Pretty Woman And Liverpool III

The objective of “Pretty Woman And Liverpool III”, is to raise awareness for the charity #Bloodwise_uk, formerly known as Leukaemia And Lymphoma Research through “tagging” on social media.
I wanted to depict how women in Liverpool “dress to impress”, and have them posed alongside an iconic landmarks, therefore adding culture sophistication and glamour to the picture.
My continued “Pretty Woman” projects have taught me more about composing two subjects in  images were both background and model have equal prominence and the importance of teamwork between model and photographer, adding a new dimension to my work.

The models, dancers and singers who I have photographed have posed voluntary for me, make up artists have also volunteered to help, venues have not charged for use of premises.

The girls who I have photographed have often booked time of work to attend shoots.

They have added life to my photography and have been an inspiration to me.
