A series of Christmas Wish pictures. This one was Emma’s idea and involved her sitting in a bath whilst we threw polystyrene balls over her in order to create fake snow. The challenge was getting the polystyrene balls off of her false-eyelashes for each take.

This is one of the images from my first shoot with Robert Miller. I’d seen the wig whilst choosing costumes for a “pin-up” inspired shoot at Annies, which used to be in the same building as Snap Studios. I kept the eyes neutral toned, and sculpted them with texture, applied some individual false lashes (I find the individual lashes look more natural as they lack the “spine” visible with a full false lash) to bring out the shape of the eyes and then matched the lipstick to the wig with MAC’s Amplified Lipstick “Girl About Town“.

Make-Up Ingredients: MAC creme liner in Cranapple, MAC Amplified Lipstick “Girl About Town“, MAC lipglass (clear)MAC eyeshadow: “Shroom“, “All That Glitters“, “Cork” and “Embark“, Prolong Lash Mascara.

This is one of my favourite portraits. It’s from my first shoot with Robert Miller, where I was doing the make-up and modeling with a variety of costumes and wigs for a “pin-up” style shoot. This photograph is in fact a crop of a photograph of me relaxed and momentarily unaware of the camera, walking across the studio to fetch a new hairdo, my hair was disheveled from the violent way I’d pulled off the last wig.
