CAR GRAVEYARD SHOOT - CAPE TOWN

HERE ARE THE FINAL RETOUCHED SHOTS

Graveyard Trash

In March this year i traveled over to Cape Town to work on a few fashion shoots for my book.
Yes i know it was in March and you ask why im only posting backstage now ..? well .. i was busy !
I still am . The reason for working on my book is because Im heading over to LA in 3 weeks to find myself a photographers agent. I have no choice but to get one otherwise i will be stuck in Dubai longer than necessary . Its hot .. its nasty and its fucking sweaty here in Dubai during summer and its time to get out.

Here above are a few backstage shots from my car graveyard shoot.

My paris Hilton shoot. Unfortunately being a huge celeb shoot for harpers bazaar mag I am unable to attach any shots from the shoot. The only image I can upload is this one. My finger wrapped in gaffer tape a creative piece by candy kennedy. Today was crazy. I was up at 2 am and out the door at 3 to fetch my crew for my first shoot of the day for the Daily Mail UK . Working with Dennie pasion, Gemma model and sinead o Connor ( yes it's a strange name to have) the magazines fashion organizer. Reese Cartwright was my assistant and entertainer for the day. Reese is always amazed that everytime I introduce him I immediately tell people he is allergic to nuts and can't eat peanut butter I find it completely ironic and gives me a good laugh everytime I tell someone! Unfortunately I don't think I have many backstage shots of this shoot because mark wasn't around to shoot the backstage because he was busy setting up the lighting for the Paris Hilton shoot so as I arrived I could start shooting. But what really happened is that I arrived and we waited 3.5 hours for her to arrive. Being Paris Hilton is a busy busy life. Straight after our shooting she had 2-3 other PR appointments. The shoot is for Harpers Bazaar July/August issue so I will be uploading all the backstage and fashion shots on publication.

My baby !!

Model genivieve on the estee lauder shoot

ESTEE Lauder backstage

 After 24 hours of traveling from South of France to Dubai via taxi, train, another taxi, a flight , a bus, another flight and finally a taxi to our apartment we were finally home. We were slightly delayed at the airport because our luggage missed the flight ( this seems to be a normal occurance ) and we had to fill out a few forms to insure delivery of our bags . 5 am ... we had 2 hours to sleep before having to wake up and head over to OKKU in the Monarch Hotel for the Estee Lauder photoshoot. We worked with Blair Patterson - Estee Lauder New Yorks Brand makeup artist . Thats the great thing about being a photographer , you get to meet people from all around the world. We shot with model genevieve from Bareface dubai. The shoot came out great and will be uploading the retouched beauty shots in a few days.

We had an awesome shoot today in Cape Town.
I rented Roodebloem studios www.roodebloemstudios.co.za/

Jessica Bombshell was the model, she is with vision models and lives in New York and was lucky to get her for a day of shooting ! Justin Jurd was the stylist and danielle VC did the hair and make up


The theme was military and Jessica pulled it off so fucking well !
