Recently the studio was given over to a day of burlesque shoots. In the morning I had the pleasure to welcome Miss Phoenix back to the studio…her third shoot with me in the past twelve months. We were shooting publicity shots for her flyers.

As her shoot drew to a close, the troupe from House of Burlesque arrived. For the past three years I have sponsored House of Burlesque’s popular Burlesque Idol competition, which goes from strength to strength showcasing and promoting new talent. I have previously shot with two of the trio who arrived, Miss Betsy Rose and Jolie Papillon, but it was good to finally meet HoB’s director Tempest Rose.
Shipwrecked
The brief was to shoot publicity for their Shipwrecked show. Tempest was excited to see the plethora of nautical props available at the studio. Although we did not need to use all of them the studio has two genuine ship’s wheels,a vintage life preserver, ship’s barrel, telescopes, captain & sailor hats, mooring ropes, anchor…well, you get the idea!
The primary publicity shot used their own prop cases – and you can see the finished result below.
