So here are my first three posts of the year 2010. And fittingly, one of them has to do with soccer. The other one is a fashion editorial I did for Sandton Magazine and this one is stuff I shot while I was with my family over Christmas. It was meant to be a project called '7 Days', one photograph for every day my girlfriend, Leksa, was away . It never really worked and it just became, I guess, ramblings of a photographer shooting his family in his home town of Vereeniging. And I was a little trigger happy this holiday season as my present to myself was the new 5D Mark 2.
I was lucky enough to spend a few days shooting the Kaizer Chiefs, for Nike, just before the end of last year. It was for the launch of their new 40th Anniversary kit. Here are some of the pics, not in any type of order or sequence. Not sure where they will be printed etc. but I do know some of them are being used at the Nike Gallery in Melville.
I have been doing portraits for a mountain bike magazine called, 'Tread'. The series is of your everyday guy/girl who loves riding. Here are the first three that I've done so far.
I went out shooting yesterday with a friend of mine, Marcel. He needed shots of tree stumps for a project he is working on. It was quite interesting shooting tree stumps and textures, reminded me of work done by Edward Weston and Minor White. And in no way am I not comparing my shots to theirs, it just reminded me of them. I also got a shot of Marcel's daughter, Mila (SP?), hiding/stalking in the grass.
These are from Fashion Week that happened about two weeks ago. They don't really work together, but rather than them just staying on my machine I've uploaded some of them. The designers are Lisa Jaffe, Black Coffee and Tiaan Nagel.
