I’ve wanted to set up a mini photo studio in my house for a few years but never really had the space until recently. A few months ago I bought myself a simple lighting and backdrop set up and decided to try out shooting from home.

Aside from product shots which are really useful for my business, I also shot some model product shots with the help of my boyfriend, Richard Ayres, also a designer who frequently needs shots of his new items. The first shoot we need was very casual but we still got a couple of nice images.

We put slightly more effort into the second shoot, used an outfit from my Persephone lingerie range as well as the headdress Rik made me for my birthday and the latexlace cat ears and ended up with quite a sleek set.

We shot this set around Halloween so I did a fun version with a drawn on cat nose as well.

I was quite please with the set overall so I decided to send it to Rebelicious magazine and they published it alongside a short interview.

The feature is in issue #16 and can be purchased here.

I also used one of the image to form the basis of the Regress flyer and the new Eustratia pocket mirror.
