Well............... This is what you've been waiting for



I'm ever so sick with my normal ritual, I complained. Perhaps you should think about getting out of town for a few days, Pep... is what he replied.  


So, I stole my father's car keys and did exactly that. Would you join thee journey? It shall only be for as long as my father's gasoline shall last and we BOTH know where that'll take us...



He said he were to committed to his work in the factory. I sighed.



 What would a lonesome gal do when thee Citroen's engine begins to crackle, other than fetch the most classical lunch of all. You must have a full stomach before getting stuck into that workload Ma would always tell Papa. 


Pa left his overalls in the C Lomax. What a smart man, who knows what can possibly happen on the road? 
I certainly did not expect to be slipping into Pa's factory overalls... what the heck, Ian always says to expect the unexpected.





A woman shall forever hanker thee man, though she shall not forever necessitate him... I discovered.

1920's Photoshoot!

If you have all been wondering where on this planet Chemical Flash have been, then you mustn't wonder any more! We have been thinking of you all, I assure you. Which is why we set up a fabulous 1920's set in my garden! My father, a man who sacrifices every moment he owns for the love of cars. Keep in mind, that not every car is as sought for as this special one he allowed the team to use! A Citroen Lomax. Which he collected it from a man whose father had been building for many years, has now sadly passed away therefore the three wheeler had been left in isolation. (If you are one who gains enjoyment from a heroic narrative, this is one for you.)  My father saved the car from its isolation and although he does not specialize in the mechanical side of cars, he found a wonderful man who does. So, once Chemical Flash used the vintage prop, it was off to a new home to be fixed, scrubbed and loved just like its original owner would have hoped for. I mean, when I say fixed... it had been left so long, the doors began to fall off. It had a belt with no seat and a steering wheel with no mirrors to guide you whether you were safe to turn or not! I'd say, it worked out pretty well for me to just simply sit, sought after the retro fever it brang and offer a sweet pose for my boys.

Courtney jumped into this photo shoot as well, as you are or should all be aware he is now our recording man! Andy (my boyfriend) became our pizza delivery man and my great father became the prop man... watch the video of our behind the scenes and you'll very clearly see what I mean!

Brighton Beach Shoot Summer '11





Hello all of you viewing the Chemical Flash Blog. As you can tell, we have made many changes to the way our page looks. We hope that you all prefer it, as we do. We have also extended our team with a gorgeous young man called, Courtney. He helped us to create a video of what our shoots are really like behind the scenes and after one successful video, we didn't want him to leave us. If you would like to view this production, please click here. 

After all of our shoots taking place in Windsor, we decided as it was Summer we should go BIG. Therefore, we hit Brighton Beach on perhaps one of the coldest of our Summer days. 
I, Pepper, shivered all day whilst trying to capture shots in the freezing water along with Niten! Waves crashed against us, knocked us down and actually helped us to have a pretty amazingly fun day. 

Courtney, practiced his runway walk in my heels as Tony perfected my make - up whilst being approached by many people interested in what we were creating. We found it quite overwhelming and it made us each eager to carry on, fight against the weather and create some kick ass shots. 

At every given chance, ideas were being thrown at me from the boys as of how to pose, where to stand and what type of emotion needed be portrayed. 

I changed into three outfits, one being a black bikini, the second my dirt bike top (yes, I saved it all this time) and third being a shredded tee and a green bikini. 

As I say each post, I could not ask for a better team. They offer such fantastic ideas, respect professionalism. We all hope you enjoy our photographs, and look forward to reading your thoughts. (You do not have to be a blogger to comment below.)

ENJOY! 
LOVE, PEP!

WE CALL THIS - BARBIE BITCH.











Oh babes, don't be jel that you don't get to work with the AMAZING Tony and Niten! (You may get the chance soon when we spill the beans about our summer Charity Event) They do not only treat me like a princess with pampering, indulging me with BEAUTIFUL make up or insidious jokes that make my belly h.u.r.t but they help me to help them create magic. 
The idea of 'making a dress' for this shoot seemed outrageously fantastic. It made us three ecstatic. Though, it seemed as though it would be a far while before we'd actually fully finished it. Therefore, the idea seized, choked and collapsed. Until, Nitens' words motivated Tony and I to 'stop waiting for free time' and 'make free time' to create the Barbie Bitch master piece Tony'd sketched up. I hadn't the slightest foggiest scooby doodle how we'd make it r.e.a.l but we did. We used no longer than three hours in total and although I saw the piece in creation and had a clear image of the final... I was insanely IMPRESSED. Inspiration had been gathered from a various amount of designers but never did we aim for Gaga, although, now I see that it too kicks ass in her exquisite, tedious, it's so wrong but right kind of way.   

COMMENT, LEAVE FEEDBACK.

There's only so much innocence a girl can take...






Until she grows the fuck up and lives in the real world.



Where security bubbles pop.

And, cigarettes take its place.


Becoming the normality of any space.

Another amazing shoot by CHEMICALFLASH, which took place again next to the college each of us attend. Tony created an amazing journey of a girl growing up through two different styles. Under an extremely tight time gap, he not once panicked, nor did he loose patience. If anything, the pressure made Tony use his imagination with more confidence. Niten, once again captured pure perfection. The sweetness of a young girl which becomes rather the opposite once she began to find 'true' self. Niten is becoming fastly an fantastic photographer, learning many new skills with the help of Tony and myself (Pepper - Hi btw!). The outfits were styled by myself and are all my own clothing. Ideas from each of us were put into this shoot and we believe it turnt out better than expected! To see background photo's visit our personal blogs. (will be uploaded soon.)

COMMENT, FOLLOW, LEAVE SOME THOUGHTS!

THANK YOU ALL FOR VISITING. HAVE A WONDERFUL SATURDAY!

WELCOME TO CHEMICAL FLASH!

Here is a place we wish to create images of inspiration. With an amazingly gifted team of make - up and hair artist Yin Shen - Tony, picture monster Niten Thakor and model/stylist Isha Knight - Pepper. We each hope to create an adventurous page enticing our audience with our creativity and bursts of energy we present through our photography. Compliments and critics are always wanted and welcomed to help us progress - though be respectful and don't talk shit because we'd prefer it if you simply didn't look to begin with. Today the team worked extremely hard in order to portray what our future is all about - we created a symbolic feature and hope you enjoy it as much as we did...
