National Dementia Cupcake Day
My wife Joanne’s mum died earlier this year after suffering years of dementia. Today, Thursday 14th June 2018 the Alzheimer’s Society have their National Cupcake day so I thought I would post a few pictures from a shoot last year with Emma Appelton-Smith. Jo had this great idea about making a corset out of paper cupcake cases and after a couple of weeks of painstaking sewing we had our main piece. A relatively simple skirt made from paper strips together with more painstaking work for a wig made from plaited paper completed the main outfit. A few white accessories and white makeup supplied by Emma and we were ready to shoot in the studio dressed with white furniture and white background. I think we got some great photos.
