Calling all Burlesque Artists!✨

I’m bringing my AntiHeadshots pop-up studio to Highway to Hull Burlesque Weekender on Saturday 29th - and pre-booking is officially open!

It’s my first ever burlesque convention, so I have absolutely no idea what to expect, but I’m so bloody excited. I already know there are going to be some incredible looks that deserve to be photographed.

Whether you want glamorous portraits, new promo images, close-ups, full-body shots, photos with friends or partners or even some stunning, sexy photos to frame simply because you deserve it.

Come and make the most of your look while you’re already dressed up and feeling fabulous.

I’ll be there throughout the whole evening, but there are only so many people I’ll be able to photograph. Pre-booking guarantees that you’ll get your moment in front of the camera without having to chance it on the night.

I can’t wait to meet you all and officially pop my burlesque cherry. 😝❤️
