The Norwich Fashion Week Vintage Show took place last night, and I've never been to such a glittery event in my life! The music and styling was disco-themed, so the building had been redecorated with glitter and gold.

It's been a little while since I did any portrait or fashion photography, so a few weeks ago I browsed Instagram looking for local models, bloggers, and other people who might be interested in setting up a photoshoot.

For my (now) fiancé's birthday, I surprised him with plane tickets to Sweden. It's a country we've never been to before, but with its environmentally-friendly, feminist ethics and its beautiful scenery, it was one I'd always wanted to visit.

I’ve been setting up photoshoots ever since I was 16 years old and studying photography at 6th form. With an entry-level DSLR in hand and a Model Mayhem account, I started contacting local models and meeting up with them (usually with a friend by my side) to take photographs.

I was recently hired by Bond no.28 Tombland, a Norwich cocktail bar, to shoot a 6-minute video to play in the background in their bar. I came into the club 3 separate times - once for a Speakeasy Sunday event, and then twice over the August bank holiday weekend.

As you will know (unless you’ve been living under a rock), it was recently the EU Referendum in the UK. The majority of the UK voted to leave, which is something that I strongly oppose. I voted remain, and I’m proud to say that so did the majority of my city – Norwich is the one single “remain” city in amongst a sea of “leave” cities

When we decided on the theme for the next issue of Parallel, I instantly had an image in my head of what I wanted the cover to look like. Throughout university, I loved playing with colour in the studio, and making really bright portraits.

On Monday, I headed to Norwich Fashion Jam to take some photographs.

A couple of weeks ago, the opportunity came up to purchase a lens I had wanted for a really long time at a massive discount (thanks to my job): the Lomography 85mm f2.2 Petzval lens. The newly designed Petzval lens was released in 2013, funded by a Kickstarter campaign, and is based on an Austrian lens which originally came out in 1840.
