An Ode To No One SS12-13 Campaign Photos

I like what the guys at Mother & Father PR did with my photos

A late afternoon at Palmy with Natalie Joos

I've known the Belgium born, New York based Joos sisters for quite a while now. Natalie, as well as doing the casting for some high profile shows in the fashion capitals, has been keeping busy as well with her Tales of Endearment site, Natalie was up in my neck of the woods to a story on Heidi Middleton, creative director/designer of the successful Australian brand, Sass & Bide So Natalie asked if I could do some pictures of her in her look of the week, not that I needed encouraging or coaxing to do her Look of Week for her, but as soon as she said she would be wearing Josh Goot, I was more than eager to do so , as I love Josh's clothes ( I shot his first show in New York for him )

how awesome is this Goot skirt !
Love me a good sunset anyday, add awesome clothes and I'm in photo heaven :-)




thanks for the opportunity to photograph your look of the week Natalie

A Shaded View On Fashion Antwerp Academy Editorial Prize winner Jantine Van Peski

So back in June, when I was in Antwerp for the Antwerp Academy shows, Diane ( Ashadedviewonfashion ) & I annually give out a prize to one of the master students that we believe is a most editorial looking collection Diane has the final casting vote, especially see-ing as she was on the jury this year.
So may i present the winner, Jantine Van Peski Here are the pictures from backstage on the night of the show So one sunny afternoon in Antwerp, we grabbed one of the academy models, Nai-Sam and headed across the river Schelde at Antwerp to take these pictures make up by Selena Verbaenen It took me a while to bring these photos to you As it took me a while to do all these photo shop effects, I wanted to create this film bleed or light blled that I had seen on some surf films and it was not as easy as I had hoped main thing is, we had fun doing the photos, and Jantine was just wonderful to work with as well The aim of this prize is that Diane and I felt that the wonderful students need a tool to get them some extra exposure, Here is the post on Diane's blog And then This Is Paper picked up the story as well as Dutch Glamcult.
Best of luck to you Jantine and be sure to keep us updated.

Cali Cale

So way back in August I did a shoot with Bob for his new project, Cali and Cale, with 2 new models, fresh, first time in front of the lens new :-) I could not post much about it back then, as it was still developing, but they are up and running now.  The above pic taken in august is on their blog, and I did not realise I was so rugged up this morning. I remember some awesome cloud formation that morning, and got to meet Uge, here's a link back to the post I did that morning.
Here the final results





If you are into sandals or need a new pair, check out their site, and I think If you are Bondi way, you might even find them at the markets there on the week ends ( Is that right Bob ? )

Jozette for Mirella Shoot

One of the shots I did of Australian Ballet dancer Vivienne Wong for Mirella. I just did another shoot with Jozette for Mirella, but can't show the shots yet, so I show this one which is the previous one I did. And I must say, always a joy to work with professional dancers. Allows for some great composition and shapes, thanks for your hard work Vivienne.
