Pots, pets and magic bells

Our photo shoot in Miss P's 16th century florist's shop

We're very lucky to have such artistic and kind friends around to indulge our creative whims every now and again. This month we've had a wonderful time playing with flowers and pots and dogs in Miss Pickering's 16th century florist's shop. Freddy, our very hands-on intern, whose last subject was Johnny Rotten, took on the more mellow challenge of shooting English garden flowers in a bunch of old pots with an elegant whippet called Valentine. Not so rock and roll but we like it.

Pictured here are the terracotta pots from Sibon, the Belgian pottery, filled with helleborus magic bells, as well as original 19th century coppers festooned with delicate fritillaria persica.
