Featuring the talented Charlie Hex as my showgirl, inspired by her tattoos with the same name across her knuckles, for this project we decided to shoot at the iconic Antwerp Mansion in Manchester, which provided the perfect backdrop for our circus-inspired concept.

Our goal was to create a fashion-clown chic look that incorporated the whimsy and magic of the circus. To achieve this, we worked hard on the costumes, combining bright colours, bold patterns, and fun accessories to create outfits that were truly unique. We wanted the outfits to be playful and memorable, and I think we definitely achieved that goal.

But we didn't stop there - we wanted to take the shoot to the next level. That's why we decided to incorporate fire and stilts into the shoot. The use of fire added a layer of danger and excitement, while the stilts created a sense of height and grandeur that perfectly complemented the circus-inspired theme.

Shooting with fire can be a challenge, but we took all necessary precautions to ensure that everyone was safe throughout the shoot. The result was some truly stunning images that capture the essence of the circus in a way that's both fun and mesmerizing.

The images were published in SELIN MAGAZINE's "Showgirl" issue.
