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

April Highlights and big news!

Little late with this blog, a dash of jetlag with a helping of toothache and I'm running a little behind on all my admin. Thank you for your patience! 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="">

In her kitchen

On her bed

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 ;)

Are you within a 3/4 hour drive of me? Then get a special lil discount before I move and I'll even come to you! http://purpleport.com/castings/107289/locals-get-me-at-a-special-rate--limited-dates-/

Workshop Fun Time with Shirley Nicklin

So I have had SO many images from delegates already, it's actually crazy! Thank you so much chaps and chap-esses! But the so talented Shirley was first so here are her images... I'm sure there are more to come.

Now Shirley and me, we share something. And I feel some what more bonded to her then all the other delegates I worked with over the 3 day workshop. This is simpley because when I got in the lake [my own silly suggestion] after a while of being very cold and covered in goosebumps I decided it was time a photographer got in with me. Of course everyone thought I was joking, but not Shirley. She got right on in tha tlake with me. GO GIRL!

I was working for the Tamara Peel workshop and I had an absolutely fantastic time. I have so many images to share with you. For now, here are some from my water baby friend Shirley. Check out her beautiful photography people - it's well worth it! Thank you Shirley.

Latest work for Lady Lucie

Nothing makes me happier then waking up in the morning and meeting the postman who has a nice parcel of goodies for me to shoot. Not least of all when the designer is Lady Lucie, who I have worked for on a few occasions now and whose garments are always amazing.This time it was a totally new design, a striped dress, she needed shooting asap to launch the item on her awesome website. I don't think we've ever had a such a quick turn around at Binkertson HQ! Anyway, check her out, you can find me in the dress section as well as the corsetry sections ^_^

Summer sun

Did these a wee while ago now, in the heat of the midday sun but I loves them. And I'm wearing clothes. Doubley weird. My fave is the top one but I like the others too....can't decide really! Part of a Team Binkertson project.
