Skagen Denmark

SKAGEN DENMARK

A few weeks back I was asked if I would shoot a series of photos for Skagen Denmark. Skagen make really pretty watches and the brief that was given to me was nice and open and seeing as I have been wanting to do more considered photoshoots, I decided to dust my art director’s hat off and I set up a shoot with my good friend Leigh as the model and my talented friend Adi as the stylist.

I wanted all the photos in this series to feel effortless, but considered and I really wanted them to have a haunting feeling but in a good way. We spent a whole afternoon getting these photos just right and even though I had bruised knees afterwards and Leigh was literally bruised from head to toe, we had so much fun shooting them and I cannot wait to plan and photograph more projects like this.

In fact off this shoot, my friend Adi and I started a creative collective called Churche which we are planning to shoot a whole lot more projects just like this one under. So if anyone is keen to get in touch with us, just drop me a mail.

Rakky

Rakky-2

I’m very excited to tell you guys that Adi and I have finally come up with a name for our collective, we’re calling it Churche (website is on it’s way) and we’re so excited to do more shoots together and build this little project into something super awesome. Ps: If any of you are keen to follow us on Instagram here is our handle Churche_za.

We just recently got together again to shoot a new look book for a Cape Town accessory label called Rakky. Rachel is the talented force behind these handmade, hand painted one-of-a-kind beauties which I’ll have you know are even more awesome in real life. After looking at these necklaces we knew that they would be perfect for one of our shoots and because they’re so playful and colourful it felt like they needed a setting that would match their quirky charm, so Adi and I lovingly built them some cat hats, as one would. We then paid one of our favourite places in Johannesburg a visit Cataholics and there together with our awesome model Lenny from Bye Beneco and our six handmade hats we created this new series for Rakky.

Desmond and The Tutus

desmond and the tutus 2016

I have taken loads of photos of Desmond and The Tutus in the past, in fact I probably have some of the funniest shots of them because I have stuff from when they first started playing together just over 10 years ago! They were all so young and sweet and small, Dougie you were so small! I mean Craig was still in high school for crying in a bucket.

I haven’t shot them in ages because I don’t go to as many gigs anymore, yip I was that girlfriend back in the day that used to go to every single show with my camera attached to my face. So I thought that seeing as I hadn’t photographed them in the while I’d organise a shoot with Adi.

Ilundi Designs-1

After shooting a campaign for Skagen I’ve really felt drawn back to my photographic and art direction roots and my goal for this year is to shoot as many cool stories as I can and seeing as I’m a big fan of local labels I’m aiming for the majority of them to all be local products. So out of this wanting to do more creative stuff my friend Adi (who is a stylist) and I have formed a collective called Churche and under this label we hope to create and share loads more projects with you really soon.

Starting with this one…A little while back I came across this label called Ilundi Designs based in Cape Town who make the most beautiful hand cut, hand stitched and hand woven clutches. These bags are truly a labour of love and can take up to 14 hours to make by hand because every hole is hand punched and every stitch hand sewed, so you know that your bag is in a way one of a kind.
