Secret Garden

A few weeks ago I met up with a fantastic model Wioleta Michas in Lewes. I first met Wioleta 15months ago on my first ever photoshoot, it was a pleasure to work with her again. We didn't have any particular theme set but we ended up with some great photos and a theme sort of came out of it by itself - The Secret Garden.

Wioleta didn't come alone, Marta Franzkowska did the make-up for this shoot. Here are a few behind the scenes shots.

The Secret Garden set can be seen in its entirety on my main website here http://www.tomsimmonds.com/secretgarden and some other shots both here http://www.tomsimmonds.com/portraits2, here http://www.tomsimmonds.com/thirtyfivemm and here http://www.tomsimmonds.com/instax

Below are a select few for you to have a look at. :D

Last month I also went to Poland with a few friends, I didn't manage to get many photos unfortunately but here are a couple from out of the plane window and the atlas hehe, amazingly interesting I am sure. :P

Origami Queen

In a previous blog post I showed the process of making one of my photos using origami birds, as well as some photos of me making this headpiece, here are a few of them the more can be seen by following the link. :) The idea for the headpiece was to use as a crown for a photoshoot titled 'Origami Queen'.

Above is another page from my sketch book of shoot ideas and below is the finished result. :)

I also did a little video to go with this shoot, it is very short and only the first edit, I might make a longer version with more footage soon but in the mean time here it is. :)
