The Fabulous Frenchy Jones
I just adore Frenchy. I’ve known her for over 15 years and she’s one of the sweetest, most supportive people that I know. She’s always had a passion for the Burlesque community and I was just so excited that she is the new owner of The Wiggle Room.
Elle Diabloe’s Fantasy Forest
Doing a smoke-bomb photoshoot can be intimidating but the smoke did not phase her at all. Working with smoke-bombs can be challenging but the rewards are more than worth it. The results can be one of a kind art pieces that capture a level of mystery while also making you feel completely free.
Hotel Room Vamp
Depending on the photoshoot concept I will choose the perfect location. For this concept, I wanted something dark and vampy and that needed a more salacious hotel room. When I saw this space with the dark red curtains and matching carpet, I knew it would be perfect. The fabulous burlesque performer Mia Culpa really embodied the whole vamp feeling I wanted to create in these images.
Playful burlesque pin-up
Feathers, tulle and a vintage aesthetic is one of my favourite kind of photoshoots to do. The moment I met burlesque performer, Satin Simone, I knew she was a combination of Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe.
Lou Lou La Duchesse
A big congratulations to Lou Lou la Duchesse de Rière for winning Miss Exotic World at BHOF this year! I met Lou Lou 15 years ago at one of her first burlesque shows when I was just starting out as a photographer. (See our first shoot together at the bottom of this post)
Burlesque Smokebomb
France came to me looking for a photoshoot where she could have a beautiful portrait of herself, be super creative and have great promo images for her burlesque shows. Inspired by her intense magenta hair, I knew we had to make the photos as colourful as possible.
Witchy Vibes
Behind the scenes of a very witchy smoke-bomb photoshoot with burlesque star, Lou Lou la Duchesse de Riere.
I’ve always wanted to play with smoke bombs, they always looked so cool in photos but I have to admit I was scared at the same time. I didn’t know how I was going to control the smoke, how fast I had to take the photos, if any good images would ever come out or would it just be a messy disaster. It’s a good thing I like challenges and just because I might be nervous about something, doesn’t mean I’m not going to try it.
BURLESQUE WITH AN EDGE
Why choose when between being feminine & edgy in a burlesque inspired photoshoot when you can do both?
