Strumpet and Pink knickers shot by Elizia Volkmann at Tatton Park
It’s really satisfying as a photographer when work stands the test of time and images get their own fan base. One such shoot is the work I did for luxury lingerie designers Strumpet and Pink whose shoot was published last year in a very beautiful designed brochure by Vast Agency.
The location for the Strumpet and Pink Shoot was the beautiful Tatton Park in the heart of Cheshire, though it was quite a grizzly day sadly, we had had a very very wet August and not one day was good weather, thankfully they had a glass house called Fernery where we did the majority of the shoot and only when the squalls broke did we belt outside to shoot some exteriors but it really was a high speed chase, but the models bore it well enough.
Make up was done by Samantha Myers who is as ever my beloved collaborator and someone who continues to inspire and ignite my creativity as an art director and photographer we styled the shoot in Samantha created the hair and make up looks to not simply hark back to Louise Brooks’ flapper image but to be a contrast between a younger girl who is from the older age of Victoriana and Edwardian fashions with the flapper image
So my images seem to keep cropping up in blogs and the images themselves as well as the knickers themselves. Blogs even as far afield as California on the FrouFrou Fashionista Blogspot’s page about my very own pictures and the Lingerie facebook notes page seem to be fans, which is all very nice, it goes some way I guess for images to be iconic. Indeed it was my intention to make the shot of the “Flapper” girl in the ultramarine knickers by the pool to be as “iconic” as I could, but in the age of disposable images, what do we have to do as photographers to create iconic images? How much of it is our own self promotion, how much of it is pure luck?
