So…it turns out my blog wasn’t updating this page for months!!! It’s been pretty dull around here.  http://solenphotography.wordpress.com/  has all my old blog posts that are missing from here and will hopefully update from now on. Bye bye posterous blog x

Hey folks

I’ve just updated my website, head to www.solenphotography.co.uk to take a look, let me know what you think. It also features my new logo designed by Juliette McIntosh . It’s a handmade lino print which I LOVE!

Hope you like the new look site. Have a great weekend

Some shots from a sunny Saturday morning band promo shoot with my fine friends Tanya of The True Vaults and Cori Burnett on make up duties. Both very talented ladies. I love portrait shoots with friends, lots of fun, especially when followed by a large bloody mary!!

Take a look at The True Vaults amazing video for No Goodbyes, directed by Grammy award winner Trish Sie (the lady behind the OK GO videos). There’s a link to a free download of the track there too!

The indoor shots were taken in Now Rest Cafe, thank you to Donna for letting us use her great wee cafe.

The lovely ladies at Vi Nouveau have a fab brand new vintage boutique store on ASOS marketplace.

We had a little fashion shoot to celebrate! We’d hoped for a little sunshine but instead we got thunder!! We moved our fashion shoot indoors to some great locations in Portobello, Edinburgh. 

Here’s a sneak peak, keep an eye on their website and ASOS store for the rest of the images to come soon…

I recently had the priviledge of taking some promotional photographs for We See Lights, along with some images for artwork for their forthcoming album, Bloody Twenties. They are an Edinburgh based alternative indie folk band. I highly recommend having a listen on their website and keep an eye/ear (?) out for their upcoming release. There’s a free single download available on the website…
