The shoot went really well, the location worked well with the era and everyone made a really big effort, i look forward to looking at the final images.

I wanted the theme to be traditional and loyal to the fundamental nature of Chanel so I chose an old fashioned Hotel. It had numerous features that appealed to me which included a staircase entrance with a red velvet carpet, a garden area and a function room with detailed lighting and a stage.I wanted to produce images that represented Chanel back in the 1920’s to 1950’s.Using classic elegant poses with ornate and ordered locations, I felt that the essence of Chanel existed in the images.

After the Hotel we relocated to the Russell Coats Gallery and used the Garden to construct distinctive and urbane images, the gardens are beautiful and I knew I could create a Chanel atmosphere among the stone stairs and greenery. The stone stairs reminded me if the advertisements of Chanel today and I used them as a contrast against the soft and tailored clothing.

I am going to carryout another shoot when i'm back home and this time i am going to make it more edgy and experimental.
