Last week, headed up to Abergavenny in Wales for a photoshoot. A mammoth photoshoot which lasted all of seven days! Great experience though and hundreds of photos taken (now it's a job to wade through them all to find the FOUR we need!).
Whilst Steve Peake was happily photographing away, Charles Lester was indulging his passion of "art photography" - basically: two photographers, each with their own remit, one "model" in Lester Couture!
One of the "scenes" was a spare room in the Lester Home (a beautiful rambling Edwardian home on an estate outside of Abergavenny in Wales) and on the bed was a gold bedspread - I was duly informed that this bedspread took five people just over five months to make and it retails for - wait for it - £45,000. You'll understand why when you see it and if you own one, then do let me know as I'm now intrigued as to what it must be like to have a bedspread that costs £45K!
The Lesters are incredibly talented international couturiers and the clothes are just out of this world. I'm a "big girl" and yet, in their couture, I feel and look like a supermodel. There is no other way to describe this incredible clothing and the interior furnishings they create are so opulent and sumptuous - I felt like I was in a movie!
I'll start by putting up a few of the rough (non-edited) photos but will ultimately replace them on here with the final four photos we do choose.
These images will be sent to Vogue, Queerplanet and Mavista Images Magazine. So, hold thumbs and cross toes I do choose the "right" ones.
Charles Lester has already posted one of the images he took on: www.world-of-opera.co.uk
Have an amazing day all.
Big Hugs and Blue Skies.
