Feathers Boutique Photography Exhibition

Jay McLaughlin has been commissioned to create a unique photography exhibition at Feathers on Hans Crescent as part of the boutiques 40th anniversary celebrations. The exhibition runs in the boutique from the 1st – 30th September 2014.

The exhibition of ten stunning Black and White images by fashion and celebrity photographer Jay McLaughlin has been sponsored by Olympus UK.

Jay McLaughlin has always had a keen interest in photography. ‘I’ve always been a visually driven and creative person and being an artist of some description was the obvious career choice’. Initially choosing to study graphic design, his interest in photography dominated and as a result heavily influenced the direction of his design portfolio. Eventually pursuing photography outright, within six months he had secured his first magazine cover and within a year he was shooting for national magazines. Jay is currently focusing on both fashion and celebrity editorial alongside commercial and advertising projects. In his role as Olympus Brand Ambassador, he presents seminars to both small and large crowds and has also been a guest judge for several prestigious photographic competitions.

For the Feathers exhibition Jay has curated the display to include stunning imagery of couture gowns and accessories and the use of black and white photography, whilst being classic and timeless, also serves to highlight the textures in the garments and the shape and feminine form of the models they adorn.

One of the series of photographs will be the key image for FASHIONatMELONDON, during London Fashion Week – when the image will be featured on a large window displayed at ME LONDON Hotel on the Strand and on the marketing materials for fashion week.
