When Ivory Flame ruffed it out

Welcome to a new week and a slight twist on a fashion look today. Back in March, as you'll no doubt remember, I set off a 6-day extravaganza across Europe in Alice, my little Porsche Boxster. With 7 shoots across that time and four countries taken in (excluding Blighty) it was all a bit of a blur. But I can't wait to do it all again next year!

You may also remember that this was my second shoot with Holly (Ivory Flame). I'd shot with her in February to try to get to grips with the very different shooting experience of the Leica SL2-S. If you've not seen it yet, why not have a gander below:

So this shoot in March was our second shoot and the start of my euro trip. Leaving home at 07:30 I blitzed down the M1 to the much reviewed and revered Aura Photographic Studio in Northamptonshire.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but a space with as many built sets, was not it. In my head, it had always been this large open space filled with natural light. What Emma has done with the place, though, is to create a playground where many looks and shooting styles can be had, or crafted. It's a delightful blend of staged and free-form. In addition, there's a cracking huge infinity cove!

Emma constantly rotates and changes these; a thing many studio owners don't do, which limits re-use of their otherwise great spaces for the travelling photographer! So kudos to Emma for doing that.

There are 15 images in this medieval fashion-esque look, and it's open to all membership tiers. Atrium membership support is free of charge, so you have nothing to lose by signing up for that.
