Earlier this year I took part for the second year running in the Great Trentham Collaboration (GTC). This is a two day event that brings together designers, hair & makeup artists, models and photographers.
For my shoot with Kafleen McKenzie we wanted to go with a witchy theme so we chose a black dress designed by Deranged fashion, with a headpiece designed by Nicola Robinson. Eden Gibbons then created a very wild look with the makeup.
We started the shoot in the area under the stairs of the old grandstand using a mixture of ambient and flash light. 
We then moved to a tangle of vines which created the first image above, but was a pain to extract from the tulle of the dress.
We finished up with a relatively simple shot in front of plain wall.
Of of the great things about being part of a creative collective is that opportunities come about to shoot in unusual locations. This was the case of a shoot in a cowboy themed bar in Wellington. We were given the opportunity to spend several hours in there before the bar opened.
