About Me

London, Kent, United Kingdom
My names Fran and i'm 21 years of age.... i have been studying now at the London College of Fashion for nearly 4 yrs and i am currently finishing my degree in make-up and hair for high fashion editorial. My love for art and fashion started from a young age and ever since leaving school when i was 17 i have concentrated on my passion to work in the fashion industry. Even though i have trained in hair and make-up for three years i have a strong eye for all aspects of the fashion photograph. A lot of my projects i have driven from the start being involved with the concepts right through to the production, styling and art direction. Please take the time to look at my portfolio, i love to get involved in new projects and always up for collaborating with people that have a creative drive and strong work aesthetic.

Week 30th November


Alexei My shit hot model and photographer...looking fab

This week i focused completely on my desire individual project. This is the project i have pages of notes on and really need to start putting my notes into bullets for the 5minute presentation this friday in front of my tutors. I know i am going to really struggle keeping it to 5 minutes, but hopefully if they are enjoying it and i present well they wont stop me half way through. They always try and scare us, they tell us 5minutes so we don't make it 15, that's my theory.

I shot with Alexei and he was also my model. I wanted to make the whole shoot really personal as it's about liberation of other gender. A space where you can open up and be true to your inner desires that we suppress in society. It's about the transgression of the gender binary. The body as our sacred enclosure that is not always truthful to our internal essence. The body as a passive being that we sometimes allow to be inscribed by society. This is why my final image has a ghost like translucent aesthetic to it.
I am so happy with the way the shoot went....Now we just have to start editing the images. In my next post i am going to post both my final shoots, 'Becoming of Age' and 'the desire to chose'.

So i'm nearly there this term has been tough, i can't wait to get the presentations out the way and enjoy christmas with my family and boyfriend.
