Our Aesthetic:
Voluminous ballgowns, beautiful headpieces, tailored coats, and ruffled, high-neck Victorian silhouettes are set against wood-panelled rooms, vaulted ceilings, and gothic fireplaces.
Our models will be wearing coloured contact lenses and have fangs - meaning they will be perfectly and authentically embodying their undead counterparts. Do you dare to meet them? We will also have props including giant candelabras, floral arrangements and an 'Interview with a Vampire' inspired set for our male model.
Our Location:
Elvaston Castle is a wonderful example of a gothic revival castle. It is unloved and beautifully decaying, and a great location for a vampire themed shoot. There is a gorgeous, shabby yet dramatic grand painted hall, a staircase, panelled rooms and decaying spaces. This stunning location in the heart of Derbyshire has photo opportunities at every turn and some gorgeous natural light.
