Fashion photography in Maida Vale
A short while ago I had the chance to work together with the incredible stylist Fran Lee and Hair and Make Up Artist Shari Rendle. We brought some fantastic characters to life. It was a joy to capture them on camera and create some flamboyant fashion photography in Maida Vale.
This was a whole day of fast paced make up-changing, hair-arranging and hectic costume-adjusting. And all this in a room full of people. That really was quite an experience and a lot of fun! The models were awesome: all of them professional dancers so they knew exactly how to move and how to pose.
Obviously, fashion this outrageously impractical is not for everyday use: instead it was intended for a show.
The first set of images was based on a jungle theme: Jungle King and Queen were among my favourites with their coloured head pieces.
Then there was the Steam Punk Explorer with the most gorgeous make up, meeting the wild cat!
Of course there are other creatures as well: meet the zebra and the snake!
By now you can probably guess how much I enjoyed this fashion photography shoot. And when I thought the costumes and hair and make up couldn’t get any better we entered the realm Under the Sea.
When I look at these images now I still can’t believe the creativity that went into these costumes. With Halloween so close I might get inspired to try my hand at some make up and face painting. I hope my son hasn’t set his expectations too high, though…
If you are also getting inspired by this creative photoshoot and are looking for a photographer in West London to work with – get in touch with me: I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!

And now as promised I am linking to Jennifer Hicks,a Houston Family Photographer, who is introducing another creative way of shooting a family session: all around a campfire roasting marshmallows.
These images are absolutely incredible, Annika! The colors are amazing! Beautiful studio work!
Thank you so much! It was really fun!
Your use of color is amazing! Such creativity and originality!
Most of that is down to costumes and hair and make up! They were incredible!
Wow, these are insane! I love the colourful ones against the black background so much 🙂
Thank you so much! Yes, I think the black really makes the colours pop
Oh my goodness, there is so much to love about all of these. The level of styling and makeup is fascinating! I just love how you brought these characters to life!
Thank you so much! I was amazed by the skill of the stylist and hair and make up artists, too!
