Land Girls Shoot for Dandy-Lion magazine

This is the second shoot that me and Naomi did for Aisha's Dandy-Lion Magazine. because of the nature of the magazine, she was really interested in incorporating the mend and make-do theme. This shoot was therefore based on the war time Land Girls when the men went to war.
Whilst the women were still working the land they still made an effort to make themselves beautiful. All of the hair and make-up were based on 1940's look of that time.
We spent the day on a working dairy farm near Wareham (Dorset). As well as having the cows, the farmer still owned some of the machinery from the 1940's/50's like the tractor below.
The farmer also gave us food to feed the cows so that we could have some images of that. This worked really well until one cow decided to make a bolt for freedom and we ended up chasing him round the farm.
At the end of the day we got the cows in from the fields, this was pretty funny as the girls were dressed up in their 1940's evening wear. It defiantly did feel as though we had gone back in time.
These are the final photographs from the photographer. They were edited to have an older sepia type feel. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the final shoot in the magazine but hopefully I can get hold of that soon to show you.The team: Aisha (Director), Naomi and myself (stylists), Elise, Maddie and Heather (models), Louise (photographer), Charlotte and Jade (make-up and hair).

Beach Shoot for Dandy-Lion Magazine

I was asked alongside Naomi Farmer to style for Aisha's new magazine. The theme was beach in the Autumn time so we wanted to show how a style which is usually shown for summer could be translated to a colder time of year.
The idea behind this was to show summer dresses being worn with thick warm jumpers and socks. These photographs were taken by me during the shoot on my phone.
I have previously worked with Naomi and we find that quite often we will bring elements that work well together, for example the socks here.
The clothing was borrowed from a vintage boutique based in Bournemouth.
These behind the scenes photographs were taken by the photographer, Phoebe, throughout the day (which is why they are better quality). One thing Phoebe tries to do whenever she has a shoot is to take a group shot. Below is the team, from the left: Aisha (Director), Naomi and myself (stylists), Nikita (model), Phoebe (photographer), Charlotte and Jade (make-up and hair) and finally Larissa (photographers assistant).
These are the final edited photographs from Phoebe, I am so pleased with the outcome. I think they defiantly have the right balance of Autumn feel on the beach.
This is the final layout for Aisha's magazine layout. The magazine is called Dandy Lion and is a unique collectable magazine.
