"I wonder when the day will come when we finally become okay with it, with the human form."

Sometimes less truly is more.

Lottie Moss by Michael Avedon for Calvin Klein Jeans x Mytheresa.com - The Re-issue Project

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

A possible case for sibling rivalry or just a very high-fash form of flattery? 

If we were ever going to put the odds on who would someday even dare to try and pilfer Queen Kate's couronne de mode, then surly we should have known the gutsy opponent would crop up from right out of the same gene pool?

British family history - there's just no escaping it.

Following in her sister Kate's runway worthy footsteps; Lottie Moss has joined forces with renowned fashion and portrait photographer Michael Avedon and Calvin Klein Jeans to recreate one of her elder siblings most recognised campaigns.
 Aptly named the 'The Re-issue Project'; the much anticipated collab between CK Jeans and Mytheresa.com sees Miniature Moss doing her best Kate impression, to model a petite selection of the American label's most iconic designs. Designs which have been cleverly remastered into what the two brands are calling a 'nineties throwback with a modernised twist'.

#flashbackfashion - ring, ring, ring.

The verdict? Nice try but it's just missing that certain... je ne sais Moss.

Shame, however, as one of my siblings dons occupational scrubs from day to day, the other continues through an ongoing battle with not-so-stylish adolescence. I guess I'll just have to suffer from 'sole child with no wardrobe to turn to' syndrome that little while longer.

Desperately seeking Scandi.

Julia Nobis by Patrick Demarchelier for Vogue UK August 2014

Man repellent city dweller seeks Scandinavian agriculturist with a slight nod towards Dutch milkmaid for clothes swapping and nights out.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

'Best of British' - Sang Woo Kim by George Harvey for Models.com

I'm going to put this down to a matter of situational circumstance or simply just one of those 'right place, right time' affairs... 

Three days dedicated to the world's leading names in the menswear biz, an unrestrained 'almost' tourist exploring every avenue the city has to offer and let's just say the resulting sartorial assemblage of some very proud parent's offspring. 

London Town has quite literally become my Oyster.

Emily Green: PhotoReady

6.01.2014

'Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not real'

Cue mass bubble bursts when you find out that, really, this isn't some serious case of Catfish blogging. In fact last time I checked, I still was a twenty-something, blonde female with nothing to hide - very much so. My obvious state of 'camera shyness' hasn't conceived itself due to an abrupt distaste for getting photo-ready, it's just I prefer to write cheese than say it.

Emily Green, however, is one person who does put as much love into the camera as she gets back. Getting fully acquainted with the aspiring photographer and entrepreneur; find out her thoughts on sex in photography and the intentions behind THAT photo shoot...


From a young age I've always been more creative than academic and I came to realise that I've always had the eye for art. When I reached the age of 14, I was given the opportunity to study Photography at GCSE level, so naturally I jumped at the chance; I mean anything was better than Geography or History!
I also had one of the nicest teachers. She showed so much genuine interest and belief in what I was producing, which then filled me with self confidence.
So, after picking up an A at GCSE, I went on to study at A level and pushed myself down the fashion route. With no access to a studio at school; I did a lot of fashion on location - say the odd living room shoot with a bed sheet. You know the one.
I managed to pull an A* out the bag which made me realise then that I had some natural talent for photography that I wanted to pursue - hence why I'm currently at uni.

At the University of Huddersfield. Going into my final year in September - scary!


I've decided not to specialise in anything just yet. For now I'm photographing whatever I can just to ensure that I have a broad portfolio; although my preferred style of photography is definitely fashion. My personal interest lies within fashion and I just love the concept of building a fashion image, from the styling to selecting the models and so on.
As for a career plan, weddings are amazing routes to go down. You meet such nice people and get to experience some beautiful weddings and dresses.

Oh God! Well, there hasn't really been that many but I suppose this one has to be the worst. 
I was photographing a friend of mine for a series of images I took in my first year and guess what... I turned up to set without my camera. The one tool I most needed and I'd gone and forgotten it. I have no idea how so don't ask, call it a blonde moment? 


I was heavily inspired by Andrej Pejic, Helmut Newton and Bettina Rheims throughout the androgyny project, however generally in terms of fashion I love the old classics - Bailey, Rankin and Patrick Demarchelier will never seize to amaze me.

Sure. I was given the brief of 'The Body' at uni, something I've never really explored before as a photographic subject. Many of my peers took the 'naked vs. nude' approach whereas I decided to explore the idea of gender identity and narrowed it down to androgyny - which is the appearance of a person whose gender identity is unclear. 
With an already keen interest in fashion photography; I decided to merge the two together and create an androgynous fashion editorial. Working with stylists, models and MUA's to create the look I intended.


Recently I've noticed that the photography side of the fashion industry is bringing back the Marilyn Monroe type figures. Curvy girls are being given their time to shine! Finally!
One thing I do not agree on is the overuse of retouching to morph peoples bodies. You are who you are and I don't like the fact that the industry seems to have so much power and a strong hold over influencing the way that people, or mostly women, should look.


I'd say so but then I guess it depends what you're selling! 
Lads mags, obviously yes but with some fashion campaigns it doesn't necessarily work. Although there are a few shampoo and perfume ads that are rather kinky...

I'd like to say rich but we'll have to see - it only takes one lucky lottery ticket. But seriously, I'd like to think I'd be self-employed with a steady business and my own studio in Leeds where I have grown up and now live with my family. My real aim at the moment is to get an editorial printed in a magazine before I graduate!

I'll tell anyone that's wanting to pursue their career in photography, or any creative industry, that without a bit of self-belief you ain't going nowhere! Something that I've learnt over the years is that if you don't believe in yourself then you can't expect others to believe in you either.
Networking is also a wonderful thing. Be in contact with as many people as you can, whether that's other photographers, stylists, MUAs, hairdressers, models, agencies, people! These people make you money, they're important and without them you wouldn't have half as good of an image.

Shannikah 'Rae' Doherty by Amanda Shadforth of Oracle Fox for Veronkia Maine

Correct me if I'm wrong here but it looks like our sun-soaked siblings from Down Under are anything but SAD come the seasonal switch over.
 I mean, surely when us Brits are stripping down to (almost) what God gave us and finishing off with a bottle of factor fake tan, our Aussie comrades should at the very least be positioned next to the nearest heat source coupled only with a boiling cup of hot Vimto...

(Too Mancunian?)

Pinstriped panties, men's shirts and an abundance of oversized knits - with an aesthetic about the only thing sub zero in these shots by Amanda Shadforth for Aus label Veronika Maine; be sure to find me on board the next flight bound for those scorching Winter rays.
