SurfacePhilia lifestyle shoot with Tom Burton Photography...

Yesterday was action packed AGAIN, going from digitally printing my first samples of fabric at CCAD to then rushing over to a photo shoot with professional photographer Tom Burton. Both of us in need of some new collaborations and exciting project work, we decided to use my latest bone china collections to put our skills to the test and expand our portfolios. 

I was kindly allowed to shoot inside Michael O'Connors furniture store and also use the furniture items to help set room scenes. After paying Northern Lights Interiors a visit for extra props, I used their antlers, turquoise glass vases and earthenware to help style my sets and sit up against the ceramics. 

The images below were taken and styled by myself, NOT Tom! Im sure his shots are going to be so much more amazing! These were experiments with compostions, themes and moods within the photographs.   

And a big thanks to Lucy Leaver and Adam Burton for their supreme assistance and patience on the day!
