I was commissioned to shoot a feature for the January issue of Company magazine, called “There’s more than one way in Essex”. I was accompanied by the Art Editor Tanita, who also did all the driving (thank you so much!). The idea behind the feature was to look beyond the cultural stereotypes of fake tans, nails and hair extensions.The girls appearing in the feature are, from Colchester (top), Mitzi Fox lead singer in an electro pop band called Angry vs The Bear. Felicity Joy Gower, from Romford, who runs her own vintage store and Essex based fashion label called Now Voyager. Triathlete Jodie Swallow from Brentwood recently won the Triathlon world cup in Korea, is also an Ironman world champion, and hopes to compete in the 2012 Olympics.
