Detail shots for a food feature. 

 

In Praise of Women... photographers.

I saw the work of photographer Anushka Menon online and as soon as the opportunity landed, booked her for a cover shoot (with Sonam Kapoor no less). These were the first images I saw of Menon's work and went wow  - under a lesser hand, this could have been a hot mess, with nowhere "to rest the eye" (if you know the ref, you know what I"m on about!). But whoaaa Anushka's mesmerising work and deft hand gets it right just about every single time. 

Check her work out online on Facebook: Anushka Menon Photography.

Aaaaaand its a wrap...

After the longest, hottest day of the year, where we shot Fall/Winter 2018 in the streets, studio and stations [you'll see!] of balmy Hong Kong, this incredible crew did the most amazing cover shoot for Runway, by Prestige Hong Kong.

That's relief and exhaustion and joy of a job well done. Photographer Dino Busch, stylist Bhisan Rai, model Yana Vilkina....  joyful to work with.

Back in 2008, after a particularly horrific shoot working with one of the b****iest stylist known to mankind, had a self-imposed rule of only working with fun, kind, generous and talented people.

This lot are not only gifted, but the loveliest to work with.

Until next time/shoot/on set lols...

Waiting on Set... with Dino Busch

Since I started working with Dino Busch, who is very Type A meticulous (and German), he lands early on set, is prepared and ready to kick off on time, every time. However, 90% of the people we have shot (when its not fashion) have been late on set. I think our record thumb-twiddling once was four hours as the person we were doing a feature on missed a boat or flight or something....

So while we wait, the crew gets up to their own little antics and posing. Not for the faint of heart his biz...

Just Shoot Me: Photographer Jeff Hahn in Hong Kong

I'm not one to be... photographically blessed. The extra chins, the dark circles, the spare tyres, the bad hair, the moobs... its really a work in progress that whole... body thing. So when I do see a snap of myself lookin' un-horrible, I plaster it allllllll over the place. The prodigal, the prodigious, the promiscuous, the precocious, the pro that is Jeff Hahn shot me. And I liked it. ha.
