The Throwback

The Throwback: The Jewel of the Swampland

Today’s The Throwback goes all the way back to the summer of 2011 and the first few months of living in London. Back then I lived in north-west London and had the lovely Brent Reservoir just down the road from me.

This shoot here was the first time I consciously chose to do a shoot for the blog that was more editorial than your standard fashion blog. While it had always been something that attracted me, and something I wanted to do, this was the first series of shoots that actually tried to be like a magazine editorial. While a lot of mistakes were made, it was also the first time I started to think of outfits, location and theme in one go. As you can say this shoot began my journey to do something different with my fashion blog.

While the poses are awful, and I’d yet to learn to relax myself while shooting, I am incredibly proud of the final images because of what they aspire to be.

This image is not my favourite of the lot, but since the shot with the swans was already featured, it seemed a worthy alternative as it too is a very strong image.

Eight years in, and still killing this fashion game. Now a mother, wife, professional-by-day and part-time blogger in between, I still love blogging, producing fashion shoots and curating this blog.
My interests lie in producing high editorial-style content, shooting in grand and unique locations, make-up shoots and doing more studio shoots that really push the boundaries.
I'm open to collaborations and ideas, so please message me.
