lady with a camera: gen kay

It's been a while since I featured an awesome female photographer in my 'lady with a camera' series so I thought it was time to get back on the program and share the work of the very talented Australian fashion photographer Gen Kay.

She started out her career in Japan, making a name for herself there and then in her homeland, shooting for magazines including Vogue Japan, Nylon Japan and Lula. She has recently started to focus on shooting short films with a super 8 camera. Check out her website to see more of her work.

lady with a camera: sarah maingot

The work of photographer Sarah Maingot takes me to another place. These images have such a nostalgic air to them which I just can't get enough of. Not to mention how unbearably adorably that dear little rabbit is above (just wait til you see the teddy bear below too!)

They seem to conjure up days gone by, a forgotten era, and highlight the simple pleasures in life. At the risk of sounding hideously cheesy, they really do give me a warm, cosy feeling inside. Despite it being the height of summer here in London, they are almost making me look forward to autumn and the cold winter nights drawing in. And I am totally, definitely a summer not a winter person so that says a lot! Oh and how amazing is that tipee...

lady with a camera- catherine servel

I'm really liking the work of fashion photographer Catherine Servel. I discovered her on the website of the agency which represents her- D+V Management. These are a selection of my favourites from her portfolio of images.

I have a degree in fashion (Fashion Promotion to be exact), which I studied at The London College of Fashion. Although my life at the moment could not be further away than the glitzy, intense and heady world of high fashion, I still like to immerse myself in the images every now and then. Usually it's the mood of the whole picture, the location of the shoot and the colours, not always the specific clothes that catch my eye and draw me to a particular shot.
