Sinful Sunday: Lay (Wander Series)

This Wander image (another shot taken on my afternoon walk with the lovely E) has tortured me a bit. My photo editing skills are somewhat limited but I decided to try and knock all the colour out of it, bar that in the red top I was wearing, in order to stop the hayfield from dominating me (pun intended) quite so much. Er, yeah. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite good enough to negotiate my way around all the grass blades in the foreground so, after much growling and muttering, settled for messing about with the colour levels to make all the green stuff a little more silvery. I kind of like what I ended up with (I think the seed heads feel a little bit ghostly) … Continue reading →

Sinful Sunday: Hay Field (Wander Series)

This is the second group of pictures from my Sinful Sunday Wander Series and, as you’ll see from the below, E and I moved out of the woods and into a much more open space – a huge hay field. Surrounded by elderflowers and big trees, it’s a truly beautiful place, especially when the grass is long like it is now.

We had a little bit of an, er, encounter with some dog walkers while doing this set – I was haring around with no top and suddenly saw a golden retriever bounding through the grass towards me. Cue frantic dropping to my knees and scrabbling about for my t-shirt (not easy to find in long grass!) whilst E tried not to laugh and give the impression she was taking photographs of seed heads. Thankfully, we were alone again a short time later and were able to continue.

Once again, massive thanks to the lovely E for her help in shooting these images. Continue reading →

Sinful Sunday: Woodland (Wander Series)

The following images wouldn’t have been possible with the help of my very lovely friend, E, who didn’t bat an eyelid when I told her I needed help shooting some (sort of) revealing photographs. Or balk when I said ‘bring wellies!’.

We had such a blast taking these pictures – and the others in what I’m now (pretentiously) calling the Wander series; they were all snapped in a single afternoon on one of my favourite walking routes. Having the opportunity to experiment with natural light, textures and, in some of the shots, gusts of wind, made the whole experience both fascinating and enjoyable. We had so many ideas we wanted to explore but, in the end, we ran out of time! Looking at what we ended up with, I decided to group the images according to setting and, rather than reveal them in all in one go, post them over the next few Sinful Sundays.

Relatively speaking, the photographs in Wander are pretty tame (although for me personally they are quite risky) but I hope that you get a sense of the open spaces we were in and a little hint of something sensual going on within them. Continue reading →

Sinful Sunday: Stroke

Stroke

This photograph was a happy accident. It’s from the Working Girl sequence I did for the Sinful Sunday competition a few weeks back (some of you may recognise the lingerie) and I was playing around with downwards-looking shots. In the end, I decided that it didn’t communicate the film’s title clearly enough, so pushed it to the side.

I was actually wearing a fake fur coat over my stockings and knickers during that snapping session and I think the reason I like this image is that you can see a hint of its texture. The coat in question has been hanging in my wardrobe since I was 20 (my OH calls it my ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ coat) and I love it as much now as the day I bought it. It’s very warm (I’m someone who tends to feel the cold!), the fur is thick and lush (it feels amazing against bare skin), and I often find myself stroking it when I’m wearing it. What can I say? I’m a tactile girl. :-) Continue reading →

Sinful Sunday: Hobble

Hobble

I actually took this pic a few weeks back and didn’t really like it. But then I looked at it again today and decided I didn’t mind it as much as I thought I did. Still not entirely sure that all the textures work together, though – what do you guys think?

PS – these shoes? They’re my favourites. If the house was burning down, this would be the pair I’d save. Impossible to walk in, of course, but they always make me feel sexy whenever I wear them. Continue reading →
