Ruth Miller | Flutist

Tina was approached by a well known freelance photographer – Woody from Still Films, to work with him on a shoot for Ruth’s new album cover and press pictures. Ruth Miller is a classical flute player so Tina and Woody worked together on styling the shoot and the different looks they wanted to create.

The shoot started at sunrise at Whitstable’s new marina and later by the beach. The looks they wanted to achieve were to be natural and fresh, the make up was kept simple and Ruth’s hair was set to achieve a touseled natural wave. After a couple of wardrobe changes that shoot was wrapped up and they then moved onto Hempstead House in Bapchild to shoot some more classical looking photographs.

Tina created a couple of different looks here, the first being still quite simple with the hair and make up and then this was followed by a more glamorous hair-up do and make up, this helped to create one of Tina’s favourite shots of the day!

After quite an intense shoot Tina, Woody and Ruth wanted to try something different and so went to the swimming pool at Hempstead House and proceeded to work in this area even doing some under water shots. Tina put false lashes on Ruth and then painted her lips with a blue tint and then covered Ruth’s lips in silver and blue glitter to reflect the light off of the camera light and water. Some shots were taken with sun glasses on and the result ended with a very Vogue couture look! The hair was greased back to work in the water, this was the first shoot where Tina had worked with water and she was ecstatic with the results!

Ruth and Woody were really pleased with the results and looks Tina helped to create and Ruth said it was nice to try some different styles out instead of the normal looks she does for classical flute playing.
