Born Again- Cover and Feature Editorial for W25

When I got the magazine in the mail and saw the image staring out at me from the front page, can you imagine how ecstatic I was? The shoot itself took a year from planning to completion. I would wake up at night to jot down details and when we finally shot it, what a breathe of freedom! Here’s a look at the editorial and behind the scenes with the gorgeous Anke Hansen who delivered brilliant hair and makeup, with fantastic models Amberlie and Monika from Chadwick.

Anke handmade and styled all the hair from scratch. This woman is so absolutely phenomenal and such a perfectionist, it’s great working with an artist of such capability. I also had the immense pleasure of speaking with the bookers at Chadwick and shooting two wonderful young ladies who are professional and beautiful and rose to the occasion while I waved my arms around describing the concept. We shot over two days and here are the results:

Currently in the midst of planning some major editorials, definitely looking forward ot them! ;)

BTS: Intimate Beauty

Last Saturday saw the return of one of my favourite concepts: woo colours and swooshy hair aka simple raw beauty. With me was Justine B, our rocking makeup and hair artist, wind assistant Anna L and very lovely models Erin P and Sophie P @ FRM, and Lucius an utterly irresistible terrier who attempted to make friends with unamused Cat. Here are some behind the scenes.

So a friend and assistant extraordinaire (Anna L) came over early one day and walked in on me trying to take a self portrait of a new outfit (composed of garments yet to be worn from a glorious 80% sale in 2010). So I happily roped her in to handle the camera and spent the next twenty minutes in an attempt to jump and ‘be sexy’. Oh dear.

Behind the scenes at one of my latest photoshoot with the ever fun Justine Bruers, makeup artist and hair stylist. We were eager to play with a ton of colors and textures and just go a little bit wild. Joining us were Ana K @ reelfacesFRM and Jessica W who’s traveling from Germany (excitementness). Anna L played assistant for the day, making herself indispensable by making tea for everyone and cleaning my cupboard and taking these behind the scenes photos. Enjoy.

I love it when models smile

Love what I do. Huzzah.
