Kelsie the Burlesque Performer

Leading By Example

Me But Better is such a fun project but it can be quite hard to get into it in a more serious manner, thinking about the kind of skills you are using and also about the kind of photograph you are producing and why.

On Friday, I decided to do a hands on demonstration, dressing up, posing and giving directions to my volunteer photographer.

 Thanks to Beckii for the beautiful spotty dress I am wearing, Caroline for some of the amazing props and Jess for her skillful photography.

Here are the results of my demonstration session. I had fun and learnt a lot, I hope you guys did too!

Next Project

Here's a sneaky peak of what is in store this week in our new project: 'Me But Better.'

Genevieve Thauvette is a contemporary photographer. Find out more by clicking here; Genevieve's F'book page!

Perhaps consider unusual angles to create a totally different kind of self-portrait. Get creative and you will soon see that the sky is the limit!

Props, backdrops and costumes are all going to be an important part of the week. So if you have any wacky hats, weird wigs or funky clothes that you could contribute then please do bring them in!

See you tomorrow :)
