Stockholm in November

For my (now) fiancé's birthday, I surprised him with plane tickets to Sweden. It's a country we've never been to before, but with its environmentally-friendly, feminist ethics and its beautiful scenery, it was one I'd always wanted to visit. So I booked us some (very) cheap tickets to Stockholm, the capital city, and off we went.

How to... Organise a Photoshoot

I’ve been setting up photoshoots ever since I was 16 years old and studying photography at 6th form. With an entry-level DSLR in hand and a Model Mayhem account, I started contacting local models and meeting up with them (usually with a friend by my side) to take photographs.

Harnaam Kaur + Nik Hampshire

For issue 7 of Parallel, I shot with Harnaam Kaur and Nik Hampshire for an editorial entitled "Let's Skirt the Issue". Harnaam Kaur, if you haven't heard of her, is Britain's "Bearded Dame".

Today I met up with my good friend Charlotte Lipscombe, who has taken photographs of me and my boyfriend in the past (blog post here). She’s a member of the Parallel team and we’ve collaborated before, so when she agreed to model for me I was really excited!

Lomography 85mm Petzval Lens

A couple of weeks ago, the opportunity came up to purchase a lens I had wanted for a really long time at a massive discount (thanks to my job): the Lomography 85mm f2.2 Petzval lens. The newly designed Petzval lens was released in 2013, funded by a Kickstarter campaign, and is based on an Austrian lens which originally came out in 1840.

Peach Club

For Parallel's fifth issue, I wanted to interview a local riot grrrl punk feminist band, Peach Club. I met up with them on a chilly, icy day at a local park and got some photographs, before heading into a nearby diner to conduct the interview.

Catwalks at Graduate Fashion Week

Not only did my AAA pass at Graduate Fashion Week allow me to access a lot of areas that were out of bounds for the general public, it also meant that I could get into the catwalk shows as a member of the press, blag a front-row seat, and photograph away to my heart's content.
