The Actors Studio

We recently teamed up with photographer Michele Aboud, hair stylist Michael Wolff and make-up artist Justine Purdue to shoot a story that takes it cues from 1950s New York. Our direct inspiration was the famous Actors Studio on W 44th St in Manhattan, where Lee Strasberg developed the method acting technique. The result was a modern take on the aesthetics, silhouettes and energy of, among others, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Sidney Poitier. And with gorgeous models to boot. Makes us think we were born a couple decades too late!

Thompson's











Last month i did this great campaign for Thompson's vitamins featuring Robbie Deans. Most people will attest to the fact that i am the worlds most unsporting New Zealander consequently I had never heard of Deans. I was amazed at his calm, lovely personality and his tolerance for being dressed in retro tracksuits. Michele Aboud shot these beautiful images, I love seeing a photographer with such a strong fashion background shoot something so contrasting.
