just before leaving uca epsom in september i handed in my fashion photography and styling project - which whilst i enjoyed i just did not feel like was for me anymore. i unintentionally took some behind the scenes photographs and so i thought i would share them. the white pepper kindly lent me some of their beautiful shoes and a two piece (which i was in love with!). and i also worked on some smock designs with the wonderful rhi from vintage style me, which you can see in the first two photographs - aren't they adorable!? i can't wait for them to be released come spring/summer time, i'll be first in line for any smock rhi makes. we had a lot of fun creating the images that i ended up calling 'bopiscle' a mixture between bopping and a popsicle as we listened to one direction and chewed bubblegum i thought it was appropriate.
this was my first proper university project, and my last at the university for the creative arts as the university of my dreams has really disappointed me. i'm tempted to do a little post about it because it's nice to know that some people are in the same butt (nemo reference i feel like i have to point out!).
lots of love, lily
p.s hi mum!
such a shame to hear you didn't enjoy your time at your dream uni. i never went in the end, i felt pressured into something i didn't want to do which is typical of us non-academic students ! this looks like a really great shoot lily, i bet the images were amazing :)

Definitely onwards and upwards! I'm in the last year of a graphic design degree and I've hated almost every moment of it. I wish I'd dropped out a long time ago! I hope you find something that you enjoy! Also, the photos are lovely as always!

I am very sad to hear you didin't enjoy your time at the uni of your dreams and although I am studying a complete different subject from the one you were, I can understand how it feels to be disappointed in your course. I certainly wish I had done differently and dropped out to follow some other dreams of mine ! So it's good to hear you realized it wasn't something for you and dropped out before being too caught up with it :) I hope whatever you have planned for your future brings you the happiness and the fulfilment you deserve :D you were very brave :)

i love these photos, lily!
ReplyDeletei dropped out of uni too, i was doing illustration in cardiff. i LOVE illustration and always will, but the course was just not right for me. maybe somewhere else would have been perfect, but i don't feel the need to be in education anymore.
i actually feel much more motivated and happy now than i EVER did in uni!
