I got to know Kay Desmond originally when she was looking to have some portraits taken of her. I said I would be happy take them on the condition that she let me do a shoot with her fabulous garments that she designed. After a few false starts, we managed to get the fantastic Emma Rice who is represented by Oxygen to model and the über talented and lovely Sandra Bermingham to do hair and makeup, both of whom I hadn’t worked with before. I know Sandra loves getting a scorecard at the end of a shoot, but I will refrain on this occasion and just say that I enjoyed the day and think we got some great results. We were lucky enough to be allowed to shoot in and around the Real Tennis club that is situated in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace thanks to a mum of a friend. It kept us out of the cold and I think proved to be a great backdrop for Kay’s creations. Obviously Kay’s garments are for sale, so give her a nudge if you would like to find out where you can buy one or would like to stock them in your store!
