Canny Photoshoot

A few shots from the shoot I did around Newcastle to show a cleaner, modern side to the brand.

The make up for all of the photo shoot's was kindly donated by Lush.

Studio Shoot

A couple of shots from the studio shoot I did to show how each garment can be worn by both guy and gal.

So... for my first location shoot I chose Silvas Capitalis in Kielder forest. Silvas Capitalis (a play on the latin for 'forest head') is a giant timber head located along the Lakeside Way created by American artist's collective SIMPARCH. The head has been conceived as a watcher, an imagined presence who has observed the passing occupation of the landscape over past millennia and how the environment has dramatically changed during the last one hundred years.

I created a headband for the shoot using scraps of pig suede and wool along with magpie feathers. The idea behind the shoot is to show the true nature of the brand and what it stands for in terms of looking out for the future of the planet and taking a minute to look at the beauty of nature.

Shop & Rock

In February 2012 I volunteered as a stylist for Shop&Rock, a vintage fashion and music event held at Northumbria to raise funds for The British Red Cross. Shop and Rock won the Northumbria University RAG on-off event of the year award and also the British Red Cross innovation of the year award.

Studio

Dress what I made

I made this dress based on the clothing of third class passengers aboard the Titanic. I used simple cottons and loose shapes to bring across the basic style of clothing at the time. I dip-dyed the skirt using blueberries and finished off the overtop with a simple piece of embroidery. The final shoot was done at Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire.
