Mermaid In The Manor
October 2019

Model - Victoria Allison
Location - Assembly House next to Newcastle Arts Centre

A semi abandoned building, I think it’s ‘listed’? Beautiful place and brilliant for photoshoots -
Although you do have to rely quite a bit on natural light as there aren’t always plugs in the right places. Victoria is a professional mermaid (what a fantastic thing to be) - so we dressed up and wiggled around the building wearing a yellow 17th century dress and a beautiful long blue mermaid tail. The theme was a mermaid in a manor, or perhaps it was what if Marie Antoinette was a mermaid - I’ll leave it up to your interpretation. I do think that there is a kind of story there though.
