Joburg Style - Cover and Fashion Editorial

Over the last year I got to team up with stylist Natalia Fernandez and make up artist Natasha Kruger, our newest shoot was for Joburg Magazine, a smaller publication based on the culture and happenings in our home city. 

In the December / January issue we shot the cover of the magazine with pop star Danny K and a alcoholic cocktail / movement inspired fashion editorial with the amazing model Luandre from Star.

Black Coffee SS & AW 2012

Last week after a month of planning and a few days before the final press kit was meant to go to print as well as a week before the Fashion Show I shot Black Coffee's new catalogue and press material, we managed to pull off 40 shots in one day a new feat for me. With a mixture of Zylight LED lighting and flash we managed to achieve the desired results.

Black Coffee Backstage Documentary - Berlin Fashion Week 2009 - Wanted Magazine (August)

Backstage at Berlin Fashion week I got the opportunity to shoot a Fashion Documentary on Black Coffee's new range which was on show at the event. The IMG models which where cast where very professional and super easy to shoot from all angles. During the hustle and bustle of the models prepping and walking out onto the catwalk, I managed to capture the glamour and unique aesthetic of Black Coffee's beautiful garments.

The shots below where prepared for The Business Days Wanted Magazine where they where presented as a fashion editorial. One of the image was used as the front cover.

Please enjoy and send feedback.
