Angel Jackson
Clare’s latest look book for Angel Jackson was so beautifully described by Nylon it leaves little more for us to say, other than that Clare not only took the pictures but came up with the concept too... It’s not that the bags themselves aren’t beautiful; on the contrary, they’re about the most tasteful display of luxe materials we’ve seen in a while…But it was the lookbook that had us smitten. Described as ‘mutiny in 1960s suburbia’ the photos are like a series of outtakes from Love in the Afternoon, where Audrey Hepburn whiles away her days in the hotel room of an American playboy.

Kaleidoscope Eyes
From 6th March to 19th April Gemma Booth’s exhibition The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes will be showing at The Old Shoreditch Station, 1 Kingsland Road, E2. Presented by Roxy Heart, the exhibition is one part of a joint exhibition with photographer Valerie Philips. ‘Gemma’s playful and evocative photographs join the dots between fantasy and reality. Her characters inhabit a dreamlike alternative world, where rose-tinted memories mix freely with fairy tales and science fiction. Like the pages from a half-remembered storybook, her photographs offer a reminder of the pleasure of escape and the power of imagination. A treasure trove of daydreams to lose yourself in.’

Fuck Art Let’s Dance
Elaine shot these fashion portraits for Let Them Eat Cake Magazine after they interviewed her for their latest issue. It was a chance to shoot real people on the dance floor, caught in a moment of complete abandon. “I wanted to do something that felt raw and emotional. High-end fashion magazines just wouldn’t publish something like this nowadays; which shows how far things have changed since the 90s.” A selection of these images have been chosen for inclusion in the group show Traumfrauen: Beauty in the 21st Century, currently showing at the House of Photography in Hamburg.
