Last week I posted the cover and fashion feature that I photographed for the Summer 2011 edition of Sparkle, Park Hotel Group's fashion, lifestyle and travel magazine.

This past week end, as I was backing-up the retouched files and then clearing the shoot off my laptop, I quickly skimmed through the shortlisted photographs that didn't make the final cut for publication in the magazine.

I was particularly struck by the final series we shot that day, in the Club Lounge at Park Hotel's Clarke Quay property.  As I clicked through these captures, I kept seeing photographs I liked that weren't featured in the magazine, as we only had space for a single frame from each location/outfit.  In the end, more than a dozen photographs of the lovely Paula in the green dress by Etro caught my eye; here are seven of my favourite outtakes.

These photographs have not been retouched, but they have been processed using a free application called Poladroid which gives the images the vintage 1970's, instamatic feel.
