The phlogger brings you a special edition of phlogger presents. On the 27th April 2019, we took part in a 24 hour shoot (I only managed a few hours) in aid of the Macmillan cancer support.  The event was hosted by Jay Clark or JPC Photography and took place at the x-church in Gainsborough. The event was a day of models, photographers, hair stylists, make up artists and body/face painters from all over the country!
