Pop Magazine - Bright Lights
24 September 2008

 

Fact : Children love the Circus, Clowns and Balloons. Fact : when we grown up, we live in a Circus, we end up dating Clowns and we still love Balloons! 

Many child like qualities are still inherent but are rarely brought out as we mature. 

This shoot for Pop Magazine titled “Bright Lights” and photographed by Alasdair McLellan captures the innocence and youthfulness of a wide-eyed child visiting the big city of New York for the first time and evolves into a veteran of the city by the end of the shoot! – Kate Vandermeer

Wonderland Magazine - Falling Angel
18 August 2008

 

Although referenced widely amongst the fashion industry, David Bowie is most iconic for walking the tightrope between masculine and feminine styling. 

This shoot by Wonderland, titled “Falling Angel” takes inspiration from Bowie’s hairstyles, power shoulders and accentuated waistlines. 

Photographer Simon Thistleton has shot entirely in black and white capturing a solemn but strong presence from model Ryan Thomas whose cheekbones bear a striking resemblance to Bowie. Fashion editor Grace Cobb has accessorised the black leather waisted jackets, matador style waistcoats and tuxedos with high shine patent corset style belts, dazzling brooches and black leather gloves. - Kate Vandermeer

Hercules Magazine (Barcelona) La Isla Bonita
09 July 2008

La Isla Bonita translates to “The Pretty Island” and that is exactly where you are taken with these “pretty boy looks” by Hercules magazine. 

Photographer Doug Inglish shoots in black and white to create a nostalgic feel to the images and to allow the “white on white” clothing to be the hero.

Channelling a preppy Cary Grant with a tongue in cheek styling approach from Francesco Sourigues, this shoot draws the viewer in with the model (Ollie Edwards) intense, come-hither eyes.   -  Kate Vandermeer
