Getaway Girls is a wonderful charity based in Leeds that works with young women aiming to increase their confidence, self-esteem and skills base. I've worked with the charity on various commissions over the last couple of years and so was delighted to be asked to work with some of the girls (and token boy!) on a fashion project they had just finished. The focus of the project had been looking at recycling clothing through clever alterations - not only a brilliant way to save money but also very eco-friendly... The shoot took place in Harehills in Leeds which is where many of the young people live - we were blessed with some really fab lighting and so with a clever bit of creative flash were able to use the back to back terraces and famous Leeds red brick walls to great effect.
Hi - thanks for stopping by to visit my blog. It's wonderful to be able to share a little bit of my work with you and hopefully give you more of a feel for me and my approach to photography than a website ever could... Although weddings are a huge part of my life I also get involved in a diverse range of photography commissions - from newborn babies and family portraits through to Bar Mitzvahs and charity events - every week is very different.
Do drop me a comment on the blog or get in touch via my website if you'd like to say hi!
Over and out... Olivia x
