How Gay Is 1950s!

I also created a simple poster as part of my 1950s project, to portray homosexuality in the 1950s even though it was very secretive at the time.


But I'm sure that Rock Hudson would have been proud!

Recreating The 1950's

The 1950s is a decade that I adored! I love 50s fashion (especially women's fashion); sqaure shoulders and short skirts were replaced by the soft femininity of Christian Dior's "New Look" silhouette, with its sweeping longer skirts, fitted waist, and rounded shoulders, which in turn gave way to an unfitted, structural look in the later 1950s.


Mood Board
I wanted to recreate the 1950s with its fashion and style, but with a modern twist.


I feel women were seen as quite banal during the 50s, and wanted to subvert this by portraying the women of the 50s in a more colourful and vibrant manner. In a way, my project celebrates feminism and is dedicated to International Women's Day!

Makeup Alive

Makeup Alive…creating a series of images of models with a unique style of makeup and editing. 


A collaboration with a wonderful makeup artist, the one and only Dita Tilhen!


I wanted to create a vibrant signature makeup and bring out and refine the colour and design of the makeup post-production. 


This is a small project of mine to fit in with the current trend of fashion and beauty photography; I, however, wanted to create a more vivid and distinctive approach.


I'd love to hear criticism and opinions? :)

Erez Sabag

An amazing fashion photographer, that has inspired me to create imagery with risks and quirkiness!  That could hopefully fit into the fashion magazines like I-D and Numéro!

One of my favourite images of Bjork!! :D

Renaissance Reborn Pt 2

A small project for university, my initial idea was to create imagery based on the Bible, in a more contemporary and fashionable way, using the collage of photography. 


The Bible is reborn: the stories I re-created are 'Lot's Wife', 'Golden Calf', and 'Mary Magdalene'.

Mr Cazwell! And The Snog Commercial!

First of all Mr. Cazwell you are absolutely hilarious! I love the new genre of Hip Homo! Hehe so funny! Ok ok, it is very very TRASHY! With a capital T! But why not? It works, and it has a great kitschy element! At least he's not hiding it, and it sells! That's what's important...Lady Gaga and Rihanna do it, but the difference is they have a bigger budget - money buys a lot of high standard elements, but they are nevertheless all avant-garde inspired.


I must give credit to Cazwell for this funny and fresh concept. Cazwell is one of today’s most unique and charismatic performers in NYC, who, in his own words, describes his style as “if Biggie Smalls ate Donna Summer for breakfast.”




Cazwell with his team of boys promoted the tasty and healthy choice of Snog yogurt! No one will refuse a Snog yogurt now! Yum!
