"Gatsby at Midnight" One of my larger scale shoots with a full team. Gatsby is ultimately a tragedy, full of woe. "The glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret". To manifest this portrayal, and pay homage to the story through a bleak and gothic feel, while still putting my signature style on the images was the challenge here. As I come from a film and video background I often call upon that to create a cinematic feel. This requires a slightly different, more vibrant editing style, combined with more purples, blues, aqua and muted greens than I'm normally used to. It was a fresh feel for me, while retaining the darkness and black in my images that I've grown to love. All images were edited exclusively in Lightroom, mainly by manipulating just the colour sliders.

Antique Lace … a thing of beauty 🌹

Remember the days when we wore Victorian nighties, petticoats and bloomers as outer wear and the phrase “It’s snowing in Paris” when your lace shoes beneath your skirt - still love them especially this Thomas Hardy style nightie but with big boots now!

Just message us (we are only 5 minutes away) should you be in the area unannounced and we will always try and accommodate you and may well be working within the shop- intending to add stock to online sites.
Stay cosy
