Winter arrives as Battersea Park...



So..as you know..I love to try out new ideas...push the boundaries & come up with new creative inspiration.  I also love to meet up with fellow photographers to share knowledge & chat with like-minded people so when I was invited to take part in a Narnia themed photoshoot in Battersea Park,  London I booked my train ticket faster than you can say "Aslan!!!"


The day was organised by the lovely Claudia Carter & Gary Lashmar & was sponsored by Aspire Photography Training . It was a fantastic day...unfortunately we didn't get any snow which would have made the theme even more realistic but the models look very much the "Ice Queens".  The lady responsible for styling the girls was the talented Julia Plant & the dresses were very kindly supplied by Luella's Boudoir


The models for the day were Lexie Lambert, Hayley Buckingham, Helena Willcocks, Natasha Rozhdestvensky &  Flora M-Dutton & I really take my hat off to them...it was FREEZING & they were all amazingly brave!












After the photoshoot we all headed off to Beaufort House, Chelsea  for some totally inspirational talks by some fabulous speakers.

Oh...we might not have gotten snow...so I had to add my own...just for fun!! 




A massive thank you to everyone who made the day so fantastic & to all the lovely fellow photographers I met.  

Next on the blog I'll show you part 2...what I got up to AFTER the photoshoot on the streets of London Town!!!
