Backdates and updates... (Link contains nudity)

So, so much for promising I'd write more! How rubbish have I been!

It's been a busy six months and it's time for an update and promotion of some of the awesome work I have been doing, as well as general what-I-have-been-up-to sort of banter.

First of all, I promised some images from the shoot with Silverlight from January. I have to say... This is maybe in the top three in the list of favourite photos of me ever taken. Aptly named by Wayne "coke and a smoke" it totally sums up why I love doing artistic nude so much. We have done a couple of other interesting and exciting shoots since, the photos will follow in a later blog.

So, in a moment of true madness, I decided I would colour my hair red for Comic Relief in March. It's July now and it's still red because I freakin' love it! The lovely Mike Hardley photographed me with the new do in March and here's my favourite from the day:

It shows the hair colour in a much more muted tone than in reality. Here's a little "selfie" so you can see the colour unedited: 

It's a darker tone now, but I still love it! Even if it is very high maintenance! I had another shoot in May by the lovely Sean O'Malley, and we made my hair quite a feature. We had make up artist Mandy Elizabeth along too, and she did some fabulous things with hair and makeup. The results are awesome! See for yourself:

The hair is a great feature I think, although it took some getting used to, and a few applications of colour to get the tone right. As for Comic Relief, I raised around £300 so that is pretty good going!

I have recently seen Mandy again, when I helped out at the opening of the occasional dress shop Jessica Louise at The Old Watermill Shopping Village in Barton Le Clay. I met some lovely people, and, whilst sampling and showing off the stock, pointed people in the direction of the shop and promoted Mandy's beauty services. We had a fun photo session with Jane Kelly, and discussed some very exciting future projects - watch this space! For now, I will leave you with this image from my shoot yesterday in the glorious sunshine, wearing a gorgeous prom dress and glammed up to the eyeballs with lots of jewellery, several tiaras and some hair pins for effect. 

Happy Sunday folks. XxX.

New Year, New Work

Here we are on the 22nd January and I have been a very busy bee! Not with blogging you will see since my last post was June of last year! Some great things have been happening with my work. There is a new website in development and I am in the process of arranging lots of new fun things in the near future.

I've also been doing some awesome work. Back in October, I spent a day with Steve "Progressive" Jolliffe and Bryan "Almani" Allman. It was a wonderful warm day spent on an English Heritage Property in rural Somewhere-South-West-of-London. I barely did any naked at all, but took some great fashiony bits with me and produced some stuff that is really different for me. Attached!

I also shot with Karen Jones and Richard Lund at Milton Keynes, producing some awesome results as always. Unique Capture is a great space with lots of room for a great variation in shots. I love working there.

I took a little break then and didn't do a lot until after Christmas. Since then I have had six great shoots and seen some amazing results so far! As intended, I finally got my self up to Warrington and did some work with Nick Giles. A great day spent being naked and eating Cadbury's Mini Rolls. We took some photos too!

I also spent a day drinking tea and gossiping with Silverlight, although I am awaiting results from this shoot. I will blog when these come through. Excited!

At the beginning of January, I rambled my way across to Bath to see Stefano Brunesci and what a day we had! We did some research, looked at some nudity, and decided what we were going to do. In a true two-professionals-colliding sense, we got exactly what we aimed for, and the results are fabulous. I have attached two for you to see. I hope you love them as much as I do!

I've had a busy month in all and there is more fun filled dates to come and further great results to see. I WILL write more! I am going to spend a couple of hours now looking for work that inspires me, and do an all photo blog with my findings.

Thank you for reading. Whilst you are here, please pop along and have a look at my new "test" website. I rather like it, but would like some feedback from others: www.button.portfoliobox.me
It's basic but does exactly what it needs to do. Let me know your thoughts.

Bye for now. Button. xxx
