BEAUTY AND THE BRAND: Exbury Gardens, Southampton.

My concept for my Editorial is that it's been inspired by Cinderella. I am still struggling to explain how and why this is relevant, but in my head it makes sense. My model will not appear like Cinderella. The poses, locations and storyline is much like and inspired by Cinderella. It will not be in your face fairytale, but I have tried to source locations and outfits that will give an indication of a concept behind the images. I hope once my images are done, I can finally explain how and why it works!

"Exbury Gardens is around 30 minutes from Southampton and is a charitable company registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. (Registration number 801349). The gardens offer woodland walks and world famous displays of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias. Art and sculpture exhibitions are regularly held. Since 2001 there has been a miniature steam railway which follows a scenic route through parts of the gardens previously inaccessible to the public"- Exbury Gardens and Steam Railway, Online Website. http://www.exbury.co.uk/About_Us.html

I have fallen in love with Exbury Gardens, and after liaising with the events coordinator, we have come to a mutual decision for me to be able to shoot here, with a small fee of just paying entry which I am super grateful about.

I have made a collection of images to put on my phone and a map of the gardens to make sure I visit where I need to during my time at Exbury Gardens, I have found, after spending several hours searching through thousands of images, certain places I would love to take some pictures.
