Brighton was a revelation....just the most friendly place ever, the quirkiest shops including one which advertised Vegetarian shoes for sale! I stayed at a gorgeous Bed and Breakfast about 2 minutes walk from the sea, run by Alan and Ollie, who even sent me a welcome text the day before to check I had all the details! Check their website! I was treated to a fluffy dressing gown, a stick of Brighton Rock on my pillow and bacon butties for breakfast!
Heres some of my favourite images of Brighton ..... just click on the image if you want to see it bigger - they look much better bigger!!!!!
The beach....what a stunning beach - this is where I was stood, checking e mails on my phone(yes I am that sad!!) and finding out that an image of mine has made it through to the National awards run by BIPP - British Institute of Professional Photographers.... so if there are a couple of slightly out of focus images its cos I was crying!!!!!!
So, the day of the Workshop - I am going to let the images do the storytelling - it was decadent, beautiful, stylish and fun.....oh and cold!!!! I met a great bunch of people, got inspired to try new things, drank pink champagne and loved it all !!
I am afraid this has been a photography overload.... I managed to gets migraine at the end of the workshop and still feeling just a little under the weather - but looking at all of these has cheered me up! It was a long way to go .....but was well and truly worth it!
So....ladies....get those frilly knickers and corsets out, give me a shout and we can get you to star in your own burlesque style photoshoot......come on.....you just know that you want to!!!
Thank you to everyone invovled in putting this workshop together - I certainly know just how much work it takes to put something like this together and I hope that you are all really proud of what you have achieved xxx

I'm so gutted that I couldn't make this! I loved Brighton when I visited and wished I had been able to stay for longer to take some snaps!
The B& B sounds fab!
Hope to see you soon

LOVVVEEEEEEE this blog post ♥ I love the street photography...the beach photography...but most of all the Burlesque photography {I so wish I was a Burlesque Dancer} And congratulations on the image :)
Fabulous Dahling!!!! It was such a pleasure - and giggle - to meet you!!!
Jo, apart from the migraine it sounds just perfect. If I should ever go to Brighton I will try to stay at that B&B, the website's just wonderful and I do love your pictures. All of them. Especially those of the pier and the burlesque session ones. I just wish... Well, they are fantastic! :o)
