I was delighted to be asked to be one of the official photographers at this year's Oxford Conference of Corsetry.

The Oxford Conference of Corsetry is the world's only conference for Corset Makers by Corset Maskers, all held in the stunning grounds of Jesus College, Oxford. Designers fly in from literally all over the world for this prestigious conference. It was held across the August bank holiday weekend and is an opportunity for corsetières to learn, network, share and develop skills, and includes workshops, talks and of course photoshoots!

I have worked with many corset makers over the years - the glamour, Gina Pisut Corsetiere with Marie Devilreaux Model at Oxford Conference of CorsetryGina Pisut Corsetiere with Marie Devilreaux Model at Oxford Conference of Corsetry shape and style fitting the Belle Privé aesthetic perfectly. I've been a life long lingerie lover and so it was an absolute joy to work with some of the world's finest corsetiéres and corset models. Despite it being the hottest day of the year, and a VERY busy shoot schedule, I loved every shoot. The designs were all so unique and the location of Jesus College, with it's historic library, the chapel, panelled dark wood walls and rose gardens- was a dream location for a photographer!

Here are a few sneak peeks of the shoots I did. If you are interested in booking your own commercial shoot, either in the studio or on location, do get in touch!
