Day with Shaun Hodge

This blog post is all about one of my favourite photographers, Shaun Hodge. We last worked together late last year (our second shoot) and I'd like to share the photos with you. These first few are merely from a one-hour slot at the end of a very hectic studio day at KVMedia Studios in Chesham (nr. Watford) before we spend the whole following day shooting together at various different locations around London.
KVMedia is a fantastic set of studios - three rooms, endless backdrops, so many props and an excellent range of lights available for hire.

I like to make a mess in the dressing rooms, hehe.

I was staying in Ealing after my studio day with Shaun and his lovely wife, Amanda. The following day make-up artist & hair stylist, Zarqa Tajdin came to the house to work on me on a highly styled look.

We started with some beauty shots for Zarqa's portfolio, followed by some fashion and something a bit retro Sixties in my original brown velvet hotpants.

After lunch, we visited a friend of Shaun's, also in London, whose beautiful retro-designed house was the perfect backdrop for some funkier shots, one of which (below) featured on the www.vogue.it website. There were stamp-printed cushions, numerous guitars made of various materials, endless CD shelves including a whole CD wall, mirrors, rainbow rugs, asymmetrical tables & chairs - so cool!

Nice colour walls.. this terracotta / orange is also the colour of my own living room walls..

Continuing the theme back at Shaun's home studio..

 

Finally, having a cuddle with Shaun & Amanda's little dog, Shadow :)
