I’ve been talking, for what seems like ever, of getting Shanghai’s creative minds together for a series of shoots, once a month, with no other purpose than to splatter the walls with our pulled creativity.
Now, it seems like the train is set in motion with this second, of what I hope will be many, beauty fashion shoot.
The creative concept was defined and born in Matsume’s head, it’s all about phobias and our dark unexplored side. Death, plastic, birds, cages and clowns were all at the party… served with a bit of wine!
Behind the camera…
And, for the heck of it, since I never seem to do this, here’s some behind the scene photos from the shoot. The hair and make-up took quite a long time, our day lasted 10 hours for 3 sets, but it was truly well worth it.
Thanks a lot to my beautiful other half, Louise, for taking photos of me while performing the gymnastics of photography, not to mention the model who sat for hours on end under the unrelenting hands of both stylists, Kate and Matsume. The photo-shoot took place in our flat, here, in Shanghai… not exactly the greatest studio but it’s all we needed to let our creativity loose!
