Lydia Pankhurst and stylist Vicky Smith on the first day, one of which was a night shoot. I have to be honest, shooting in a field in the pitch black was fairly terrifying! Especially when a car slowed down as it drove past then parked at the entrance to the field we were shooting in and would not leave for a lengthy amount of time but we got some great shots and the model who we called upon last minute was fabulous :D We also learnt that she actually lived just a few doors down from Vicky, small world!
