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!

Cannon


We worked on this campaign with Ian Butterworth last year for Cannon, it had two parts, a before and after zoom effect. In the before shots the Tiger was depicted in its natural environment and the singer at a rock concert. The images were displayed on huge digital screen at Westfield Bondi Junction. The before images would come up on screen then zoom into the images above. Cool Ahh...

Peruvian Fashion





The second installment in our irregular series on fashions from around the globe. I travelled to Peru recently and was amazed at the colour palette and layering of tradition highland wardrobe despite 30 degree heat. Flashbacks of Marnie Skilling circa 2008, woolen stirruped leg warmers, cardigans, knee length pleated skirts and felt hats. As per Cambodia, plastic shopping bags in complimentary colours.
