The best laid plans of mice and (wo)men…right? I had this idea for a vintage boudoir shoot ages ago. I fell in love with the backdrop and ordered it months ago, with the promise of setting up a date when it finally arrived. Well then the whole world lockdown happened and again this shoot was…

I was recently joined in the studio with not one but three muses. Jess, of course, but also another newcomer to the studio Anjel and Gabby. Jess met Anjel at a Vintage Car/Hot Rod show she was working at and thought we could make something very cool together, I had an idea for something and…

This post has been a little while coming…a bit like the piece itself. We made so many of the props and costume for this shoot. I purchased the vivid green hair and short sword, but pretty much everything else we made. I wanted to capture a mythical and mystical Medusa but had no clear vision…
