Paloma Faith - La Senza - Breast Cancer Care

 
Paloma Faith has joined forces with lingerie label La Senza to design an exclusive range for the brand, in aid of Breast Cancer Care.

The vintage inspired collection features an emerald playsuit (£30), a black bra (£30) and French knickers (£16). £3 from the sale of the bra and playsuit, and £1 from the knickers will go to the charity.

The Paloma Faith for La Senza range hits the shops on October 1st so prepare to go vintage this autumn.  We love Paloma Faith and the fact that the collection is in aid of Breast Cancer Care is the cherry on top of the cake!

If you get your mits on this underwear and fancy a shoot, get in touch – we would love to go all vintage!


All the best!

Love Music Love Food: The Rock Star Cookbook

Love Music Love Food: The Rock Star Cookbook by Patrice de Villiers (Author), Andrew Harrison (Author), Sarah Muir (Author)

Hardcover: 240 pages    Publisher: Quadrille Publishing Ltd (5 Sep 2011)

“This collection of portraits has been created in the name of Teenage Cancer Trust and predominantly features those artists who have supported the charity over the years, whether taking part in the annual Royal Albert Hall shows, visiting wards, donating a multitude of gifts from signed amps to signed sunglasses or getting involved in projects such as Love Music Love Food. Artists new to the charity have become involved with the project and their relationship with Teenage Cancer Trust started here at Love Music Love Food. It's a great testament to Teenage Cancer Trust that these artists feel passionately about supporting the charity to the point that they'll be smothered in Marmite, have their knees nibbled by sheep, cuddle chickens or get pelted with Dayglo cupcakes to help make a difference. We salute and thank you for being a part of this project. Dig in to the food that makes the stars shine - starring Brett Anderson, Johnny Borrell, Buzzcocks, Biffy Clyro, Roger Daltrey CBE, Brandon Flowers, Noel Gallagher, Ellie Goulding, Professor Green, Mick Hucknall, Kelly Jones, Alex Kapranos, Kasabian, Juliette Lewis, Madness, Mani, Brian May, Paul Oakenfold, Sir Cliff Richard, Francis Rossi OBE, Siouxsie Sioux, Sugababes, Tinie Tempah, Bullet For My Valentine, White Lies, We Are Scientists, Paul Weller, Rob Zombie & many more. “

This book is truly inspirational.  Filled with amazing images, cleverly thought out, and executed to perfection!   

You can purchase this book directly from http://www.teenagecancertrustshop.org/products/Love-Music-Love-Food.html for the bargain price of £30!  The quality of this book is outstanding, and proceeds go to the Teenage Cancer Trust which is a very worthy cause.

You can also purchase prints of selected images from this book from the website ;


Personally I think the best image in this book is a picture of Coco Sumner, musician and model (daughter of Sting and Trudi Styler).


Coco Sumner loves eggy soldiers

All the best!

Progressing my photographic development!

So we’ve been pretty hectic over the last few weeks and we will be updating the blog on all the latest goings on over the next week or so, but firstly I wanted to update everyone with the news that as part of progressing my photographic development, I spent two days information packed days in the lovely town of Thame on a wedding photography course. 

The course was located at the Spread Eagle in Thame (wonderful place if you are in that area and get the chance to visit then you will not be dissapointed!) and was presented by the fabulous David Pearce (check out his website www.openleafimages.com), and I’ve quite literally come out of the two days inspired, enthused and more importantly a better photographer.  I’m always of the opinion that if you think you know everything, then usually you don’t!  I love to be learning all the time!  It was not only seminar based but also practical as well, absolutely brilliant, and hopefully you’ll see a great improvement in my work as a result!

Here are a couple of images from the day of the lovely Fiona and David;






For more information on any of the courses available please visit;


well worth the money, Rock It Up Photography gives it 5 stars!

All the best!
