Welcome to my online portfolio. This is a site to display work done through-out my university education, and anything undertaken since.

I am 21 and at the end of my university education. I am just finishing a top-up degree in Performance (costume and make-up). I would like to specialise in costume and corsetry.

I am a keen sewer, and enjoy many different aspects of sewing. I can use commercial patterns as well as drafting my own.

Shakespearean Portrait

Our first Make-up and Costume brief of the university semester was to find a Shakespearean Portrait and re-create it. I chose a miniature of Lady Jane Grey to reproduce.
Original:

 My image:
When the original photo was taken I was not particularly pleased with how it came out as the lighting was completely different to the original portrait.  Once I managed to get hold of the images, I played about with the lighting on the image in Photoshop and managed to make it look a lot more like the original.  I'm very please with how it came out this time and I feel that it looks much better than the photo taken on the day.
