This has to be one of my favourite photo shoots I ever did. We shot it in 2004 and I think it looks as beautiful today as the first time I saw it. The collection was based on the paintings of Vermeer and i feel it totally evokes that while remaining modern and fresh.
The model is Julie Flynn from Morgan the agency this was her first ever photo shoot. She since went on to grander things, including a John Rocha ad campaign. She totally captured the innocence and grandeur I was after.
The final touch was the vision and wonder of photographer David Timmons. It was the first time I worked with him and I hope to do so again real soon.
I truly loved doing this shoot, it was hard work organising it and they can be prohibitively expensive , but this one was worth it all

Unbelievably gorgeous work, Helen! It's hard to believe these are photographs...they are so painterly and moody and visually arresting.
ReplyDeleteholy moley! your work is gorgeous and you definitely captured the Vermeer look you were seeking -- it also reminds me of the 1930's era (I love that era, i.e., I think Persephone Books)...
ReplyDeleteOh, may I please have an ensemble for an event this week.

i am dying! Those models were so styled up, their hands and forearms are tinted in a neutral to support the edgified clothing! But of course you know that! Sheer absolute genius! Sweetkali
ReplyDeleteThey have a quietness that Vermeer evoked in his work well done
