These are from an editorial shot at the beginning of the year, published in April in C-Heads magazines “Bizarre” issue. When I heard the theme I knew I really wanted to go for it, so me and my team thought up a futuristic story with big hair and lots and lots of silver. I haven’t included the full editorial here (head over to my website www.fayesampson.com to see all images), some of our locations included a children’s playground, a busy housing estate, a London taxi and a chicken shop - the day definitely was bizarre.   

A mini editorial I shot for SYN magazine’s March issue (thirstforvision.com) with Leah @ Leni’s. Shot in early spring it was a little chilly so I felt awful about making lovely Leah sit in a pool of water in just a bikini! I filled the pool with hot water and kept topping it up with the kettle and Leah admitted that it actually felt a little bit like a bath!

Finally updating my blog!

This is from a shoot I shot waaay back in February for Xquisit Magazine called Sugar Rush. This shoot was so much fun, we spent the day laughing, eating the props (lots of sweets and popcorn) and listening to the Spice Girls. The models, Amelia @ Models1 and Veronika and Lottie @ Select were perfect for the editorial because they all had such amazing personalities (and were definitely up for a day of eating strawberry laces and dancing to 90’s tunes!) The pretty pastel clothes styled by Aliya Zaidi and pink girly makeup by Carmen Goetz created an overall girly sleepover feel.

I was going to put some images from them in this post, however I can’t figure out how to do it (oh, the shame), so I’ll post some in a minute as separate image posts :)

I am currently in the process of editing images from last Saturdays shoot, which are coming along nicely, and planning four future shoots - the first of which will be shot next weekend. Within the next month I will be working with one designer, two stylists, three makeup artists and a minimum of six models. This may sound like a lot, but I am not yet satisfied and am I’m considering slotting in another shoot in between. I’m a little worried about the weather getting colder and the nights drawing in, but I will do the very best I can to get the best shots possible (as ever). Once winter has fallen I will focus on my studio work as I my studio portfolio is in dire need of an update, and my studio room is warm and cozy to work in!
