Being able to shoot in a field of lavender has been on my photographic ‘todo’ list for too long, so getting to work at two lavender farms on consecutive weekends has been a particular treat. 🌸
This shoot was another super fun workshop at Mayfield’s in Banstead. We had an evening pass, so we had the whole place to ourselves long after the public had gone home! There’s a pergola in the middle of the fields and as the sun began to set, we sat there for a while enjoying the gentle hum of bees and the heady aroma of lavender on a perfect warm summer’s evening. Could have quite happily sat there with a glass of champagne all night! 🥂
Our lavender queen for the shoot was the incomparable Jade Lyon, with whom I had the distinct pleasure of working with a few weeks ago at Platt’s Eyot Island. I’m really pleased with this one. Hope you guys like it too!
