Photographer: Murat Ozkasim
Assistant: Neal Lewis
Hair: Hanna Lee
Designer: James Steward
Makeup: Sonara Parker

I was lucky enough to be part of an amazing shoot with a great team of people in Leeds, from the amazing fashion photographer Murat Ozkasim to James Steward who creates the most breath taking dresses with his talented hands. The hairdresser, Hanna, did an amazing job, i only wish i could have taken her in my kit to every photo shoot!

A full studio set was constructed by Murat and his assistant Neal, we had the circus back drop, a real swing (that i was really tempted to have a go on), juggling clubs, giant balls, top hats, even the buzzing atmosphere reminded me of the circus and all that was missing were the lions and elephants!
The makeup looks for these images were of course inspired by the circus, i decided that one of the models would be more like a ringmaster, and Rosie was to be my beautiful clown. It was fantastic to be able to be creative with the makeup, as although i do love fashion and bridal makeup, being creative is what most makeup artists dream about, it keeps us going as its good for the arty soul!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of this creative shoot *creative glee*

Love & Blusher,
