Adidas 'Run Thru Time' Images

During the directing of the new Adidas 'Run Thru Time' videos I shot a bunch of stills. I didn't want them to die away on a hard drive somewhere so I decided to post them quickly. It was a pleasure to work with Daneel Malgas our protagonist. Most of these shots are of him and few of the behind the scenes and extra's.

V.I.N.T.A.G.E Dance Crew

V.I.N.T.A.G.E are one of the most popular dance crews in South Africa right now, they have been featured in everything from Coca-Cola to Die Antwoord. I had the chance to shoot them at Studio Studio last week. 

Here are the founding members, Lebohang Otukile, Lee-che Janecke and Ashwin Bosman. All the members come from different disciplines but V.I.N.T.A.G.E is a hybrid.

Troublesome Kids - PTA

 

The Troublesome Kids are a group of boys who come from, as they refer to it, the ‘hood’ in Pretoria, they joined forces in 2011 to inspire people to get themselves out of the financial position they were in, through creative means. Their main focus is fashion, they believe success is often driven by dressing well, ‘you do good, when you are dressed good.’

Chris Saunders, who is known for his ability to represent a lifestyle within Jo’burg culture through his photography, has done it again with these super interesting kids from Pretoria. Taking a great initiative and giving it the exposure it needs in such an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Text taken from We-Are-Awesome who originally posted the images on their blog. 

Here is the original audio interview from the shoot day.

Adidas 'Run Thru Time' 80's video

Ogilvy Cape Town recently commissioned me to Direct a video to launch their new range 'Run Thru Time'. The video was produced amazingly by Ola Films and would never have been reality withour their help. I also finally got to work with Adriaan Louw (DOP) and Deon van Zyl from We Are Awesome Film.

There are still 2 videos to come for the 80's and 90's. Check em out in the weeks to follow.
