FIVE MINUTE CALL

A cinematic love letter to the showgirls, singers, actors, burlesque icons, drag legends, circus daredevils, and cabaret stars who shaped history.

This August, Studio DeLite will be transformed into an immersive backstage dressing room, ready for you to indulge your inner diva in.

A space to created to capture the essence that quietly underpins the life of a performer.

Immersive set - I am pulling together years of collected costume pieces, feathers & furniture to set the stage for your next cinematic portrait shoot. Whilst some of my more treasured items will be there to set the scene, you will have the option (if you choose) to dip into a dedicated selection of robes, accessories, costume jewellery, tiaras, gloves & boas. Gathered over the years these pieces are either retired costume items or simply never made it to the stage.

Or, for the seasoned showgirl - bring along your own fabulous outfits & costumes.

These photoshoot sessions are about storytelling - about immortalising your legacy.

The backstage dressing room is the sacred portal between our everyday lives and our glittering moments under the stage lights. The audience never sees those private storms — but the dressing room mirror does.

What sort of portraits to expect from your “Five Minute Call” photoshoot session?

These are not the standard cutout promo shots every performer has — these are something rarer. Think cinema stills from your long-awaited biopic. The editorial they run after you've headlined the most coveted show in town. The images you'll return to in years to come and see your full self looking back. A story told through mirrors and rails of costumes, through shadow and light and everything you've carried to get here.

Let the camera see what you see. These sessions are staged reality — and there is nothing quite like them.
