M A T I L D A X B O N B O N

Mid January in Cornwall can be bleak so these wintry days mean I have to get creative inside. It’s great as I love opportunities to explore new ways of lighting and shooting.

Matilda and I teamed up for a morning to shoot new arrivals and all things pretty for Bon Bon - a fashion and homewares store at Fistral Beach, Newquay. I also captured some beautiful pieces from Joma Jewellery.

Soft light and tones

I used natural light from the window. It was a surprisingly sunny day so with the use of white sheets, I softened the light and shadows. I wanted to create something a little magical - soft tones complemented by intricate texture from the lace, hinted with a drop of luxury; golden and sun kissed.

Playing with colour

For the clothing, we used a plain wall as a back drop and a continuous off-camera lamp for extra lighting. I played with the colour palette and contrasts in post production, but remained authentic with the clothing colours. I wanted to create a more vintage editorial style, which I feel complements the outfits.
