Here’s another set of images I shot with Twiglet last year in Spain, I loved this location from the last time I visited my Dad, and really wanted to shoot something dramatic there at sunset. When I went down to visit Louise O’Mahony to browse her creations for shooting in the lavender fields, my eye fell on this dress, and I knew it was the one!  It was so big that I knew it would contrast perfectly with the bare countryside, and the polka dots were the icing on the cake.

Twig and I shot here from sunset to dusk, and it was incredible how the colours changed so fast, and yet the dress complements them all perfectly. We both suffered for our art too – there were a lot of hungry mozzies hanging about, they seemed to find poor Twig far tastier than me and her arms were pretty swollen by the time we went home!

This was one of the looks shot in the lavender fields last year, with clothing from Morua designs. Gerry from Morua kindly came all the way to the fields to style and dress up the models, and Camilla just absolutely rocked this corset, it’s like it was made for her! I wanted the editing here to differ slightly from the previous look, so I gave it a muted vintage feel, but when it came to the sunflowers, I didn’t want to take away from their brightness, I left these very simple, with just a touch of colour tweaks end beauty editing. Hair and makeup was by Victoria Leanne - if you look closely you can see the awesome turquoise cat’s eyes she did on Camilla

You can the first look, featuring clothes from Oh My Honey here.

Back in September I went to visit my Dad who lives in the small village of Turre in Almeria, Spain. Since the landscape is just incredible there, Twig and I decided it would make for some great shooting opportunities that we’d never get in England.

So, armed with a giant case filled with clothing from 3 designers, meticulously packed so it wouldn’t breach Ryanair’s evil charge limit (and vastly lacking in my own clothes to fit all the fabulous outfits in) we headed off.

This was the first location we came across, right at the end of Dad’s street –  a whole garden of cacti called “chumbera” up a small hill. I thought it would be perfect for the first outfit I borrowed, one of Savanna Morrish’s birds of prey swimsuits. Luckily it was heading towards the end of the day which gave me lovely golden afternoon light and allowed me to play with shadows a bit. This was also the first time I gave my new 70-2oomm lens a good go, and I think I’m starting to love it more than my 50mm, the way you can zoom in and out to get nice framing

What you can’t see in these pictures is just how hideously Little Twiglet and I were getting attacked by mosquitoes…

This is the first series to come from our trip, we ended up shooting in a dried up riverbed, inside olive trees, in the pool, in some 500 year old ruins and in front of mountains – watch this space!

Last year I had a whale of a time with a group of other photographers shooting in these lavender fields, and at the end of day there I swore I’d come back in a year’s time to carry on creating.

This year I went back with two beautiful models, Camilla and Michelle, two fabulous designers – oh My Honey and Morua Designs, and talented hair and makeup artist Victoria Leanne. First outfit to be shot was this awesome orange dress which I specifically picked for the field as I knew just how much it would stand out against the purple! Louise at Oh My Honey created this outfit along with several others specially for Brighton fashion week which was held a few weeks prior, so I was really flattered that I was one of the first people to shoot with it

I already had Camilla in mind for this dress, with her dark hair colouring and vintage style, it’s like the dress was made just for her!

This was the first set of several outfits in this field, will post the next look soon
