Oh lord where do I begin with Violet Blaze? Nutcase... yeah that will do.

I first met Violet Blaze in the Distillers pub in Hammersmith, London. This however was the second time I have seen her perform as I had previously captured her winning performance of Big Mama at Madam Jo Jo's during the Burlesque Idol Final in 2012.

Since then we had had a number of shoots together, all at sunny Brighton in the south of England. OK one was in her bedroom... :-).

In 2015 I also had the pleasure of shooting her wedding to her husband Mike.
