Harvey Nichols Istanbul Campaign

Thursday 11th August

Another day assisting Mr Babsky. I love working with him, he is soooooo easy to get along with and you can just be yourself around him. Just how I like it, and how it should be! I was up at 5am to make my way over to a West London location. We were leaving for Aynhoe Park at 7am sharp, where we arrived around 9am. The house at Aynhoe Park was quite extraordinary to say the least! James Perkins is the current owner, he has decorated the rooms with taxidermy, Gothic touches, one of the world's greatest collections of plaster casts, and assorted artifacts which fully indulge a sense of theatre. It was like something out of a movie!

There was three models altogether, two girls and one boy. Both girls wore the same look which was quite strong- a dark smoky eye and a red shiny lip. It was a really long day, only eight different outfit changes, but it took a really long time. Each shot was in a different room so there was a lot of setting up to do for each one. We didn't leave there until 11:30 pm, I didn't get in until gone 1:30 am but it was well worth it!
