Annie’s Red Dress

Regular readers may remember a photo I did last year for a competition called Aspiring Angel. The model for that shoot was my good friend Annie. At the time, Annie created the outfit she wore specifically for the shoot, however due to concentrating on getting the shot that I needed for the competition, I wasn’t able to get the photos of the outfit she wanted for her design folio. I told her I’d reshoot whenever she wanted.

Last week Annie collected on the favour I owed her. Rather than shoot the angel outfit, she asked me to photograph a gorgeous and stylish red evening dress that she designed and made for a design assigment. Battling a cold, I met her in the Manchester Unity building arcade in the city, to photograph the vintage style dress in the stunning art-deco era building. Below are a few of my favourite photos from the shoot. If you would like to read Annie’s journal entry on the dress, you can find that here.
