FIABE!

Fiabe simply means " fairytale " in Italian.

We shall draw our inspiration from the most-loved Italian Fairy Tales, made famous in the movie Tale of Tales, which just happens to be one of my all-time favourites! If you haven't seen it, I urge you to as it is a magical masterpiece!

Full of magic, enchantment and mystery we shall be recreating three of the most well-known characters from 'Tale of Tales'. The single-minded, majestic Queen willing to eat the heart of a sea monster for a beloved child of her own, a spoilt and ultimately sacrificial Princess, all because her father the King, was obsessed with a flea and a wise woman of the woodlands with her powerful bags of magical elixirs and potions including the elusive fountain of youth…!

As always, the emphasis will be on creating fine-art, painterly images with impact and energy to enhance your visual storytelling.

As always, I work on a first come, first served basis

BOOK ME IN!

Join our friendly family of Creative Photographers

These very special events are suitable for creative photographers of ALL abilities, new and experienced and are also a great opportunity to make new friends as well as up your photography game.

All we ask is that you know how to use your camera as we will not be covering camera basics. I recommend that you bring a DSLR, a couple of your favourite lenses (I use either 35mm, 50mm or 24-70mm lens.) And if you have a particular prop you’d like to use to bring your own unique ideas to life, you are more than welcome to!

Full details of the photoshoot will be sent to you a week before the event is due to take place in order to fully prepare you.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

The total cost is £195 and you can secure your booking with a deposit of £100 with the balance of £95 being due 7 days before. Tea, coffee and refreshments plus toilet facilities are available. Please ensure you read the event Terms and Conditions as your booking confirms you have read and understood these.
In 2025, there will be ONE session and a MAXIMUM of just 6 photographers in attendance for the duration. This ensures the event doesn’t run on for too long and that the model is always focused on working closely with her photographers. I always work hard to ensure everyone gets quality one-to-one shooting time with the model and encourage individuality for each photographer. After all, who wants the same shots as everyone else!
Popular events that sell out quickly will be held again but with different variations on the outfits to keep everything fresh and to avoid repetition. We don’t do boring at the studio!
As always, I will spend a lot of time designing the ‘look’ and the set plus, pay a lot of attention to the little details that make my events so popular. You can be sure the model will be dressed in bespoke costumes, vintage dresses and have a variety of unique props for you to use if you wish.
THE PRIMARY AIM OF MY STYLED SHOOTS IS TO PROVIDE THE PHOTOGRAPHERS SOMETHING UNIQUE. Everyone is encouraged to think about how they can use the set up to create something that is INDIVIDUAL AND BESPOKE. After all, who wants to have the same images as everyone else??!
The handpainted backdrops all beautifully frame and support the timeless fine-art aesthetic that is so well-loved by portrait photographers and artists throughout the world and I’ll change up the lighting to suit the theme as always to bring the best out of the photoshoot.
Yes! You are also welcome to use the props I have in the studio to ensure your images are unique and tailor made to your own interpretation of the sets.
Please do let me know in advance if you wish to bring your own and ensure you read the Terms and Conditions.
Don't worry! I am on hand to help you with any adjustments you need to make to either your camera settings or lighting. Although I can't cover basic camera training at the session, I'll always help with your settings to ensure your images are correctly exposed. Oh, and I’m a dab hand at throwing fabrics around! ;)
