I haven't been posting much, I'm terribly sorry!
I have been meaning to upload some of my more recent extra work, I have been taking a short break from fashion, so if you want to see some photos I uploaded earlier click here.
The photoset is named 'The Wanderer', which referres to a person who wanders endlessly, quite obvious really but the photoset has a hidden meaning and the way it has been photographed is another contribute to it. I'll leave you to guess.
Got some fabulous shoots in planning so keep an eye out!

// For the love, Iʼd fallen on in the swampy August dawn
To anybody who's been following my new blog, I sincerly apologise! I've had mountains of work from every direction, plus the general business of my life, I've had absolutely no spare time to blog!
Recently I have been coming up with a ton of fine art photographs from my imagination and been really stuck with myself because of the lack of time to actually produce any of them. I found a spare 10 minutes of my day today so I took the oppotunity to photograph one of the many ideas floating up there. I thought I would blog it to show you all and also give a simple explanation of it.
"For the love, Iʼd fallen on in the swampy August dawn."
I don't want to go into too much detail as to what this photo means because its something personal and I want the photo to stir a thought from somebody else instead, but the general meaning behind this is vunerablity and love. The posing and nudity represents vunerability in falling in love and the flowers represent feeling beautiful, soft, and cared for like petals. The quote is lyrics from Bon Iver, chosen for somebody special, they know who they are.
(for all the nerds who want to know - photo was taken on a Nikon D300 - using a 50mm lens at f 1.8 for a softer edge with plenty of DOF. I used only natural light and enhanced/monochrome converted in post production. I also added the flowers in post production.)
I hope you all have a beautiful weekend filled with smiles!
Peace out

// AMCK
Just over a month ago I had the previlage of accompanying fantastic photographer Ryan Bater down to London to photograph with the wonderful dance and male model agency AMCK Models.
The experience was one I defiantly won't forget! Despite not having been to London since I was about 5 years old, we surprisingly didn't get lost hardly at all! It was a really good opportunity for me to experience a taste of every day life in London and what it would be like if I were to go to London Fashion College, which I have been considering for a while now. In the whole three days we managed to visit the Big Ben, Sohos & the Chinatown, Covent Gardens, and even Portobello Market! All lovely experiences that I will take back in memory!
I tested with a selection of new face models and unfortunately had to dive straight back into my work when I arrived home again so I never got to showcase any of the work, but I have recently finished some previews of them, so I thought blog one and if you like that you can view the rest on the link below it! Enjoy!

This shot is actually an out take, but I fell in love with the movement of it.

// midnight thoughts
I do my best thinking at night
I also do my over thinking at night, but it doesn't always become bad thoughts, I just think too much and can never fully rest my head to sleep.
Tonight I got to thinking about how much of a turn every aspect of my life has taken over the past three months, there has been bad turns and good turns, very very good turns, confusing turns and turns that are still turning! I'm not sure I can describe it in a way that won't just be a jumble of floundering words and a really inaccurately structured thought process but I have kind of felt like I've been floating around with the intention of trying out life as I've never experienced it before. I keep conjuring up mental lists of things I want to do, things I want to experience and have recently found myself feeling the need to do them now. For example, I have decided that I really want to go skinny dipping and fly in a hot air balloon.. this isn't something I would every consider because I'm scared of being in water of which I can't see the bottom, and terrified of heights!
I'm baffling myself with the concept of growing up, having to prepare myself for maturity and the responsibilities that comes with that. I then later questioned myself on this and it occurred to me that technically no human is ever grown up. We are all still growing older until the day that we die. Society is what categorises the age group of young and old.. at least I think so anyway.
I sometimes think I will always stay the way i am - mature in reality and reasoning but I will forever have an escape of a childlike fantasy in my mind, where every day has a rainbow in the sky and everything sparkles like moonglitter. (ooh look at my magical grammar!)
My point? I'm going a little crazy trying to understand how I can have come from a really draining and emotionally constricting state of mind into a sense of absolute freedom and happiness in the space of under three months, but I know that I defiantly owe it to my God, because I'm pretty sure my flimsy body couldn't handle that change without him.
I feel so blessed :)

I'm taking a rest from my super duper busy schedule due to unexpected flu, but I got a little too excited at the prospect of blogging again to wait until the end of the week!

I have been diving into a lot of inspiration recently. I keep feeling like my style is fluctuating between so many different styles, which is really confusing for me. I am still trying to find my feet in that I guess, but anyway - in trying to find my feet I keep looking for inspiration around the internet and I stumbled across Saga Sig's blog The Neverending Story and she has recently photographed backstage work for my favourite fashion designer Meadham Kirchhoff. I have only featured a few photos from the set below, but you can view the rest of her photoset here.
I haven't ever really shared my favourite photographers, fashion designers, or artists before but I wanted to show you some of the photographs that Saga Sig took and the amazing designs of his new collection. They are absolutely heavenly and make me feel fluffy and happy inside. I literally bounce back to childhood memories of fluffy hair bobbles and ice cream vans every time I look through this collection.

For those who follow my work you’ll notice I keep trying to stick to blogging and failing! I’ve decided to start a fresh for the third and last time and hopefully I can stick to this one!
In this blog I don’t just want to update with what I’m shooting next or what I’ve been in the mist of shooting, I also want to include posts of my thoughts, and I may even sneak in a cheeky post or two of scans from my photoshoot scrapbooks and collective inspirations.
I hope you enjoy reading the things I have to say and I promise to update with my first real post by the end of this week.
Peace out,
Annia
