Paris Fashion Week on 35mm Film
I’m finally sharing my film photos from the week I spent in Paris for fashion week. I can only apologise for the lateness of this post due to lots of catching up on work post-Paris and some issues with my film that were mostly my silly mistakes as a result of extreme exhaustion.
But it sometimes feels nice to share photos retrospectively. Despite only returning from Paris just under 3 weeks ago, I already feel nostalgic about it looking at this roll of film. To explain why I was lucky enough to spend a week in Paris during fashion week, I went with the brand I intern for and was working in a British Fashion Council sponsored showroom on their behalf.
I didn’t actually take any film photos in the showroom or in any of the other fashion-y places I went to during the trip. The photos were mostly taken on the streets of Paris and in the amazing AirBnB we stayed in, but I hope you enjoy them anyway.
The apartment we stayed in was incredible. It was owned by an artist who lived in the apartment below and every corner was filled with incredible art, furniture and there was even a huge tree in the middle of the living room. It was the most interesting place I’ve ever stayed in…
There were mirrors everywhere in the apartment, even on the ceilings, it felt very Parisian.
Galeries Lafayette
The best way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Paris, at Janine Love Sundays- they do the most incredible vegan food.
My favourite bookshop in the world (despite how excessively busy it is)
The bathroom was the best part of the apartment.

My Life on 35mm Film #2 | A Valentines Staycation, Sunny February Days and London Fashion Week
It’s been too long since I’ve shared a blog post dedicated to film photography but I’ve finally got round to it today! I love shooting film but I sometimes fall out of the habit, mostly because it’s expensive and sometimes, usually in the winter, my life just isn’t that interesting. But I am going to try and make these posts a monthly thing, at least, if my budget allows!
The photos in this post were mostly taken throughout February, which was intense in terms of university work but also a really good month. The sun appeared out of nowhere and although it was undoubtedly bad for the planet, it improved my mental wellbeing so much and I’ve been feeling so positive ever since. Sam and I also stayed at the Lock & Key Hotel in Liverpool for a Valentines staycation night and ordered burgers off Deliveroo, which was really nice and relaxing. On top of this, most excitingly, I attended fashion week for the first time ever! I was invited to help out backstage at the Nabil Nayal show and, as you’ll be able to see in these photos, the collection was beautiful and it was such a cool experience. So, on top of a whole lot of university work, I managed to pack a fair bit into February! Here’s some photos to prove it…
What I’m usually wearing when I work from home. I know, those socks are chic.
Half of these books are yet to be read (by me)- that’s my task for this year.
Didn’t take us long to mess up the room (note: the sheer amount of food)
City of Light Display @ Sefton Park
The flash on my camera ruins all mirror photos :/
And the flash ruins another mirror selfie. Take my word for it, this charity shop blazer is great.
