Wild At Heart

 Wild At Heart | Photographed by me | Creative Directed & Styled by Chanel

I'm currently writing this an hour before I'm posting it. It's finally my birthday month & I'm so excited for Christmas. I can't believe the year has gone so quick but I can not wait to start a new year with new opportunities and new goals.

I'm currently in second year at uni on my fashion styling & photography course with photography as my chosen specialism and I'm so glad to make it to the end of the first term in one piece because second year is a mission I was not prepared for.

My friend Chanel asked me to collab with her and shoot her uni project editorial and I have to say, even though I say this after most shoots, I'm so happy with the outcome and this is some of my favourite work so far! I love the creative direction behind it based on the 70s and being free, add Highgate Woods to the equation and the 'Wild At Heart' editorial comes to life. She explains the shoot idea more here

I have also added my favourites to my portfolio online so please have a look there too.

Occasionally I Take Shots

Shot by Me | Styling & Model - @taylahelaine | Makeup - @doyinrosemua

Something I haven't done for a while on my blog is share my photography work.
In case you don't know I currently study Fashion Styling & Photography and studied Photography previously at ALevels. It is a extreme love, occasional hate interest of mine. I've wanted to be a fashion photographer for a while now but have been put off by uni projects and lack of motivation. However, my friend contacted me the other day and asked if I wanted to shoot some photos for her styling portfolio. I decided to push myself and go for it, especially as I'm supposed to remaining in touch with my creative side this holidays (which has failed miserably) and I need to update my photography portfolio. I have to say this is probably some of my best work yet and I am very proud of it. My friend styled & modelled it and her friend did the makeup, which she taught herself from watching YouTube!! Then I took the shots, there were so many to edit so I had to choose my favourites. I picked out some for this post but I'm planning to make some form of online portfolio of my work altogether, so watch this space for that.

Hope you like them.

Styling Project - Ms. Monroe

So I've literally just handed in my styling project for term 2 at uni and I never thought it would be so tiring. I used myself as the model and it was quite fun but I think I must have taken over 100 images just to get the perfect 5. We had to choose a style icon to style in five themed contemporary looks; from l-r denim, suit & tailoring, evening, sportswear, own choice. I choose Marilyn Monroe as my icon, I always loved her figure and the way her clothing complimented it. We had to put a contemporary twist on the looks using the icons style elements. I used red lips, white, black and high waisted denim as my style element as well as the mid length dress. The pastel suit is my most favourite, ugh! I found it in Topshop for a hefty price but so worth it!

 

Can't believe I'm nearly onto the last term of the 1st year, time has been flying by!
