Snowflakes for Lipsy

I was recently asked to do a backdrop for the fashion brand, Lipsy. The shoot stylist wanted snowflakes made from paper to create a Christmas backdrop to a range of clothing and accessories. 

What follows is a series of pictures I took during the project's progress. The lead time on this job was one week from client approval and starting the flakes to wrapping up the photo shoot. 

This is the first shot I sent the client
