Marina & the Diamonds Photoshoot Part Two ♥

The second half here was photographed at the most adorable local farm. There were actually chickens everywhere and although I was tempted to photograph with them I resisted in favour of better fashion imagery! The concept was inspired by Marina and the Diamonds, and also that Max (A fashions store here in NZ) had an awesome collection out that went perfectly. The hat is actually a plain white hat, and I added a number of flowers and ribbons to it until it was suitably pretty. 

If you would like to watch my cover of "Teen Idle" you can do so here!

I'll post the tutorial when it's up. In the mean time subscribe to stay posted.

Marina & the Diamonds Photoshoot Part One ♥

Marina and the Diamonds has solid style, and so I did a photoshoot to match my cover that was inspired by her song "Teen Idle". This is summer in New Zealand and out the back of the country. The first half was photographed by my sister Alexandria, and the second half by my friend Dillon.

My life is full of photography, fashion and music and bringing it all together is what I love to do.

But wait! There's more... Marina & the Diamonds Photoshoot Part Two ♥

Justin Timberlake is back!

So excited! I just watched Justin T's new song 'Suit & Tie' - and even though it's the lyric video I have to say this guy has some class! Love his style and new vibe. I reckon this song will be pretty big once it gets out. I'll be interested to see what other songs will be on his album also, as he's evolved so much since 'Future Sex Love Sound'. 

Check it out for yourself here:

'Suit and Tie' - Justin Timberlake

I'm feeling like there's a little bit of Ollie Murs in this, as well as maybe a bit of Pharell? Anyway I like this mix, and as always the cinematography is sweet.

See you later this week for tutorials! Yay ^_^

Tip of the Week #6

Hey y'all! Here is tip of the week #6. So this one is about time of the day to sing. Although it is possible to sing in the morning, singing in the evening (especially practicing in the evening) can often be easier as it requires less warm-up time since you've been naturally using your vocal chords all day! I often record my videos in the late afternoon, never early morning. When practicing I find it's easier to start with a few simple mid-range songs (Key of G or C) then progress to others.

Happy playing!

Regina Spektor! Live in Concert in NZ 3-12-2012

Wow! So I got to meet REGINA SPEKTOR. Jealous much?

This was a pretty awesome concert, I was illegally filming as much as I could to show you guys some of the awesome footage, and I'll add pics to my Tumblr from my phone: http://katherineannmarie.tumblr.com/

The stage set was FANTASTIC, although us silly kiwis were so pedantic about how it looked - someone screwed up and didn't sort out the lighting for her! The poor girl couldn't see her piano and eventually (after playing 3-4 songs quite rushed) walked off stage until they sorted it! She did ask for a lamp but no-one brought one... Eventually though it was sorted and we got to listen again. I went with my mum (because she has awesome taste in music like I do) and I was the crazy girl at the beginning cheering for her to come on stage. We waited for 45 minutes! Then the fun begun:

After playing a number of favourites she played this beautiful Russian song from a Russian artist called 'The Prayer" (See below). I love hearing Regina just by herself and without all the other instruments.

So it was an amazing concert! I even got a signed autograph of hers (See my Tumblr) She is so cute and short in real life! Very petite. I told her that her music was inspirational and she smiled ^_^
