Oxfam Shoot

I recently got asked to do a TF shoot, or a “time for” shoot.

I don’t normally like to do these and only do them on very special occasions.

Turned out this was a special occasion. A friend of mine, Sam, runs FreeQ magazine (www.freeqmagazine.com) and wanted me to shoot some fashion shots for it. I like FreeQ, because it is a little different from your usual locally run, free publication. You get interviews with big named artist and photographers, and some really creative graphic covers that some of the national mags should really take notice of.

The story gets better though, as he wanted use clothing from an Oxfam shop. And not just any Oxfam shop. Nottingham has probably the best looking and trendiest Oxfam shop this side of London (can’t confirm this though!) and not only were we going to get the clothes from there, we would be using the shop as a location! The shop is really nice, with bold colours and a vintage feel and I knew we’d be able to get some great shots in there.

Check out the images in the fashion section of www.paullarkins.co.uk.

The images can also be seen on the last few pages of the latest issue of FreeQ (issue 11).


Special thanks go to these people for helping out on the day.
