Over the summer, Debra was asked to create a unique composite vista from three photographs for Justin Hayward. The resulting image is currently being displayed as a 25 x 18 ft backdrop for his American/European tour. The last touches involved her recolouring/relighting the scene digitally, whilst adding hand painted shadows and other elements, such as lights in the windows, to make the finished picture more effective.

Known principally as the vocalist, lead guitarist and composer for the Moody Blues, Justin's voice graces hits such as  ​Nights in White Satin and Forever Autumn.

It's been a while since the last photo shoot - but a request from wrestler/musician Mason Storm, aka Amadeus, tempted Debra back in to the studio.
​The set of images captured will be used in Mason's upcoming publicity campaign.

Secret #20: 7 Deadly Sins ??? @debrajayneart former photography student at Plymouth University, fell in love with the magic of The Penventon Park Hotel. Her creative mind sparked and overnight the idea of a short film called the 7 Deadly Sins was born. The creative film tells the story of 7 sins embodied into females - their personifications coming to life and presenting how each sin reacts in certain situations. The initial inspiration came from the Copper Bar because of its “film set feel.” Other scenes were filmed in the ballroom and bedrooms, and the makeup looks were created from makeup artists from Truro College ? Debra described the day of the production to be one of the best days of her life. She said that being able to make the hotel come alive through her work was a dream come true. Debra won the Elevation Indie Film Awards in 2017 and now the still photographs that go alongside the film hang on the wall of our corridor downstairs ??

SEVEN DEADLY SINS PREMIERE

It was a fantastic turn out as the Seven Deadly Sins team, families, friends, neighbours, colleagues and classmates gathered in the Fal Building reception for drinks and nibbles before taking our seats in the beautiful Fal Theatre for the premiere screening of my first film. 

​With the exception of the wonderful Dan Cook and Debra Jayne's daughter Alicia none of the team had seen anything but the trailer, so there were unsteady nerves along with great excitement. Any uncertainty soon disappeared though as the wonderful performances of all concerned soon became evident. Cheers and a great round of applause echoed inside the theatre at the end of both the first and second screenings.

​Thank you so much to everyone that made the effort to be present at this most special evening, which ended with drinks and dancing in great and talented company.



​THE FULL FILM - ENJOY!

Wednesday 10 May 2017

​Today Debra Jayne worked alongside Jo Chatterley on the portraits of Zoe Tresise as Lust and Georgina Markham as Envy. It was down to the Lady Edith Suite at the Penventon Park Hotel for hair and make up before Envy took a seat at the Copper Bar for her portrait, and Lust made her way up to one of the beautiful bedroom suites for hers.

​This concludes the work needed for the Seven Deadly Sins Project. Special thanks to the owners of the Penventon Park Hotel: Aaron, Mark and Laura Pascoe, for their encouragement and support, to Rajesh the General Manager, for inviting Debra up to the hotel and allowing her imagination to run wild, and to Jonathan Lingham, Marketing Manager, for looking after everyone all so very well on shoot day.

It has been a fantastically creative day as Jaymi-lee Porter was transformed into her alter ego, Gluttony. The kitchen staff must have wondered what was happening in the suite below as we a rolling pin, greaseproof paper and a large silver cake stand were requested. Debra worked alongside Jo Chatterley and Andrea McNeil to create their magic. The photo shoot in the dining room concluded with a lot of cupcakes looking very worse for wear.


Wednesday 5 April 2017

Today saw the commencement of the Sins' portraits in preparation for the Lander Gallery, Lemon Street Truro Exhibition, which will take place between 5 - 10 June 2017.

 Debra worked with Jo Chatterley who transformed Hope Foster in to a vision of gold. Following many hours in hair and make up Hope emerged to have her picture taken in one of the beautiful lounge areas of the Penventon Park Hotel. The resulting image, along with the other six, will be posted on to this website in due course.

​The Seven Deadly Sins
One of my university assignments required me to make a short film to show I know how to operate the moving image facility on a digital camera. Just one minute of footage would have sufficed, but I decided to take the opportunity to try to achieve something far more interesting and adventurous. 

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by ancient writings and the information contained within them. I therefore decided to make the subject of my film 'The Seven Deadly Sins' and intend to continue the theme through in to my final major photography exhibition at the Lemon Street Gallery in Truro, June 2017.

​I found seven beautiful female models to play the sins, along with two handsome males who act as their romantic interests,
and decided on a colour scheme for each of the sins, as follows:

Pride ~ Purple
​Sloth ~ Turquoise Blue
​Envy ~ Green
​Greed ~ Gold
Wrath ~ Orange
​Lust ~ Red
Gluttony ~ Pink


​After much consideration regarding aesthetics for the sins, Debra decided on an elegant long dress/long hair look to go with her fantasy theme. She chose and purchased all of the dresses, bar one - the Gold gown for Greed - which was the model's own, along with jewellery and props, and then wrote a storyline that would show each of the sins acting out their true natures.

​Talented hair and make up artists joined the team, and the stunning Penventon Park Hotel very kindly gave permission for the short film to be shot there. Debra had intended to put the final footage to the Massive Attack track Angel, but Universal Music would only agree to twenty five people viewing the finished film. Even thought that would have served her purpose with regards to university commitments, out of respect for all of the wonderful people on board to deliver this project Debra decided to look elsewhere for a suitable track.

​For two sleepless nights Debra searched the internet for music that would fit the theme and storyline well. She eventually found the perfect track ~ 'Drive' by Sinfinis ~ an American band. Following correspondence between Debra and their singer, Mary Elizabeth Kennedy, it was very kindly agreed that 'Drive' could be used in the film.
