I went to Derbyshire again at the weekend, to go on a shoot with
Kane and
Georgie, and had the pleasure of meeting
Hannah for the first time too. When I arrived,
Kane and I waited for
Georgie to finish her job interview, and then we all headed off to Taxal Lodge for our fashion shoot. Obviously stopping off for chocolate on the way. Had to be done. Taxal Lodge is a very old, and very creepy abandoned childrens home, which is half burnt down. The place is a state, absolutely wrecked by vandals. Smashed up to the max. Anyway, when we arrived I had loads of costume changes in my bag, so I got into my first one, pink and white shorts and pink heels. We did a few photos with a child's dolly, and then we went into another room. I ended up on a bay windowsill, in heels, on the first/second floor, with no glass in the windows and shattered glass under my feet. I must admit, it was pretty scary but well worth it. Then
Hannah and her boyfriend arrived, which was lovely, and we did another costume change. We set off on a hunt for some more rooms to shoot in. We did a few more shoots in some other rooms, and then we went back to the pink room where all our bags were waiting for us. We were doing the last shoot inside the building, where
Georgie and I were all punked up, when we heard voices. We all froze. Then a kid ran past the window.. so
Kane put his head round the door and in his loudest, deepest, scariest voice, shouted "OI!" down the corridor. The kids ran as fast as they could down the path, and looked back to see
Georgie and I glaring at them from the upstairs window. I doubt they will be going back there in a hurry! It was hilarious.
Hannah had to leave, so we packed up our bags and made our way out into the 'garden'. Luckily for Georgie, it was golden hour, and she had some mock up band shoots to do for some coursework. So
Kane and I did a bit of posing in the grass and behind some trees etc, and she came out with some really beautiful shots. We then had to hurry back because we had a table booked at a little restaurant and were already running a bit late. After dinner we headed back to
Kane's place, put a film on and edited some photos. I had such an amazing weekend, and I can't wait to go back and do more fun packed shoots like that. They both are so incredible, really talented and really fun to be around. You should go and check out their Flickr pages for some of the final images; Here are some out takes for your viewing pleasure, if you like.
