A Heated House

So often models get a bit chilly in order to get 'the shot'... but not on this shoot with Niall who had gained access to an amazing location that also head central heating! Music to any models ears! Most of my work at this time of the year is studio based so it was great to be able to do something a bit different without packing the thermal longjohns & wellies ;)

I think Niall captured some fab images using the natural light available. You can read his blog about it HERE or see more of his portfolio HERE. He's always great to work with and the shoot always flies by as a wonderful collaborative effort. Thanks Niall!


I'm over in Ireland regularly so if you'd like me to hop over to work with you let me know! I'm also coming over with Ivory Flame this year for some duo work. If you'd like to book me or the two of us let me know - madamebink@googlemail.com

Until then loves, let me know which shots you like best so I can get them on my portfolio :) xx

Why hello 2016

Hello hello!

It's great to be here! I've been the length of the country [almost literally] already this year. From shoots in Cornwall to Banff Scotland, with a dash of Belfast, London and Dublin too. Phew! Great stuff!

I can't share all the images at once unfortunately. It'd just be too much! So I'm going to do a photographer or a city at a time until I'm all caught up. Expect many updates.

I'm starting with my first Conceptual Studio Day event from back in February. I'm running these throughout 2016, taking models you know and adding a twist. A full team of professionals is behind every event, from location, to lighting, to styling to make up - it's covered. Simply turn up! Co-Model for the début of my Model Morphosis was my partner in crime Ivory Flame. The theme was 'Dark Romance' elegant dresses, seductively dark make up and a wonderful location. We had 3 photographers join us for a sold out day of fabulous creative imagery! Big thank you to all involved <3 br="">

April Highlights and big news!

Spending todays sunny bank holiday inside, answering emails, planning my tours and sending out my newsletter! If you'd like to be added to my newsletter for offers and the first to know of my travel plans then just send me your email address to madamebink@googlemail.com

SO! April.... took me all over the shop as usual! From Milton Keynes and Hemel Hempstead to Singapore infact. I do like racking up dem miles ;) I've not had many photos back from this month so far, but I have some I love that I can share with you here ^_^

These are by Karen Jones, the same Karen Jones that was adamant only moments before that she didn't shoot boudoir and didn't do 'beds'... well... I think you've proved yourself wrong here Karen! I frickin' loves this! Really wonderful to see you back shooting and looking forward to France <3 br="">

And this is a selfie from Singapore... I was staying in the Ritz Carlton Millenia Hotel in Marina Bay offering amazing views! Unfortunately selfies were tricky owing to having only myself any my camera. No remote for taking the photos or light, so on timer it went and lots of running about and long exposure times ^_^ Here's just one for now, I'll try and get another done soon! This one was a 10 second exposure *phewie*

The big news is that I have set my move date. I'll be back top end in The Lake District as of the first week in July! Soooo people of the South... check out my dates and book me soon before my trips are yearly rather than monthly ;)

February Highlights

The months not out yet and I still have a studio day to go along with a couple of other shoots but couldn't resist posting this blog now! This month has seen me up as far as Newcastle and as far south as Weston-Super-Mare... on the same tour ;) 886 miles [not inc the bloomin diversions...] and 3 shoots in 6 days, one of which was 2 days long... Here's my picture story from Falmouth to Newcastle and places in between! If you could help me pick out some favourites to add to my portfolios again, then that would be awesome! Thank you!

First up Bocote from our shoot together in Mayfield Studio, Newcastle. Make Up By Kristina. Nudes, lingerie and latex. I love diversity on a shoot, and to date Bocote and I had always worked on location, usually focusing on art nude, so it was great to create some different styles together. Very much looking forward to our shoot in Sept in the Lake District with THE most amazing line up ;)

Andy Green was my gracious host oop Norf and we had 3 days shooting together. Andy has an amazing live/work space [inc underfloor heating ladies!] and creates these elaborate sets for you to pose in. Very interesting shoots with Andy as I'm not usually around when people create sets so it was great to see this way of working. He also has the most amazing range of outfits and props! You'll never run out of things to shoot if you work with Andy :D Thanks also for your hospitality Andy!

 My last stop was Weston-Super-Mare. I drove down the night before and had a wonderful catch up with the beautiful Anita De Bauch, who like me has relocated in the South West. She's in Somerset so everytime I am leaving/returning to Cornwall we try and meet up and this time was no different. If you want a pro model Anita is in easy reach of the South Coast, Bristol, Wales and Gloucestershire. Thanks for putting me up and letting me indulge in kitty cuddles my lovely!

My shoot in W-S-M was with two photographers, Porlus and Niall. We shot a range of latex, lingerie, portraits and fashion nude works. It was so much fun, a really lovely way to end my tour and completing the mammoth round trip back to my man and my pooch. Thank you for a great shoot you two! [Still can't believe I got the car out that space...]

These by Porlus.

Lastly, I was reviewing old images that I have taken yesterday and beautiful Ivory Flame reminded me of this image I had never edited. Taken at the Pit and Pendulum last year with the camera on timer and balanced on a chair and Major having been convinced he didn't need to photo bomb every darn shot. I have a few more of these that I'll post another time...

When Flamer uploaded this to purpleport she called it 'Got my Back' with this caption 'With my art nude partner, the brilliant Madame Bink, from our first session at the awesome Pit Studio last year!' I couldn't give it a better name. This was taken whilst I was in the throws of confusion, trying to get a roof over my head, money in my pocket and dealing with heart ache. There for me every step of the way with a place to sleep, clothes for me to wear and endless love and encouragement to return to modeling full time and move forwards happily. Thank you for always for always being the one who's 'Got my Back'.

January Highlights

January saw me on a brief jaunt to Wales and Gloucestershire and I've had some of the images back already to share with you... More to follow soon...

Some images from Miss Salleh Sparrow. More of her work here >>click me<< Sally and  make up artist James were both great to work with, and Sally and her partner Jack were even kind enough to put Major and I up for a night too. Hope to work with this wonderful team again soon! These images will be featured in the next edition of Face On Magazine. Can you spot my pooch Major? ;)

My first studio shoot of the year was with Roj Smith. You can see his work here >>click me<< Roj was easy to work with and I very much enjoyed my time with him. Hopefully next time we will be able to do a mix of studio and location work but the gale force winds stopped us this time!

Welcome on board to 2015

 Hello 2015-ers!

I hope you all had a wonderful evening last night, however you chose to celebrate. The turning of the year traditionally calls upon us to reflect on the year past, make changes and improve ourselves during the year ahead. We privately or publicly make promises to that extent. It's always great to hear other people's insights and ideas, so I wonder what your new year resolutions are this year?  

My main goal for this year is to get my website back online - only new and improved. It will have a members section with tutorials and concept shoots, better galleries and means to book me straight away through the site. Also to set up a sister site to focus more on everything else life offers. I get asked a lot about travel, being nomadic, messages from sisters from around the world etc I've started featuring more personal information on my Instagram. Find me there as 'Madame Bink'. I included two photos of how I chose to spend my transition into 2015 as well as how I started my first morning of the year. 

I spent the first half of my evening showering and cleansing. Reflecting on the year that's past. It's been a roller coaster of a year 2014. 

Life was hard for a while and many people showed me kindnesses I could never have expected. Housing my pooch and I, welcoming me back to modelling full time and showing me friendship. Message of support came to me from across this little world of ours and I was moved and humbled by it. 

It became immediately apparent who my friends were. As is always the case in times of hardship. From family, long term friends and people I really hardly knew. You know who you are and thank you. Any one who likes my modelling, supports it and enjoys it... We all thank you. I wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't for those friends who helped me start a new.

A special, special thank you has to go to my beautiful, wonderful Ivory Flame. Who instantly offered me housing, clothing, food and encouragement to get back on my feet despite the heart ache. She looked after Major so I could work, took me to airports and held my hand when I needed a friend. There's not really any words to explain what she did for me this year. But I'm back, and that's thanks to her. Thank you again beautiful soul sister.

But from what seemed like total disaster spawned a new chapter. My year started scared, in survival mode needing to earn money and get a roof over our heads and heart broken. Then I passed my driving test and converted a transit into a camper and began touring my modelling again properly with my pooch Major. He liked waking up in forests and beside beaches as much as I did! I scratched the wanderlust itch and took one of my soul sisters to Italy for a surprise 21st birthday gift to her. And in September I returned to my home. The place that calls to me. I went back to the Lake District. Asked to photograph an event (Grasmere Guzzler) I was supremely lucky enough to meet a man there who I've fallen in love with. And that's who I ended 2014 with. 

Wrapped up in my partners arms. Giving and receiving love well past midnight. We had decided to stay in and not face the crowds but only as the night drew in did we decide to create a sacred space with candles and incense to beckon in the new year together. It was the most unique, intimate and perfect New Year's Eve I've ever had. My year ended in love, supported and happy. I've been very lucky to receive such love and support from my partner. Thank you. 

I've embraced the good and the lessons of 2014 and I'm going in 2015 happier than ever before.

We slept a little and then bundled ourselves into the car to watch sunrise at St Michael's Mount. It's around 45 mins from us and this an early start! But such a beautiful way to start the year. It was windy and cloudy but refreshing and beautiful. Major enjoyed the freedom on the beach as of course there wasn't many people about at that time! 

And there we have it. Hello 2015. I've got high expectations and big dreams for you. To all I saw in 2014 - thank you for being a part of my journey and sharing your time with me on shoots and in coffee shops. Thank you. I hope we see each other again this year.

Lots of love to you who have made it this far! Well done ;) Hope to see you this year :) 

Blue in Sweden

This year I was lucky enough to head over to Sweden to shoot with Technical Boy! I always love working with Dan, we never have that much of a plan but we always get some great shots and have lots of fun along the way. You can see some of our other work together on his shiney nice website here.

These images were shot in my shower room. I was staying in a super nice hotel, all very minimalist and funky. The shower sporting dark grey tiles and and blue perspex panel [to the right of the image] hence the blue theme to these images. 

We got SO manay amazing photos that I love love love that trying to narrow them down into a blog is almost rhidiculous. So expect more then one blog of these, and please give me feedback as to which your faves are to help me narrow it down for my portfolios. I'm really struggling and your feedback is vital! 

If you click on photos they will appear huge in a new window - giant Bink warning.
