TITLE: FASHIONABALLET - Odile

The series is titled FASHIONABALLET as it combines fashion with ballet and when it is said out loud, it sounds like the word 'fashionably' so it fits in nicely with the theme. The series takes inspiration from the black swan character 'Odile' in the ballet Swan Lake, putting the dancer / model in a black outfit with ruffles and netting to echo ballet balletic vibes about them whilst still looking like actual clothing. Then getting the model to take up a various mix of positions combining quirky, balletic and modelesque poses.

I am currently an Amateur level photographer, looking to elevate my status to Professional, with a focus in Fashion, Beauty & general Portrait work, but also with an interest in outdoor photography & other subject matter. I am a member of the photographer's global interactive community website WWW.VIEWBUG.COM, and in the last few years I've been a WINNER x 5, RUNNER UP x 1 & FINALIST x 6 in their ongoing PHOTO CONTESTS & CHALLENGES. In 2019, my VIEWBUG members's gallery was in their TOP 10% most popular, the website membership is worldwide with thousands of members so that is some achievement. I've also been a FINALIST x 2 of THE MAKE UP SHOW PHOTO COMPETITIONS ( Orlando & Dallas, USA ). In 2019, I was invited by the owner of a small hotel in Turkey to take flower photos to compliment the colour themes in each of the hotel bedrooms, the photos were printed on canvass in various sizes, the largest being 1.4 sqm, and are now hanging proudly in 9 hotel rooms. Inherently artistic, I attended art college for 5 years following school education. Things went in a different direction after that & but now it is my time to revisit & follow my creative passions. In 2012 I trained as a Make Up artist & qualified with Distinction. Where Styling & Make Up Artist skills are called for in a project, I can incorporate these along with my Photography.
