Echo echo echo...

Ever get the feeling you're alone? I've just realised that this place isn't exactly active yet so I'm going to stop posting blogs and pictures for no-one to look at and wait until a big more activity is going on.

Come and play! Photography studio and equipment hire in Edinburgh for £10 per hour

Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0100

My studio is on the South side of Edinburgh city centre where Pleasance meets St Leonards Street. There is plenty of pay and display parking close by for daytime shoots and I am happy to shoot on evenings, weekends and other 'unsociable' hours.

The studio is available for supervised hire (ie I will be there and am happy to assist if required but if more privacy is desired I'm happy to keep a respectful distance) for £10 per hour. The same low price is for everyone - students, hobbyis [...]

The awesomeness of June

Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Ever had one of those months when everything is just crazy? June was definitely one of those for me. I have now moved my heaps of fabric, props, clothing and kit into my new studio (yay!) and am preparing for a little opening night gathering (date TBD). I am SO excited to finally be able to book shoots again after almost of month of being studio-less and a week without an electricity supply!

Unfortunately the computer gods are not smiling on me at the moment so I'm in the process o [...]

Cat in a box

Taking photos of a cat in a box entertains me. I am easy to entertain.

Catch a falling star

Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Sun, 31 May 2009 00:00:00 +0100

My favourite photo from a recent shoot with Fuchsia and a LOT of glitter, confetti and sparkly stuff. It was awesome and I totally love the photos. Make-up artist Meryl Elizabeth not only worked her make-uppy magic but also very patiently assisted with shooting the glitter gun. Oh yes, we had a glitter gun. And it rocked. There are LOADS m [...]

Kitties, horror and a return to normality

Sparkly goodness

Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Fri, 08 May 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Normal people worry when they start having dark thoughts all of a sudden that won't go away. I'm concerned that all I want to take photos of right now are fluffy kitties and sparkly cute things.

Shai, my baby.

One day she'll eat everyone, but I'll be last.

Fluffy kitty time!

Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Model is Pablo the little white kitty.

Spring has sprung, the sun is shining, cats are fluffy, sparkles are sparkly and all is right with the world. This is an over-done cliched concept (actually, it's about 4 different over-done cliched concepts) and I don't care. Sometimes a bit of aww-kitty and some glitter are just what the doctor ordered [...]

More lovely ladies

<h1>Recreational glamour</h1>
<p>Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100</p>
<br><br><br/><br/>A couple of days ago I realised that I hadn't shot any self-portraits in the studio yet so to remedy the situation I spent last night up there, naked apart from lots of eyeliner, wrapping myself in floaty fabric. A [...]

<h1>December Bliss</h1>

<br><br><br/><br/>Just me. Nothing deep and meaningful. I've been feeling very inspired by vintage glamour lately. For those who are new to my gallery or my face, the stars above my left eye are a tattoo. Or 'is a tattoo'? I'm wearing Urban Decay Heavy Metals glitter eyeliner as eyeshadow, lashings of awesomely cheap Collection 2000 black liquid eyeliner and Maybelline [...]

<h1>Trppl</h1>
<p>Tanya@RockstarVanity.com — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0100</p>
<br><br><br/><br/>This is Trppl (I do know his real name, but I'm not telling!). He wanted some promo shots for up-coming gigs and is possibly the most organised and time-efficient client I have ever had. Plus, he liked the asymmetrical light brolly reflections in his sunglasses, and that makes me happy.
