DIE ANTWOORD - an awesome rap/rave group

One of my favourite bands at the moment is Cape Town 's Die Antwoord ( The answer )  .  Started in 2008 and consisting of 3 members - Ninja ( Watkin Tudor Jones ) , Yo-landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-tek.

Ninja is known for adopting different stage personas. In the case of Die Antwoord his persona is Ninja: a aggressive character who is very different from his previous incarnations. When asked whether Ninja was a character he said, "Ninja is, how can I say, like Superman is to Clark Kent. The only difference is, I don't take off this fokken Superman suit."

Die Antwoord performs music which incorporates many ZEF elements and references. Zef is a South African slang term that describes a unique South African style which is modern and trashy and also includes out-of-date, discarded cultural and style elements

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 !!
