Photoshoot: Graphic Pre-Raphaelite Fashion

 

Hello Readers,

Today I'll be showing you a few images from a recent Gothic Pre-Raphaelite inspired photoshoot I did last week. If you've ever seen any Pre-Raphaelite paintings you'll know that they mostly feature beautiful girls with big flowing locks of wavy auburn hair. During my time at college I was given a assignment which involved re-creating Pre-Raphaelite paintings and I didn't enjoy it at all. I hated having to copy pictures and thought it was really cheesy and uninspiring. However I decided I would come back and face this challenge and do a shoot inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite style. I feel really happy with the outcome of this shoot and I'm glad I was able to redeem myself a bit with this theme.

Model: Daniella Myrick
Hair Dresser / Shoot Assistant: Trixie White
Photographer / MUA/ Styling: Myself

Location: Kirby Hall

 

 

 

That's all for this shoot. I'm still editing them so that's why I haven't included many in this post.
I hope you're all well!

 

 

 



Beauty Photoshoot

 

Hello Readers,

I'd just like to apologize for my absence the last few days. I shouldn't make excuses for why I didn't update my blog so I won't bother making them! If you've been keeping up with my blog for a while you'll know that I love photography and it's my absolute dream to make it as a fashion and beauty photographer. So naturally, I spend quite a bit of time doing photoshoots! It's been a while since my last photoshoot as I've moved up to Nottingham and I don't have any friends on hand to use as models which is quite unfortunate. I recently felt so motivated to start shooting again that I decided to do something I'd never done before... hire a model from an agency!

I'm honestly so happy with the way the images turned out. The model I hired was lovely and was really easy to work with. Below I've included a few images from my shoot which I hope you enjoy looking at. The theme of the shoot was very autumnal, with the main focus being the very autumn appropriate vampy lip.



That's all for this blog post. Let me know what you think of my images, I'd love to hear some feedback!

Hope you're all well.

 

OOTD #17

Hello Readers,

 

 

Today I have an OOTD post for you all. I decided today was the day I was going to style up this beautiful skort I got from Ebay a week or so ago. I featured it in a recent haul so if you're interested in seeing that click here. I decided to keep this outfit quite simple and work with the monochrome theme. I think although this outfit is rather basic, it still looks interesting due to the quirky cut of the skort and the eyecatching geometric style print.

 I also wanted to do this post to show off the fact that I finally got my hair cut. If you've been keeping up with my blog or my twitter, you'd have seen that I've been winging about my hair for a while now. For ages I've been unsure whether or not to keep my side fringe or go back to a full fringe and yesterday I bit the bullet and decided on a full fringe. I also had quite a bit taken off the length as my hair was in such a bad state. I'm really happy with my hair so I hope you like it too!

Outfit:

Leather Jacket with Faux Fur Collar - Topshop
Black Jumper - H&M
Monochrome Skort - Ebay
Tights - Primark
Peter Pan Boots - New Look
Backpack - Primark
Bowler Hat - Amazon

That's all for this post, I hope you're all well.

 

 



OOTD #16

 

Hello Readers,

Today I have an OOTD post for you all. I went out shopping today just to pick up a few essential skincare bits and bobs that I was running low on. I also intended to do a bit of clothes shopping however that was cut short by some torrential rain. Hence why my outfit photos are indoors! I hate having to do them indoors as the lighting is awful and the background isn't very visually appealing however it'll have to do for today I'm afraid



 

Despite the gloomy weather I decided to head out without tights as I was adamant that this outfit looks better without them. Impractical yes but I'm a stubborn person when it comes to admitting that it's finally time to add some more layers on.

Outfit;
Cropped Striped Mesh Top - Topshop
Denim Pinafore with Pleather Straps - Primark
Cut out Boots - Ebay
Black Pleather Back Pack - Primark
Scrunchie - Primark

That's all for this post, I hope you're all well.

Paige.

OOTD #10

 

Hello My Lovelies!

 

I'm here today with an outfit of the day post for you. Surprisingly we are currently in a heat wave here in England, so I'm still pulling out my summer clothes. I've even struggled trying to keep up with this nice weather, it seems I don't have as many summer clothes as I first thought! Despite it being Summer I couldn't help myself but throw on a black bowler hat and a dark vampy lip. The hat is becoming a staple in my wardrobe now as it means I can be really lazy with my hair and embrace my natural waves. Infact, I haven't used heat to style my hair in days, maybe even longer. I just leave it to dry and shove a hat on, job done!

 

Today it is super hot and I've been feeling really lazy so I just threw on this oversized, floaty vest from All Saints. It has a dipped hem at the back and a beautiful faded black Aztec print. It's the perfect sort of vest to wear on a day like this as it's so lightweight and baggy. I bought this on a shopping trip in London 2 years ago so I don't think it's available anymore. However, All Saints stock doesn't change too much from year to year so there's bound to be something similar in store. As this is a top, I paired it with a little pair of light wash denim shorts from Topshop. This protects my modesty (haha) yet creates the illusion that I'm wearing a edgy dress. I slipped on my favourite brown sandals and my staple black bowler hat and that's it!

 

Outfit

Oversized Floaty Vest - All Saints
Denim Cut Off Shorts - Topshop
Brown Sandals - George at Asda
Black Bowler Hat - Amazon

 

That's it for todays post, I hope you enjoyed.

I'm off to try and sunbathe in the garden!

Hope you're all well.

Paige.
