Team Uncool Making of: Arch Magazine, June Issue.

One of my favorites. Lets see if they select it for the final editorial. 

Here is a little sneak peak into my new fashion editorial for Arch Magazine, Melrose Arch in Johannesburgs magazine. The team was amazing and we had a fun day in a maze with model Kirsty from Star who is ever friendly, professional and down right amazing to shoot.

With the team of Jenny Andrew as stylist and Liz van der Merwe on Hair and make-up the day went well and even with rain pouring down we managed to get a good 8 - 10 pages of fashion editorial. Themed around warm woolen wear and the maze in the back of the Melrose arch hotel, mystery was hopefully created.

Team Uncool Loves: Swedish Kids in Summer @ Way Out West Festival

In August this year I attended Way Out West Festival in Gotteborg, Sweden. I never got around to uploading the images I shot until now.

Lets be honest Swedish kids are gorgeous and look like they're wearing new clothes everyday.

Here are some of the selections I made from my trip there.

Team Uncool Loves: Lave by Canedicoda

A collaborative video and photographic project done for the launch of the Lave collection by Italian screenprinting and fashion brand, Canedicoda. 

The Project was a collaboration between myself and local italian photographer Silvia Boschiero. 

The project is meant to give a visual representation of a personal emotional response to his creations and the place that he creates them in. When I first met Gio (Canedicoda) inside his enviroment, it was quiet and meditational. I wanted to portray this to the viewer.

Team Uncool Loves: Wardrobe 19 Copenhagen, Denmark

In Copenhagen at the moment. Spent the day walking around Larsbjornsstraede today and came accross an amazing menswear store selling mostly classic contempory stuff. The owner and mastermind befind the new store, Martin Skovbo Vestphael showed me the store, where I spent way to much but walked out with total retail satisfaction.

The image above is of Martin himself.

You can find the store at 1454 Kobenahavn K, Copenhagen.
