A vintage Betty...

So...

Where to begin...

At the beginning I suppose...

There I was on Wednesday, just watching the new sneaky peek video of  "Idiot", one of the latest offerings of the sensational Betty Woz 'Ere, and a new favourite of mine :)

When low and behold my phone goes off...

To my pleasant surprise it is Betty herself :)

So, we exchange the customary and catch up on the projects each are working on, when Betty asks if I would be able to do some photo's for her. I had a look in the diary and, as it was an urgent job, made arrangements for this weekend...

So the weekend arrives, and so to does Betty, with some exciting and challenging ideas. She wants some photos of herself in a 1930's style, well, it was my lucky day... As a lot of you will already know, I have something of a liking for all things vintage, and this really got my creative juices flowing.

After much gossiping and researching of pictures, styles, and stars of the day, we bounced our ideas around over some fizzy pop and a curly wurly. And we kept coming back to the fantastic Clara Bow, a wonderful actress who not only did the classic Hollywood glamour pics, but also broke the mould by doing some racier "unkempt" looks.

One thing was for sure...

That was the look for Betty!

So we set to it, mixing period vintage lighting, and modern digital equipment (as Betty needed them ASAP) to create a vintage inspired set of images...

Here I am going to be a bit of a spoil sport...

I'm giving you  a sneaky peek of some of the images, but I can't tell you what they are for :( 

I shall leave that surprise to Betty, so keep an eye on her website and see whats happening, all I can tell you, is it will be great fun...

And you'll enjoy the ride...

We certainly are...
