LPA Style’s Claire Louise and Alice Timms have recently been working with Igor Emmerich, shooting a great series of Unilever products, from shampoo to margarine!
Commissioned by Red Letter Design, these natural images showcase Claire’s great sensitive approach to hair and make-up. Alice didn’t have too much wardrobe to source for the shower scenes but the other shots look great! If only we looked that fresh-faced whilst showering at 7am!

LPA Style’s Sam Norman has recently been shooting with Gary Salter (represented by Horton-Stephens) on an exciting project for Inferno which was commissioned by London Dungeons.
Known for her expertise in special effects, the project suited Sam perfectly and the fantastic final images of witches, ghouls and murderers among others speak for themselves. We definitely wouldn’t want to be in a dark alley alone with any of this lot!

Back at the tail end of last year, LPA Style’s Charlie Cave worked on this great set of images for TFL shot by Owen Silverwood (represented by East Photographic).
Promoting the London Overground (that’s the orange line if you don’t know!), Owen’s images are simple and beautiful and would definitely catch our eye whilst waiting for a train. Charlie’s work is impeccable as always, sourcing unusual props such as DJ decks and commissioning a hand made belt to look like the orange overground line! Charlie even provided the writing which accompanies the compass. Lovely work Ms Cave!

Team LPA were lucky enough to recently work on a shoot with Olympic gold medalist and British icon Victoria Pendleton for Halfords.
Shot by Michael Heffernan in and around the beautiful snow-covered Ragley Hall, Victoria looks a pro as a model! Hair and make-up looks were created by Claire Louise whilst super stylist Alice Timms provided the wardrobe. Though the whole team was great, brownie points definitely go to Alice: Victoria loved this coat so much she wore it to accept her CBE from the Queen the following day! Here is a taster of the shoot.

Behind the scenes with team LPA, good shot Dani!
LPA Style’s Alice Timms has recently been collaborating with the fantastic photographer Sarah Cresswell on this great series of images.
Shot on location at the Screen on the Green in Islington, North London, Alice and Sarah had just three hours in the cinema and the results are outstanding considering the time frame. Alice’s retro-inspired styling looks great among the damson seats of the cinema and we’re loving the roller skates! The ladies have worked together on other projects in the past and we’re definitely looking forward to seeing some more great work!

LPA Style’s Sam Norman and Alice Timms have recently been shooting with photographer Liam Arthur, capturing these fabulous portraits of ‘polar explorers’.
Inspired by the fabulous tales of intrepid explorers such as Scott and Amundsen, Liam took these mesmerising portraits which hark back to the ‘race to the poles’ in the early twentieth century. Alice provided the great period polar wardrobe whilst Sam created the amazingly icy hair and make-up looks.

We’ve spent 5 minutes with people in every area of the photographic industry, from model bookers to animal talent agents. For our first chat of 2013, we thought we’d stay a little closer to home and caught up with the inimitable Charlie Cave of LPA Style. With a wealth of experience in the fashion and retail industry, Charlie is one of the most creative stylists in the business. Here is what she had to say….
- Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?
I am a stylist for both stills and TV commercials. My work involves researching, mood-boards, props, set builds and wardrobe. I am also a mother to two amazing little girls. Unfortuately both work and children have been most unkind to the bags under my eyes.
- How did you become a stylist?
Whilst at university, I did work experience for the jewellery designer Tom Binns in New York where I met several fashion stylists. I become really interested in the idea of styling, but found the fashion industry incredibly scary. So I decided to try and get experience in interior styling. After graduating, I worked at Habitat and Liberty department stores doing visual merchandising and window displays. During this time I also did lots of assisting, then after several years I started getting my own jobs. I was very lucky to work with two brilliant stylists/journalists who took me under their wing, Vinny Lee & Margaret Caselton. They taught me so much – I am very grateful to them.
- What are the main skills you need to be a commercial stylist?
You need to be extremely organised, with good knowledge of all the prop houses, stores etc. An ability to get on well with people and most importantly understand the brief is key.
