Little Red
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Alternative, Lady Kaye, London, Modeling, Test Shoots on February 6, 2012
As many of you know I was fortunate enough to work with Rick Nunn for a couple of days in 2011. After shooting “White in the Woods” we got onto something creative and attempted “Little Red.” Rick burgled his parent’s house for the basket, rented the cape from a local fancy dress shop, and I put together the rest with a little help from my theatrical wardrobe.
Rick shot the first three digitally – and the rest on expired film which is what caused the unusual colour tones and grain on the later images.
The first image above is my favorite – which is yours?
So those were the digital… but Rick also shot this on FILM with his Canon 1V-hs with the Canon EF 135mm F/2.0 L on expired Fuji X-tra ISO400 (which is where these amazing tones come from).

As I mentioned in my “Streetcat” jeans and vest post, my modeling agency are keen for me to get a few more photos looking innocent and not wearing much makeup.
Rick Nunn (of the internet) shot these photos for me in Lincoln Forest. I got bitten a countless number of times by midges or mozzies or whatever lives out there, but the images were worth it.
My Agency also really like this headshot Rick took of me. Its a strange angle, but its nice and fresh.
- You can see this photo (and some of the others) much much bigger on Rick’s Flickr.
- You can also check out Rick’s website here and you can like his facebook page here.
- I have a facebook page too… these images were up there months ago. Like it here.

A streetcat named Sam.
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Fashion, Lady Kaye, Modeling, Test Shoots on January 17, 2012
In early 2011 Full Circle Model and Celebrity management put me on their books and made me a basic portfolio out of images I had collected from artistic projects with photographers over the years.
Beautiful as underwater and artistically driven images are, and as much as lingerie shows off the female form, my agency felt clients would feel more comfortable with the sexy and creative being diluted a little with some “digestible” and “normal” lifestyle images.
“Girl in jeans in street, girl hailing cab, lady being domestic with cookies or something” were the words my booker left me with to guide the direction of the test shoots I was likely to encounter whilst abroad.
These shots Rick took of me in the street, with unbrushed hair, minimal makeup and the very simple wardrobe of jeans and a vest turned out exceptionally well and my agency love them. *insert… [ Read more ]
Nom Nom November
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events on December 15, 2011
I feel like I inhaled November, like it played a trick on me, tapping me on the shoulder only to run away when I turned around.
November took me from England to Cape Town, reunited me with old friends, showed me a taller version of my baby sister, marked the date two of my favourite people got married and challenged me in a myriad of ways – showing me vulnerabilities I had almost convinced myself I no longer posessed.
I meant to blog… I had so much to say… but when one is still in the midst of unpacking, living out of bags and wandering from open window to open window a la stray cat it can be difficult to find the time to venture out in search of the internet.
You heard me correctly. Aside from the 3G… [ Read more ]
Weekend in Onesies.
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Weekend in Pictures on October 18, 2011
This weekend was one of altered plans - almost every plan I made changed last minute – but I honestly feel that being spontaneous and free is good for the soul… and I can only be grateful for what turned out to be a wonderful and giggle-full weekend.
Friday morning, post cheese and wine feasting, I watched the sunrise from the que outside the Apple store in Brighton. I was dreading the whole process, but – eager to buy my new iPhone4S after grieving my 2nd iPhone4 for the last 2 weeks – I went forward with a smile on my face and ended up giggling my way through the que with my new friend before entering the store around 9am and buying my beloved apple of joy.
A huge thank you to Josh from the Apple Store in Brighton, and to my new friend @asguardclone – and everyone else… [ Read more ]
FHM’s 89th Sexiest Woman in the World
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in 2011 Events, Competitions, Editorial, Lady Kaye, Lingerie, London, Modeling, Personal, Test Shoots on October 6, 2011
FHM South Africa came out with their 100 sexiest women in the world list earlier this year…. and much to my shock and disbelief I was on it!!
Thank you to Rio for bringing me a copy of the magazine, all the way from South Africa so that I could scan in the above photograph as well as the whole page:
Yep – I beat Ke$ha, Selena Gomez, Britney (99 – she barely made it this year), Kim Kardashian, Eva Longaria and a coupe of people I’ve never heard of. I had never entered a beauty pageant before or any sort of competition like this – but thanks to a series of online votes from the interwebs at large I was honoured with an official sexy stamp which I find puzzling, amazing, delightful and with a history of childhood bullying and low self esteem, a tad bizarre.
Thanks… [ Read more ]

Gothic Playtime
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Alternative, Beauty, Modeling, Test Shoots on October 5, 2010
A few weeks ago I found myself in Robert Miller‘s studio for an afternoon of “play.” Rob and I hoped to tackle the challenge of gothic/vampire pale – something which is extremely difficult for photographers and make-up artists to get right.
Despite the difficulty of the task, I feel that Rob and I nailed it and produced one of the better examples of gothic glam.
I used Kryolan water-based white face paint on my skin, applying it first in thick sweeping motions with MAC’s #187 brush, and then smoothing it over smaller areas with the #249 brush and buffing it into delicate skin such as around the eyes with the #227 brush. The amazing shiny lip was produced by using Hourglass “Extreme Sheen” in “Siren.” Hourglass is an amazing brand that I discovered whilst in Los Angeles last December – seek out the hourglass mascara for great definition… [ Read more ]
Postcards from the Past
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Fashion, Modeling, Swimwear, Vintage on September 15, 2010
On Saturday morning I climbed in front of the camera to model some swimwear and pretty dresses for Beatnik Bazaar.
Having “Saturday” as our call time, I let the morning tea and bed vibes last a little longer than usual, rolled my hair into pin curls, threw on a vintage inspired dress and then set off to Boulders Beach (doing my make-up in the car.)
I arrived, was presented with coffee (just the way I like it) and immediately transformed into a flirtatious stereotype.
How could I help myself? The 50′s is an era that epitomizes girly prettiness for prettiness’s sake. An era where curves and individuality (so long as you were white and good looking) was celebrated in the fashion scene…. the time before heroine chic and twiggy, when cooking was nearly as sexy as suspenders and where models look like they’re… [ Read more ]
