Behind the Scenes behind the scenes
on our autumn fashion shoot by Gemma Latham
Photographer Sven and model Coral check out how the shots are looking.

It’s always a worry shooting outdoors in England. I develop an obsessive compulsion for checking the met weather app in the days leading up to a shoot, but on this occasion we were lucky. After a misty drizzle in the morning, there were clear skies over our beautiful location in the grounds of Bramall Hall, near Stockport.
We gathered at photographer Sven’s house at 7am for coffee and hot porridge. Hair & make-up artist, Nita, prepped model Coral whilst I steamed the clothes and packed up some shoot essentials such as clips, grips, baby wipes and energy snacks.
So much preparation goes into a fashion editorial: coming up with a concept, making mood boards, doing a location scout and collecting all the clothes is days (sometimes weeks) of work in itself, so by the day of the shoot everyone involved is excited to see all the elements finally come together.
Sven had done a location reccy and taken snapshots of the different backgrounds he wanted to use, so I was able to plan in advance which outfits to shoot in each setting. This helped the day to run smoothly and we were able to shoot nine different ensembles.
After a long 12 hour day we called it a wrap and just made it back to the cars before the heavens opened! I breathed a sigh of relief that all the clothes were safe and dry, then everyone headed home for some well-earned take-away and chill time.
Having moved here from France three days earlier, my new housemate Laura (left) didn’t expect to find herself standing in a pool holding a light during her first week here! She was a huge help.
