Tuesday 24th May
The son of Paul Weller is soon to be releasing his first single, available for download only. So he enlisted the help of his photographer friend, Harley Moon Kemp (son of Martin Kemp) to shoot the cover image, and myself to do his make-up. We were shooting in Harley's family home in Rickmansworth, where she has a great studio space downstairs. As Natt was about two hours late due to problems with the wardrobe, I got to have some nice chats with Harley, and she showed me some of her recent work. She mainly shoots celebrities but I was really impressed by her recent fashion shoots. There was a gorgeous test that she had shot with a model from M&P, which had taken place in this beautiful garden house in her back garden. All the clothes and accerories were vintage (Harley's Mum collects vintage stuff, and she also styled the shoot), and the images were so pretty. She definately hasn't done well just because her Dad is famous!
So back to Natt, when he finally arrived we had a chat about what he wanted, and he wanted it keeping quite natural. I was expecting to do something quite full on as he is known for wearing dark eye make-up, but he is trying to get away from that and wanted to keep it simple for the cover. So I just did flawless skin, a bit of coffee pencil smudged under the eyes, and balm on the lips, and he looked great. He's got a great look, and he knows what he wants so it was an easy shoot!
