Sink

I had to share these photos straight away, barely 5 hours after finishing the shoot. It's always a real treat when images just come out amazing and editing is minimal and fast. Major kudos to Chelsea for driving up to Washington for a rainy afternoon and posing while hiding from picnic-goers. Also, for taking a dip in the freezing river, for which I apologize, but I love every single photo.

After leaving England I've been in weird emotional and creative rut, barely picking up my camera in 5 months. I'm inordinately happy that it feels comfortable in my hands again and I'm proud of my work. Thanks again to Chelsea for making my job so easy, you're a natural.

Long post ahead....

Laetitia

This shoot was a couple of years in the making. Tatiana, the designer of Laetitia, was a schoolmate of mine and we had been discussing me shooting her clothes since she started her lovely brand. Just a couple of weeks after landing in Colombia we were discussing her Spring/Summer 2013 lookbook. Check out Laetitia's website and enjoy the photos below.

Clothes and Stylist: Tatiana Robles
Model: Valentina Salazar

Madonna

One of the things I miss most about England is my collaborations with Ella Ruth. We've decided to keep the tradition going despite being thousands of miles from each other and in different time zones. For our first cross-Atlantic collab we decided on a concept and gave each other the freedom to take it in our own personal directions. Stipulations: shoot is done inside, and it was meant to be a self-portrait. Ella left her remote in Sheffield, so she cheated and used her sister instead. Since it's the first time I'll let is slide. I was inspired by catholic representations of the Madonna, though I'm afraid my glittery head-piece is more Lady Liberty than Renaissance doll. Look out for another collab next month and check out Ella's photos here.

Also, I'm working on my blog's design at the moment so I apologize if my menu isn't working properly.
