Colour Paint Shoot today!
Woke up this morning to see snow everywhere... white everywhere and Tom Smith (the photographer) and myself had planned a photo shoot...
So I got in my little car and drove to a field where we decided to shoot, but by the time I arrive sadly the snow had melted... IT WAS FREEZING!

The photographer, Tom Smith bought powder paint in all sorts of colours and smoke bombs to play with!
I was meant to be wearing white jeans and a white top but the cold got to me...I survived it for a while and then gave into the red coat! 'Its so fluffy!'
I started off throwing the paint at myself but because of the cold wind the powder paint just blew away.... The photos didn't turn out the way we wanted but they were funny!
So I wiped my hands on my white clothes and my face to look colourful.
Tom then gave me a prop!!

An old vintage camera! It was so fun using this because the photos looked very arty and abstract.
The camera was masking my face, becoming the main focus, hiding the bright colours bouncing out behind the camera.
Tom tried to throw the power paint at me while he took the photo which didn't work out... He completely missed the photo and I got covered in paint! It was so funny!
My advice is, if you want to do a colour shoot like this;
1-Get clothing you don't mind getting ruined, stained or smelly, because the powders sometimes stain and the smoke bombs smell really bad.
2-Wrap up really warm because its winter and so cold, you cant move freely if your cold.
3-Don't do it on a windy day because the paint just blows away.
4-But 100% Try it out because you get some amazing photos and its so fun!
