Jordan and I feature in this Tarantino-inspired photoshoot, using colours from his films and work. Quentin Jerome Tarantino is an American filmmaker whose films are known for stylised violence, long stretches of dialogue (often with profanity) and references to popular culture. Quentin is a master of his work, and I wanted to bring his TIMELESS films to life in these pictures.

Our amazing model Jordan has a face like no other. The unique look and structure of his features gave so much to this shoot, and we were so blessed to work with such a great model, inside and out.

The amazing Marcel Lloyd used his camera settings, angles, lighting and edits to follow through on my look book and showcase the style we envisioned.

For my own stories, I put together outfits for myself, contrasting colours and tones with our choice of location.

The wonderful Lucy Lewis created a behind-the-scenes dressing film, showcasing the work that went into these photos.
