Leicester Square, London, England, United Kingdom. Saturday 17th January 2015, around noon.
About the photograph.
With apologise to the lady in the photo, I have no idea what her name is. I did ask her for permissions to take photos and publish them, but I may have failed to ask her for her first name. If I did ask her, I may have failed to note down her name.
I was doing a photography project called Windy Street, as explained below, under the section heading of About the project.
She was the second person whom I approached, and asked if she have any objections to my taking photos of her for my project. She agreed and let me take the photos.
This was taken at approximately the north-east corner of the park at Leicester Square, in the background is the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square cinema.
I think she is a flyer / leaflet distributor, she was there to hand out leaflets about a show or an event, to members of the public. You can see what looks like leaflets or booklet in her hand. I believe she had that rose with her as part of an attraction, to draw attention to her.
At that time I took the photograph, it was a very cold weather, being in January. Here, you see she wears medium length fur coat fastened with buttons, a twisted scarf possibility made of wool, and ear muffins to keep her ears warm.
About the project.
The project called Windy Street, was to try to create some kind of an article about women’s winter fashion, focused on fur coats, with photos of real women as opposite to booked models.
The article was supposed to be a blog or a gallery, maybe try to get it published in a magazine or write a book about it.
The plan was to go to major cities like London, Birmingham, Cardiff, and anywhere like that. Go to main busy streets or plazas during the winter months. The aim was to be on the outlook for any women wearing a winter outfit including a fur coat, approach them, and explain that I’m a photographer doing a project.
I explained to them that I want to take photos of women whom are members of the public, not professional models. I explained that I wish to take photos of real life women wearing the outfits, to illustrate the reality of their fashion style.
Catwalk models may display an amazing looking outfit, but the design of the outfit often changes between the catwalk display to the actual production line. The project was to show the fur coats and the outfits as worn by members of the public, rather than as worn by catwalk models or professional models. To showcase the difference between design stage, adverting, and reality.
On that day of the photographs, I was in London. The first person I approached was a couple, a guy and a woman in a cream coloured fur coat. I told her about my project and asked her for permissions to take photos of her. She agreed, and I even asked the man who was with her, if he would not mind being in the photo too, he even agreed.
The Lady with the Rose, or the Rose Lady, was the second person I approached.
But at that time in 2015, I struggled with the project. Part of the reason was my self-confidence was down, but the main reason was because I was a busy full-time single parent and full-time carer. It was often difficult to get the ex-wife to agree to have both of the kids for the day, so I could go and do photo-shoots.
My project kind of stalled at first, then I kind of put it on the back burner while I do other projects, finally decided to shelf the project.

At the Hatton Court Hotel, Upton Hill, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Tuesday 5th December 2023.
About the photograph.
I booked Eirwen for a two hours photo-shoot in and around Gloucester, and the photo-shoot was split into two sections.
The first section lasting an hour, was an outdoor photo-shoot done outside the Hatton Court Hotel, just outside of Gloucester, with special thanks to the hotel staff for letting me use their location.
My idea was to take photos of Eirwen, dressed in a smart evening outfit and different fur coats, getting out of a car outside the hotel. The photos would be used as graphic design assets, illustrating a hotel advert.
This was a quick test shot when she changed to a different fur coat. The reason was I struggled with getting the camera’s settings correct, the black fur coat could have come out dull or something, so I asked Eirwen to simply stand there while I fire off a test shot to check I’ve got the white balance set correctly.
Of course, I forgotten about software. Having grow up with film, I’m used to making an effort to get the lighting right, before taking the shots, otherwise once the photos have been printed, it would look wrong. Sometimes some editing work by making adjustments during printing may help correct as much as possible.
But I forgotten that today, even when it is important to try to get your camera settings correctly set up, even if you took a shot and it came out wrong, you can always use software to correct it.
But nevertheless, here I am, taking a quick test shot to make sure the coat’s black colours come out right.
After the first section was done, I drove to a studio on the south-west side of Gloucester, for the second section, where I booked an hour at Studio Five Photography, for the indoor photo-shoot.

Car park at St Julian Inn, Newport, Wales, United Kingdom.
Maes parcio yn St Julian Inn, Casnewydd, Cymru.
Morning of Wednesday 8th February 2023.
Bore dydd Mercher 8 Chwefror 2023.
About the photograph.
Am y ffotograffau.
This is Olivia, a model I booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, at a car park outside of an inn, just to the north of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd).
Olivia is wearing a winter outfit containing of a Size L cream coloured faux fur jacket with hood from New Look.
She is also wearing a white cowl neck jumper, the design of the cowl gives the illustration of wearing a scarf.
She is posing behind a Land Rover Freelander, simply by leaning on the engine hood, and pose as if looking and thinking. In the background is the river, and there is a boat barely visual in the background.
Special thanks to the owner of the inn for giving me permissions to use the car park for on-location photo-shoot.
The vehicle is a 2005 Land Rover Freelander.
It is a diesel 2.0L Td4 SE model with manual gearbox, and a BMW M47 engine. The tyres are BF Goodrich T/A KO2 All Terrain tyres on steel wheels. The Freelander was an entry-level Land Rover from 1997 to 2006, before being replaced by the Freelander 2 until 2015.
As Olivia was booked for two-hours, we were at a different location only for 50 minutes before coming over to this location, and spent another 50 minutes here.
What is this all about?
This is the first in a series of a long-term project I started working on, which is called Project: Freelander Ladies. It is a variation of the so called Land Rover Girls type of photographs. Generally, the majority of the Land Rover Girls kind of photos tend to be of younger women posing next to mostly either the Series or the Defender production models, and less common are the Discovery or Range Rover models. There are barely enough photos of women posing next to a Freelander, so my aim is to create some, specially for the Freelander owners and fans to enjoy.
In addition to this being a “cars and girls” kind of photography which is the main role, there are other roles, including photographs needed for a graphic design project.

Somewhere in Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 14th March 2025.
Notice: The photo is not geotagged, and I won’t mention where exactly. This is out of respect for the models’ privacy and safety, if the photo-shoot is at or around their homes.
About the photograph.
This is Kylie Britain, a model I booked for a two hours outdoor photo-shoot.
She is seen posing in a casual winter style outfit demonstrating a white T-shirt, blue jeans tucked into below-knee length boots, and a large blue M&S faux fur coat. The blue fur coat is part of their M&S Collections range.
The photo was taken on the grounds of a former garden centre, long since closed down and knocked down.
Kylie is a model and actress, have appeared in various publication, and have her own video channel on her website.
About M&S.
Marks and Spencer, often commonly abbreviated as M&S, was formed in 1884 by Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer in Leeds, as a penny bazaar.
Over the next many years, they moved to different towns and cities, and had many market stalls around the North West of England. Spencer passed away in 1905, and Marks died in 1907.
Michael Marks’s son, Simon Marks became the chairman, acquired other penny bazaars, and the company grew into a retail empire.
They sold textiles and food, they also sold clothes under the St Michael brand, which was then dropped in 2000. M&S often sells quality food and clothes.

About the photograph.
Am y ffotograffau.
This is Olivia, a model I booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, outside of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd).
Here, she is posing in a winter outfit containing a size 10, long, light brown faux fur coat from Astraka of London, along with her own turtleneck jumper, jeans with shiny strips down the sides, and white trainers.
Here, she is posing outside of the Land Rover Freelander, in one photo, she is leaning on the car, and in the other, she is leaning on the driver door.
The vehicle is a 2005 registered Land Rover Freelander.
It is a diesel 2.0L Td4 SE model with manual gearbox, and a BMW M47 engine. The tyres are BF Goodrich T/A KO2 All Terrain tyres on steel wheels. The Freelander was an entry-level Land Rover from 1997 to 2006, before being replaced by the Freelander 2 until 2015.
The location is the car park next to St Julian Inn, on the south bank of the River Usk.
With special thanks to the manager/owner of St Julian Inn for giving me permissions to use the car park.
As Olivia was booked for two-hours, we stayed at this location only for 50 minutes before moving to another location. Nothing wrong there, just that I needed a change of background. Those will be uploaded to my Photostream in near future.
About the subject.
Am y pwnc.
Astraka of London was a faux fur manufacturer. It first started as Alfred Morris Furs in 1898 in London, before moving to Buckinghamshire in the 1940s.
By about the 1960s, the company employed about 400 people, and produced faux fur coats, selling to top shops like Selfridges and exporting all over the world.
But by about 1988, it went into receivership and closed down.
There are very limited details about the company on the Internet, specially as the company closed down before home Internet and the World Wide Web became more popular.

In my back garden, somewhere in Worcestershire, United Kingdom, on Tuesday 15th November 2016.
About the photograph.
This is Marie, known as LadyArtist on the model booking websites like PurplePort, where I found her from. I booked her for a two hours photo-shoot at my home.
She is posing in a cream coloured [UK] size 16 Dorothy Perkins faux fur coat. She is also posing in her own dark blouse and dark blue jeans tucked into her black knee-length boots. Here, she is posing next to the back wall of my house.
The first hour was an outdoors fashion themed photo-shoot, and during this time, she worn different fur coat outfits and styles, posed in different spots with different backgrounds. This phase of the photo-shoot was mainly fashion based, and also serve as assets for my graphic design projects.
The second hour was indoors, for glamour and kinky themed shoots.
You can see the other shoots in my Album titled LadyArtist.
As I am a deaf person with speech impaired, you would figure there would be communications difficulties between myself the photographer and her as the model. But despite the difficulties, we did get on well. She had left a positive review on my account on PurplePort.
Sadly she passed away about two years after this photo-shoot, and I was not aware of this, until about two years after her passing away, when I saw a memorial message on her profile on the model booking website.
She was a really great model, I had a great time working with her.
About the subject.
In 1909 Dorothy Perkins was founded in Leeds, in the United Kingdom, under the name of H. P. Newman & Co.
In 1916, they started using the Dorothy Perkins trading name, and by 1919, they opened their first Dorothy Perkins specialist shop for ladieswear, and over the years, they expanded to about 75 shops by 1939.
In the late 1970s, they expanded to about 275 shops, and a 70% shares in the boutique company Bibi. However, by 1979, Dorothy Perkins was sold to The Burton Group later known as the Arcadia Group.
But the Arcadia Group, owned by the wife of Philip Green, entered into administration in the early 2020s, with most of the brand names either closed down or sold off.
The online company Boohoo bought the Dorothy Perkins brand name, and it is now trading as an online store only.

Trees are like humans and they have different fashion wears for the four seasons.
I particularly like the winter fashion for them.
This is the tree in Van Dusen Garden.
