+ Photographs of Holland and Sherry to be exhibited (21/10/2008 - 12:26:26)
Photographs of Holland and Sherry to be exhibited at their Saville Row Showroom
I shot a special photographic story for Twist Magazine sponsored by Holland and Sherry.
The challenge was to present fabric in a dynamic fresh way. Much of the briefs from Twist do require a lot of creative thinking as we're not shooting clothes and in this case we would be quite literally making the clothes on set. I called up on the help of a friend and tailor/dress designer Brigitte McLean. Better known for her work in the fetish fashion world I knew Brigitte was the woman to ask as she is both very creative but alsooriginally a trained engineer. She leapt at the chance to do it as it was an opportunity for her to let her imagination fly and play with the most amazing fabrics.
Working as usual with my favourite hair and make up artist Samantha Myers the day ahead was an exciting challenge for all of us, particularly as it was in fact one of the hottest days of the year. The models really enjoyed it as they became part of the creative process. Both Hannah and Alexia from Boss Models who worked for us were also actresses so they brought a different kind of energy to the shoot.
The results speak for themselves, Holland and Sherry were absolutely delighted and amazed by the work we created and will be exhibiting the prints of these photographs initially at their Saville Row showroom ( 9 - 10 Saville Row) from December onwards. The photographs are then expected to tour to their other show rooms around the world including Italy and New York.
