Vintage Photo shoot!

The shoot was held in the Kalutara Richmond Castle, a massive old house which was absolutely perfect and made for my shoot! :P Arantha being one of my favourite professional fashion photographers in Sri Lanka was absolutely amazing to work with. Loved how everything turned out from the makeup to the final look! Special thanks to Gayani Batz and her assistant who did an incredible job with the hair and make up oh and Simmy looked beautiful!!! She was so easy to fit and she really put me at ease during the shoot! Also a big thank you to Achintha and Dhanushka who have been helping me throughout! So it was really great working with you all and I hope you enjoyed yourself and had fun as much as I did despite having to carry all our belongings up and down in the massive old building just to make sure they are safe! Haha! Here are some of my clicks behind screen! ;)  Enjoy!

On to the next............. :D

Art and Fashion!

Black or White

Should some one judge a person by his or her external appearance? Well that is exactly the message the photographer is trying to give here and is clearly depicted through painting the two models in black and white. By observing their expressions and looking at each and one of these images I feel like he’s trying to say that outer appearances no matter what, can be totally misleading and that all we humans have that inherent instinct of judging people by their looks, the way they speak, dress, walk, and what not! However, whatever the final judgment is we still may be wrong! He says ‘There is a black and white person inside each and every one of us!’ So in response, I feel that by the end of the day whether you choose to be a good or bad person is in your own hands! :) Checkout the latest model magazine to have a closer look at the images! :) Enjoy!

DIY

Have been thinking of ways to make use of these designer beads I got from John Lewis and finally managed to put it to use! :D I used the same chord that came along with this to make a simple beaded necklace! Absolutely j'adore the colours! Turquoise! The colour of protection! If you read my previous post you'd know! :D Well you could even try using these beads to make a chunky bracelet (with an elastic chord of course! ), or to attach on to one of your outfits, or to decorate one of your little clutch bags :) or use them as buttons!!! etc Whatever you want it to be! :D It's just too simple yet beautiful! :) Bling!
