Summer is defiantly here!

Harper’s Bazaar has invited Tommy Ton shot a group of fashion photos for the magazine. Tommy Ton one of my favourite photographers and is known for the famous Jack & Jill blog taking snaps of street style and models around the world. His work is featured allot in Style.com and GQ.com. These photos he has taken defiantly scream Summer for Harpers Bazaar! I love how natural and un-posed the images look, they just look so elegant without being forced. The outfits are just gorgeous with the bright contrasting colours and the prints that are in right now. It just goes together so effortlessly. Not long left until summer holidays! 

What the heck makes you different?

What the heck makes you different?

"This changes everything. The industry is dead. There has never been a time to be an artist."-Seth Godin

 I keep asking my self the question. What the heck actually makes me different? The world now has come to a point were an artist is not rare, a musician or a fashion designer or a writer is not rare. We come across people like them everyday, all the time.  Once over those types of people had to have something so unique about them, something so intriguing and captivating, something so different to anyone out there. That was real talent I guess.

But now. Anyone can be a fashion designer, a writer, a filmmaker, a musician or photographer. Literally. Technology has advanced so much that once over the only way to become a singer was to go to professionals and pay them to record your voice after years of training, now we have software we can download to our very own laptops and record with a click of a button. Like the Mac laptops are great to record voices and many people are doing that instead of spending so much money in a studio. Film makers had to be rich, had to have enough money to buy all the equipment needed to create a film, but now anyone can be a film maker with gadgets that record at high quality, changeable lenses and cheap prices, anyone can practically record a film. Take the 5D mark II, so many people are now buying this camera and creating amazing high quality films.

We have come to a time were anyone can do anything without specializing in the subject or having a lot of money. Take a look at YouTube and you can see so many singers with so many views, in the end what makes them different to enable them to stand out and get noticed?

Take a look at blogger and Word Press... So many bloggers around, so many writers, but what makes them different to stand out against the rest?

Fashion designers and enthusiasts re blogging and posting fashion photos on their blogs... what makes them different from all the other bloggers who do the same thing?

Here are some of the final images I used for my portfolio to present to universities, and what they judged me on. I hope you like the images. 

'The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities. It is now a time were everyone can express them selves so easily and now is defiantly the time to become an artist because allot of true talent has been flooded and drowned in a vast digital ocean of mass culture.'  Its time to stand out because we have technology at our very own finger tips. I still don't know what makes me different but in time I will find out as I progress in my photography since I am still only learning and will hopefully get better by time, dedication and practise.The question is... What the heck makes YOU different? 

See you next Friday everyone and have a wonderful weekend!

I absolutely love the shapes created by her body in these images, and the vibrant colours jumping out the page! I literally fell in love with these images when I came across them, I am not a big fan of heavy editing, but I personally think in this shoot it works well.

Dubai snap shots.

Hey everyone,

As you all know I went to Dubai last week, so I thought I would upload a few of the photos I took. Dubai was gorgeous, but what I really loved the most was the Aquarium and the view from Joe's Cafe overlooking the fountain show and Burj Khalifa literally in front of my eyes. I was going to go right up to the top of Burj Khalifa, however it was sold out for 2days straight so hopefully next time. I went on a little road trip and visited Al Ain and also Abu Dhabi which too were very beautiful. The weather was gorgeous, perfect to go to the water park called Wild Wadi, where I wish I had my camera to take the view from where I was standing when I was queuing for the slide, it was just breath taking.

Here are a few snap shots I took of the beautiful place's I went too.

I have recently just created a "kik" account, due to a lot of people asking for my Blackberry Pin which I don't give out so I thought the kik account is more convenient. So anyone who has one, add me: FrozenVanity. I have also changed my twitter name to @frozenvanity. Basically my, Twitter,Instagram and Kik is all Frozen Vanity now.

I hope you liked the photos and I shall be posting next Friday as usual so see you then! & don't forget to have a look at the daily dose of inspiration! Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful week. Last weeks post I had said I wasn't going to blog but I came back to UK yesterday therefore I will be blogging this week and I will show you all the random snap shots I took this week in Dubai next Friday! This post is just going to be a short one...

When I do photo shoots, I don't just like taking photos of the posed model and what I planned but, I love taking random photos of behind the scenes too, of the jewellery, or the shoes or the fabric...it creates an atmosphere to go along with the final photos.

'Photography. The best cure for a bad memory.'


Hello to all my lovely readers,

This week I was looking through my hard drive at old photos and some of the images I just couldn't remember taking, it made me realise events and days just fly past us and can easily be forgotten. I guess that’s one reason I love taking photos because I can eventually look back at them and remember the day, the people and the feelings I once had.

Back to Blogging.

Back to Blogging. 

Hello all, I am finally back in 'sunny' England. So sorry I didn’t blog last week, my flight was on the day and had to do last minute things however I’m back to blogging now.

First time for everything.

First time for everything.

Hey Readers, blogging from sunny Qatar right now,

So as you all know, I had to travel alone for the very first time. Here's the story.

She sat at home writing lists of things to do, things to buy, things to watch out for, things to take note of and things to pack. Some may have called this compulsive, she called it extra organised.

Its a big world out there, but even bigger at your screen.

"Today, we're so intertwined socially, financially and industrially that suddenly going back to the 1980s would hit the world as hard as a natural disaster, experts say."

Have you ever wondered how many people are using the Internet? What are they doing on the Internet and how do we benefit from it? I have started thinking about it regularly; due to the fact everything I do is on the Internet.

Hey everyone!
So I haven't come across much in the past weeks that are inspirational too me, every time I see a photographer or an editorial, its just not 'original', I want to see something that will make me go WOW, but for now I have found these photos which reminded me of spring and I love colour so these photos are perfect for the spring/summer season. Colour blocking is still number one on my trend list, the colours are bright which defiantly creates a happy and vibrant atmosphere! These photos were shot by  Sebastian Kim.The above photo I am not quite sure which photographer took the photo, but I absolutely loved it!

Hey Readers, 

I thought I would write a little story for you all to read, the story relates with the images I took this week. Fortunately the weather was great and I took two photo-shoots, one for Alim, if you remember the visual artist I am collaborating with and one for this weeks post! Enjoy!

Natalia-Vodianova-MarioTestino-Vogue-US-March2012 

I am not just a big fan of fashion and photography but I do love Interior design too, and when I first saw these photos, that's all I could look at before even looking at the model and outfit! Just look at the walls, the textures and the big bold statement pieces, its so busy yet so tranquil. Mario Testino's Los Angeles  home is absolutely gorgeous. I really love the fact that the outfits are so textured to reflect the interior of the house, I just love the overall outcome of the images.

Fashionable but still affordable.

Hello my lovely readers...
So I wanted to talk to you all about how to look fashionable at an affordable price. As I know, money cannot buy style, I have seen it before and it isn't a pretty site. However you can still look stylish with affordable clothes and a few essentials.

Hey guys, so I found these images a few weeks ago and wanted to show you them. Is technology taking over? What do you think? Well I personally think the idea behind these photos are really unoriginal because thousands upon thousands of people have done photos about technology taking over BUT I love how these photos have been taken, the manipulation and just the overall atmosphere.

Hello my lovely Readers once again, 
Here are some random photos I took a while back. I really love night photography and only really got a chance to do it recently when I got my self a tripod. Hope you all like them! 


I have traveled allot though out my life, I got my first passport when I was 3 months old- my mother holding me from under my dress in a studio as I looked blankly in to the camera.
