The Painted Veil

So I have been thinking about the inspiration for my photo shoot and I seem to be going through alot of ideas. there are so many avenue to explore, I feel like I'm getting lost in my on thoughts. I know that I want to do something quintessentially english but at the same time I want it to completely clash with that idea in order to carry on the previous clashing of Stella McCartney editorials. I was thinking about maybe doing something exotic so I'm going to watch a film called 'The Painted Veil' tonight for inspiration and to see if i could make it work. Its an amazing film about a doctor who takes his wife to China during a Cholera outbreak. I like the idea of colonialism. A little England preserved amongst the wild jungle and unexplored lands. I'm going to look into Kew Gardens as a possible location. I have this photo that i took on a school visit there which I love of my friend standing on the white spiral staircase in the palm house that could be perfect if i recreated it for my own needs! i must try and find it....

Anyway you should all watch this film (if only to watch the gorgeous Edward Norton for a few hours!!)
