Spring Has Sprung And So Has These Fabulous Fantasy Hat Designs, Created And Chosen From 100's Of Flower Images Taken This Spring

'The Way I Wear My Hat' is a surreal photographic digital collage series with a floral fantasy hat theme created around and inspired by three beautiful models and 100's of flower images taken this Spring. With floral patterns being popular and photographing the local London parks during this Spring, I decided to combine this with images from profile shoots with models, Zina Sparling, Angelica and Sophie Eagerton. These fun and feel good images of camp fantasy stylised Vintage hats were created for my online shops and available in wall Art Prints and gifts under Creaivemazza @ Curioos, Redbubble and Society6.

Using my background in portrait photography and love for flowers, I combined these two subjects by choosing a selection from 100's of images to create these collages through digital manipulation and montage techniques on Adobe Photoshop. While creating these images they become a form of escape and hope the viewer also experience this for a moment while looking at them.

With a delightful review earlier this year by German Photography Site, Tilpy, I felt inspired to continue my theatrical style and quirky subjects with 'The way I wear my hat'.
