Chris Floyd X Kellie French - And Begin

Flock are delighted to share new work from our recent commission for midlife skincare brand AND BEGIN featuring photography by both CHRIS FLOYD and KELLIE FRENCH 🙌✨.

The 2 photographers collaborated to create a body of imagery articulating the spirit and ethos of the brand, including portrait photography of brand 'champions’ by CHRIS; with complementary still life photography of product and ingredients by KELLIE.

With set design by the wonderful OLIVIA CLIFFORD, styling by the amazing SASHA BARRIE, and art direction by our lovely KELLIE FRENCH, we were able to bring continuity of colour palette, tone and texture, ensuring a complementary look and feel throughout the images.

Huge thanks to And Begin for this lovely commission, to all our awesome team including our fabulous real models, for a wonderful shoot in every respect.

Kellie French - Sali Hughes / Guardian

Kellie’s work has focussed on beauty for the last few months, creating some stunning content for Sali Hughes’ iconic weekly beauty column in the Guardian.

The picture editors wanted her to devise a series of images with a modern, conceptual and humorous taken on beauty photography. The brief gave Kellie lots of freedom with her ideas and executions, and we absolutely love the results!

The images focus on a range of concepts… from L to R…

wavy hair / strong hair / saving money with a beauty subscription / glass highlighters / Christmas fragrances.

Huge thanks to all the Guardian team and to Sarah Cherry for the amazing hair & makeup. ❤️💥🔥

 

Kellie French - Anita Bhagwandas / Guardian

Kellie was recently commissioned by the Guardian to shoot this striking portrait of Anita Bhagwandas, an award-winning journalist, beauty editor and broadcaster; to accompany a feature on her new book ‘Ugly’. As always, Kellie brings a considered and creative take on the subject-matter.

“We've all had those moments. The ones where you look in the mirror and nothing feels ok. For Anita Bhagwandas, this started when she was a child and it created an enduring internal torment about her looks. Why are our lives shaped by such limited ideas about beauty? How can we break free of them for a happier, more inclusive future?”

Kellie’s response to the brief was to create an image of Anita holding a mirror that showed a twisted, poignant and beautiful reflection of herself.

“I liked the idea of ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?’ and the constant conflict about wanting to be accepted as beautiful. The snakes in the mirror have tones of Medusa, which I loved too.”
