Photo Story: At Home with Beauty Editor Ava Welsing-Kitcher

Ava Welsing-Kitcher at home. Imagery throughout by me.

This week’s podcast was truly a labour of love, for all the right reasons. As you can imagine, face to face podcast interviews have really had to take a back seat over the past 18 months. Instead I had to pivot and switch to Zoom and Instagram Lives to ensure I could host a different guest each week. Honestly, it was challenging but, it was also the key that got me to the big old C word: CONSISTENCY.

However, once restrictions were lifted I jumped at the chance to spend time in someone else’s space for a change. I was dying to shoot some new faces but also, I was intrigued to see if I could get a little more in-depth with my interviews. Instead of just asking about my guest’s favourite beauty products; I wanted to be able to see them, in their natural environment. So I asked Beauty Editor Ava Welsing-Kitcher if she’d mind if we popped round with a camera or two and filmed the podcast, live from her beauty cupboard.

She kindly said yes, and the result was so much content! We spent almost five hours with Ava, which meant we could shoot b-roll for the YouTube, and I was also able to shoot some portraits of her, as well as some interior details. I wanted to share them with you. Enjoy! And be sure to check out the video here, or you can listen to the podcast here.
