Behind the Scenes | Cambridgeshire Lifestyle Photographer

January has been an amazing month already for me and I am so looking forward to what the rest of 2012 has in store for me.

This last month has seen me working Christmas Eve for a couples renewel of vows (blogging real soon!), working for my fav photography magazine on a styled shoot and working with an amazing up and coming model from Huntingdon, Amber Tutton. I feel so blessed and priveledged to have worked with such talented people of late.

Today I thought I would share some behind the scenes shots of my styled shoot the other week. I organized a Ice Queen vs Black Swan shoot ,complete with models, MUA and hairstylists. it was an amazing day, the weather was good to us if not a little cold! But then what do you expect at the beginning of January!

The creative team all met at mine where we started to prep the models for our first scene.

Your Life is Your Art

Welcome 2012 | Cambridgeshire Lifestyle Photographer

Wow, already a week in to 2012 and I havnt blogged yet! Its been a busy week already and the next few months calender is looking pretty bust so far! I am excited to see what 2012 brings and meeting new clients, building new friendships and expanding my creativity.

Tomorrow is the first day of what will hoopefully be my new creative team: MUA (make up artist), hairstylist and 2 models will be joining me on an exciting styled shoot at Hitchingbrooke Park.

I cant give too much away as it is for a magazine, but if you follow me on Face Book you will know  the theme, and here is a sneak peek of what tomorrow will bring...

I am styling tomorrow's shoot which has been way too much fun, LOL, with bling, fur and feathers adorning my studio and some gorgeous Doris Design skirts, I am sure the models will rock this shoot.

Hopefully will catch up with you all in the week, with some session shares.

Wishing you all a wonderful and creative 2012,

Remember, Your Life is Your Art

Retro Rooby Skirts

A couple of weekends ago, I had the great pleasure of photographing Rooby Lane of Retro Rooby Stores, awesome and cute skirts for adults.

I have fallen head over heels with these skirts and cannot wait to shift  a few more pounds before I can buy one.

Inspired by a wedding shoot I say by Corrine Delis, I had decided I wanted to do this fashion shoot at a circus. Thank goodness for facebook, a shout out for a circus got me reults in minutes and I was headed off to Bedford to the Big Top with model Narissa Merry. Well it rained, it poured and was not going to stop and our shoot was postponed to last weekend.

This time the sun was shining and armed with balloons, popcorn and a cute red vintage vanity case we headed to The Big Top.

 

Then we had a skirt changed and headed to a more country background. I took my new 1950's basket I had recently purchased from Ebay and filled it with some gorgeous sunflowers.

I had so much fun, and cannot wait to work with Rooby again.

If you are an Independant,Etsy or Folksy clothes designer and would like Anna Bowkis Photography to do some fashion shots for you, just drop me a line at anna@annabowkisphotography.com
