Behind the scenes of my photo shoot with Linda Blacker

So here are the behind the scene shots from my photo shoot with Linda Blacker, taken by Jenni dearest!

It was such a fun day I actually can't wait to do another one. Despite the fact it was FREEZING the location was amazing. If you have never been to Leake Street in Waterloo I definitely recommend a Visit.  

The piece I'm standing next to here was my favourite. It captured you instantly and made you wonder what the artist imagined her looking at.

Leake street photo shoot with Linda Blacker

Last week I had a photo shoot with Linda Blacker who was featured in an earlier post.

The photo shoot was in Leake Street in Waterloo. Leake Street is amazing it is pretty much a gallery for talented street artist and the perfect backdrop for my photo shoot.

There is no point trying to explain the shoot with words so here are pictures to explain all!

Little Elephant

Yesterday I went to the city to meet up with Linda Blacker, Linda Blacker is an incredible photographer. Linda is 21 years old and lives in Essex (yes i know she is only 21!). We were meeting to talk about potential photo shoots for both myself and my fashion line. I am planning to get some promo shots together for my music. When I was looking for the right photographer thats when I came across Linda Blacker's Facebook page and thought this is the photographer I want to do my shoot! Linda is an amazing story teller, she uses her photography as her medium. She is an extremely versatile photographer and is awesome at editing photos. We can't wait to work with her! 

Here are a few photos of her beautiful work:

You can find more of Linda's work on her website:

So after I met Linda I decided to go for a wonder knowing Spitalfields Market was only down the road. 

I got there at 4pm an hour before the market closes which we found was the perfect time to go as all the stalls reduce their prices, and thats where I spotted little Elephant. 

This is Little Elephant, little elephant is a Chinese sterling silver elephant pendant that caught my eye straight away. 

In chinese culture an Elephant represents:

Happiness

Longevity

Good Luck

My Family Photo Album

I thought this would be a fun subject to write about as I had so much fun looking through my families photo album I thought it'd be fun to share too!

My family is full of fashionable woman, my Mum, my Aunt and my Nana. But one of the main men in my life, my Dad was and is still pretty fashionable too!

My Mum and my Aunt have the most amazing stories from when they were growing up. My Mum moved to London from Birmingham at the age of 19 right in the middle of the 80's, she met some amazing people and wore some beautiful clothes. I'll do a post about her experiences at some point, it will definitely make a good read! My Aunt travelled the world living all over the place. She speaks five different languages and now resides in sunny Barbados. My Nana is an amazing woman born and raised in Barbados, she moved to England in the 1950's. She always tells me about when she arrived in England everyone wore dark colours and looked dismal, and here came these Caribbean women in their bright yellows and pinks. My Nana is still very fashion conscious! And last but not least my Dad, my Dad dressed to impress and thats what caught my Mums eye. Still to this day my Dad takes pride in his appearance. Don't get me wrong he's not a metrosexual male but he is married to my Mum...

I have loads more pictures to share with you, Enjoy!
