Home from Kenya




So I am officially home from Kenya. Safe and sound and back to the typically miserable and cold English weather (which is a bit of a killer when you have been use to 33 degree temperature at night) I had a fantastic time there and the place itself is just beautiful. The people are so friendly and polite, even though most of them have very little when it comes to possessions, clothing or house facilities they are always cheery and content with their lives. Which made me realise how lucky I am as a person and how I want to take every opportunity in life that I can, because I have the option and the ability to.

Are hotel had a beautiful white sand beach with clear blue waves rolling in to the shore. We also had in house monkeys who lived within the hotel grounds. They were funny little characters and cheeky as hell, if you turned your head for long enough they would totally have their head in your drink in no time! Whilst out in Kenya we also went on Safari in the biggest safari park there is – Tsavo East National Park. It was a fantastic life experience and it is probably one of my best to date. Seeing the animals in their natural environment was completely different and amazing. We manage to spot four of the big five whilst out there. The big five are – Lions,elephants,leopards,cheetahs and rhino. We managed to get up close to all of these animals, apart from the Rhino as the park only have 10 and none have ever been spotted by anyone here, so it was never going to happen. We were really over whelmed with what we saw on this two day adventure and I would advise any one to do it if they were given the opportunity as it is fantastic.

Now that I am home though it all seems like a dream as it is straight back to work for me now. Booking shoots and attending rehearsals. Just the standard daily grind….

It's my favourite time of year again...

So Halloween is upon us and all the shops are filled with fun cookey things that coax you into buying them, as they are just too damn cute to leave at the check out! All Hallows eve is the best holiday of the year as it is filled with tales and traditions, although it has become more commercialised now then it use to be. My pumpkin is ready to go, with the image of Jack Skelleton ready to be carved out of it. Also my costume for this year is going to be based on the traditional Sugar Skull although of course with my own twist on it! I look forward to sporting this make up, and sharing the pictures with you!
I wish you all a Happy Halloween, and remember do not allow yourself to be tricked by the spirits that are allowed to roam the earth this one frightful night a year ;)

When in France....



The France troupe

I have recently just come back from a week long shoot in France. The assignment was to model wedding dresses for an up and coming dress hire company called Jessica Louise. I was accompanied by four other models, a photographer and a the photographers assistant. The whole week was such a laugh, but we also we worked hard and got the images we needed. I learnt a lot whilst being in this environment. How different people work and model and the ideas that people come up with. It helped me grow as a model and understand what I want from the career and what I need to put in to get it. It is safe to say I know now that main stream jobs such as modelling wedding dresses is not where my career lies. I like to have fun and use expressions and that type of modelling doesn't fall into the above bracket. I have realised now since being home that the more alternative side of the industry is where my modelling lies and now I will be working hard to find jobs that meet this requirement. Although the week was fun and I made great contacts and friends, I realise now that that kind of job is not for me. It's all about the wacky and interesting jobs from now on....

Harley Baby

This set of four photos are one of my favourite things I have in my current portfolio. They were taken by the fabulous Nandi Forward - Nitemare Photography. We shot on a white Harley Davidson and the clothing was lent to us by the clothing brand Boom! Boom! Baby! I really enjoyed shooting this set of photos with Nandi and we have many ideas for future collaborations that I can not wait to get to work on.

Coming to the end of an era...




I have endured three years of leotards,tights,ballet buns,slick back hair,false eyelashes,stage make up,tears,tantrums,laughs and endless amounts of sweat. I finally graduated Reynolds Performing Arts with the title Professional dancer. I enjoyed my three years at dance college but have learnt now that the most important part of your training comes afterwards, in the real world. There are things you can not be taught at college and if you let yourself become immersed by the college bubble it is a real shock to the system. Luckily for me I always tried to keep myself real and never allowed this to happen, so it has not been so much of a surprise for me as I imagine it has been for others. The truth is life is what you make it and if you are willing to fight for something, you will achieve it. It doesn't matter if it happens right at this moment in time or two years later. As long as you work your hardest and are proud of what you do and enjoy it, who cares what everyone else is doing or even thinks? You need to please yourself and worry not about others as they have their own paths and life choices to make...

Miss Iron Fist 2012...


Copyright Alan Martin



So I know I have been bad and neglected my blog yet again, but life seems to be getting in the way of me updating...

Some really exciting things have been happening to me lately and I just haven’t found the time to stop and write about them. I am currently in the first heat of the Miss Iron Fist competition (I could always use more votes so head over via the link and like my photo, I would appreciate it) I am really shocked that I got this far as I am sure they had a lot of applicants as it is such a big clothing brand. I think the problem with me is that I underestimate what I actually can do and how 'good' I actually am. The worst part is I wasn’t even going to apply as I didn’t feel my photos would be 'good enough', but obviously I have been proven wrong!

Right now I am currently excited for life and everything it has in store for me. I have a lot of exciting things in the pipe line and I am just taking and enjoying every opportunity as it comes...
