On the 23rd January I took my first trip down to London in several years! I had communicated with Oscar
for a while via email and arranged to shoot at his home studio in Peckham. I thought I would make the most of my time and spend the whole weekend travelling around, shooting and sight-seeing! Having never been anywhere near Peckham before Oscar was great and helped me find a few hotel options (I ended up staying here incase anyone wants to know a place: London Peckham Hotel). I arrived Friday night and visited a friend which was lovely (even if it had felt an eternity travelling!) and was up bright and early ready to shoot Saturday morning. Oscar's place was literally a 5 minute walk from the hotel and he was very welcoming upon my arrival.
We shot from his home studio and I was absolutely amazed at the way he had managed to convert every square inch into a place to shoot! (dedicated doesn't even cover it!) We worked through a range of concepts from seductive, through to fetish and some art nudes. I loved Oscar's creativity, he seemed to be overflowing with ideas and I was surprised at just how many ideas we actually got through! The time seemed to fly by and before I knew it I was packing up and heading off again!
I can highly recommend Oscar to other models as I felt very safe throughout even though I tend to be very warey of meeting people for the first time!
Here is one of the images we created together, I look forward to seeing the rest as he gets round to his mountain of editing work!! (I don't envy him at all) :P
During the rest of my trip I spent time wandering around galleries and gathering inspiration for my own art work, I visited the National Portrait Gallery, Tate Britain and Covent Garden amonsgt other places! I do love the odd weekend in London but it always confirms that I am definity a country girl at heart, the city is just too busy, crowded and chaotic for me!! :)
Until next time,
