Published in Nuts again….
My first Bedroom Babe shoot is published in this weeks Nuts Magazine :) The shoot was a few weeks ago in an amazing apartment in South London. The apartment was on the Thames and had amazing views of the river…. unfortunately it was the greyest day ever! - so rather depressing!
Stylist: Sarah Cook
Make-up Artist: Jo Adams

Interview with Front….
I had my interview (or appointment/ meeting…not sure what to call it) with Front Magazine yesterday.
The office was nice a cosy unlike the Nuts office, which was HUGE. I liked this as i could have a nosy around without being too obvious :). I met with Adam (Picture Editor) and Steve (Art director), they were really nice… and a lot calmer than me. I was a bit more nervous this time :S especially as i walked into an office of mostly men and had to say “erm….. i’m here to see Adam Gordon”.
Anyway it seemed to go well and i even got a free magazine :) I was very happy with this as i was really looking forward to seeing this issue. Both Natalie Blair and Rosy Cherrington are in this issue and i really wanted to see what type of shots they got in comparison to mine.
They spoke about commissioning me for some future shoots and it looks like i’ll get to do them up north…. which is always a bonus :) I definitely feel like i don’t go up enough at the minute.

Can I call myself a ‘Stylist’ now too?….
Heres another pic from the shoot with Natalie Taylor. I love the headband she’s wearing!… i bought it from Urban Outfitters. A bit pricey at £8 for a piece plastic… that tears out some hair every time you take it off… but it looks cool.
I love inflicting my clothes on the models when doing shoots. Since doing syndication shoots i even started buying clothes for them, then returning them later. Actually i am struggling at the returning bit at the moment… the leather jacket Natalie is wearing (below her tits you can just about see it) is from Topshop and still in my wardrobe… i have kinda, sorta, decided to keep it…. i do have 28 days to decide.
Maybe i can add ‘stylist’ to my job title too… i plan to keep on doing this until i go bankrupt.

Heres a pic from last weeks shoot with Natalie Taylor from Girl Management… Its not the kinda photo i normally take as i normally set up studio and use my big fat flashes. This time i just used one SB900 mounted on top on my camera. I’ve noticed a lot of the lad’s magazines are taking more and more photos this way…. Plus i did get a mood board for this shoot and all the images pretty much looked like this. I’m not complaining…. its makes life a lot more lighter :) and i do think the images it produces are pretty cool.
Its a bit scary not photo-shopping the images the way I’m used to though… Nuts magazine told me to tone it down a little… i guess they want it to look more real and less polished….. but now I’m just afraid I’m UNDER photo-shopping :S

Today i had my interview with Nuts magazine :) i was surprisingly relaxed… then again i did have my oversized portfolio to hide behind. I got to london bridge nice and early, had breakfast in pret, then headed to the massive blue fin building.
There were cheer leaders and a man with a massive bag of Krispy Kremes at reception, i assumed they were going to Nuts but judging by FHM’s tweet today they were going to FHM. The lady at reception took an unflattering low angle picture of me, gave me a security tag and directed me to the lifts.
Upstairs i met Colin (Nut’s picture researcher), John (Picture editor) and Daffydd (Deputy picture editor). They were really nice and took some time to look at my portfolio and answer my questions. The office was HUGE so thankfully i didn’t have the whole office overhearing my ramblings. It seemed to go well, i was in there for 20mins. I wish i could have stayed all day snooping about the office asking a million questions…. but these men had work to do and my time was up.
I was really expecting shaky legs and high pitched squeaky noises to come out of my mouth but i managed to stay calm :) … I did managed to leave my security tag at their desk… so they can have a nice laugh at my picture before returning it to reception :S
Hopefully soon i’ll get a commission to do a ‘Bedroom babes’ feature…..*fingers crossed*…..
