Designs by Cristina Zani

I occasionally get to work with like – minded creatives which is great. Sometimes arranging with them prior to the shoot. To either to provide the make up, hair styling or style for the shoot.

Alternatively if they contact me and want to collaborate with me. In terms of wanting to have certain designs or looks photographed and that way we both benefit from the arrangement. They provide the outfits or designs. I provide the studio or location and find a model, after the shoot I send them their chosen images. Occasionally someone might turn up with the some of the others involved with the shoot.

This was in fact the case at a recent location shoot in Morecambe with wonderful model dancer Kate C.

I had the pleasure to meet Cristina Zani. A talented jewellery designer and her work can be seen here Cristinazani.com

Cristina had come along that day with her latest designs. She was wanting some images of these designs to use for her forthcoming exhibitions. Also for publicity information for these exhibitions.

Cristina works with various media. For this shoot her pieces where made of wood and were bold and had muted colours. These looked good against the skin of Katy, and the tones of the location. So we shot a series of images featuring Cristina work.

Below is a sample of the images Cristina chose. The model is of course Katy C. Lighting was the natural light of the windows in the location.

Hair was done by Amy and Make up by Donna Graham from Southport.
