8th May 2009 Nikita, Dancer Shoreditch
“Real love does not seek to bind, control, or enslave, but to liberate, to empower, to set others free to find their own truth”
I am keen to do some new shoots but it is really important to reflect on what I have done in the past and where I am now. I’m not doing these posts in any particular chronological order, just as I come across the pictures that I like and then I can order the posts in the date order that the pictures were shot.
Solitaire very kindly helped me out at the last minute on a shoot for a Channel 4 programme entitled “What Really Happened William and Harry” that was hosted by Jacques Peretti investigating how the Princes emerged as modern A-list celebrities.
We did the shoot at Bordello, luxurious lingerie and all things boudoiresque, on 8th December 2008 relating to a Prince Harry incident on 20th October 2004 when Prince Harry came out of the then Pangaea and hit a paparazzi photographer Chris Uncle. This was a more interesting contrast than looking like a steorotypical pap standing outside a club randomly flashing people leaving.
Three days earlier I did a shot with Sobriety and Glamour Kitten doing the styling that was the first time I had done my own creative shoot for far too long
The second shoot we did with Solitaire was 23rd March 2009 and this was another Ashby/Pycraft production and we shot these pictures in the flat upstairs, on the stairwell and on the roof of the apartment block where I live. I like this shot and the mellow natural lighting.

Roses and rose petals have long symbolized love and devotion. They are the ultimate sign of devotion and romance; however, there are other meanings to rose petals, depending on their color. Red rose petals symbolize love, passion and respect, and coral rose petals are associated with desire or lust. Purple or lilac rose petals mean love at first sight and enchantment.
The fan symbolizes friendship, respect, good wishes and a tattoo of a Japanese fan would symbolise a wish for unlimited success. The fan stands for many things, the handle of the fan symbolizes the beginning of life and the ribs are for the roads of life going out in all directions. They were used by warriors as a form of weapon, actors and dancers for performances, and children as a toy. Shoot Charlie Pycraft/Paul Ashby Mariketa by Makeup Carlee Candice Harrod
