Last Post Of The Year

More stuff for the casting agency, Lampost. Signing out...

Donate Blood!

Here are the shots for the SANBS campaign They are not the final ones they are using, but ones that I prefer.

Lampost Casting Agency

Jodie Stinson, the stylist I work with quite often, has started a casting agency called 'Lampost'. She has asked me to shoot lamp posts for her website which is being designed by Trigger. Here is one of the many shots I have done for her over the last week or so.

Soccer And A Bedford

I lied about not going to be at the Ludicris show at Melrose Arch, got tickets on Friday morning so I did go through to check it out. But he didn't actually perform, as promised, he just introduced an act. Ah the lies. Here are the pics that were used at the party.

Cons, Blood, and Ludicris

Still waiting to get the go ahead to put the Converse campaign on here, and also for the new SANBS campaign I shot this week. SANBS is the South African National Blood Service, by the way. We shot in Soweto and Fordsburg with graf artists Rasti and Dave. It turned out really well and might be made into a TV commercial if client gives the nod. Also shot a few portraits for Nike, they are going to be exhibited at the V.I.P. Ludacris show at Melrose Arch where I was told that if you are someone you will be there. I won't be there.

NOFX and Fuzigish

I was asked by JP, from Fuzigish, to shoot pics at the NOFX gig at the Bassline on Monday night. I only got to shoot for about 3 songs during the gig because the barricade that they setup up for photographers collapsed, and NOFX didn't allow photographers on stage so.... Here is what I got.

Converse Campaign-Coming Soon

I shot the new Converse ad campaign last week Thursday and Friday, it was awesme, think I shot some of he nicest work I've done in a while. But I'll only be able to put the stuff up here in a few weeks so be patient. My old G4 iBook crashed on Saturday half an hour after I backed up the Converse job onto my external hard drive, R.I.P. old friend, so this is my first post on my shiny new MacBook. So here is a pic of one of the models from the Converse shoot, not a great shot but I really like his tattoo.

New Portfolio Blog

I have started a new blog, one that is more like a website with my portfolio broken down into categories. I'm still working on it, trying to decide on which images to add and which to leave out. It is up and running so if you want to have a look, click here. It also has a 'photo of the day' section on the opening page so, hopefully, I'm going to be able to upload a new pic everyday.

Andrew van Rensburg Design

My brother, Andrew, has just finished his Diploma in design at the Vaal University. I went to his end of year exhibition last Friday and was so stoked when I saw his work. His work was cleaner and a bit more slick than the others in his class. These are some of his designs that I saw. The first 2 are business cards and a letterhead for a company , and the 3rd one is a poster and letterhead for a restaurant, and the last one was for i-Jusi Magazine. Since he isn't going to be studying anymore he is going to be looking for a job, so if you want to contact him for any reason, click here.

Calendar Girl

I was asked to shoot a shot for an Absolut Vodka/GQ calendar. The brief was that the pic should be sexy and have something to do with the shape of Absolut blah blah blah. So I shot these with the idea that the girl and the skirt would make the shape of the bottle, I worked on some to get the exact bottle shape but these are the unworked ones. Don't want Photoshoped to hell pics on the blog do we? The dress was made by a local designer, Lunar, and was worn by Sienna Miller for British Vogue.

It's All Just Hype

Shot the December cover and fashion editorial for Hype Magazine this month.

That's Not Cricket

I'm not the biggest rugby fan, so this world cup vibe didn't do much for me. But what was rad was that I got to shoot the Morkel brothers, from the Proteas, for SA Cricketer Magazine. So this was for the cover and a 4 page spread in the mag. Cricket is the business, by the way.

Daniel and a Camera

Drag

I still haven't finished my story on drag queens, and I know I said I would only put the series on the blog when it was done, but I really want to get this stuff out there to get some feedback. So here is some of the photographs so far.

Dan Winters

This guy is awesome, such a fresh eye on portraiture and such a distinct style. Go check his site out here.

A Rainy Saturday

I went to Newlands, Johannesburg today with Leksa to find a post box she had seen that was in the shape of a heart. (We need it for a shoot, if you were wondering.) We found the post box and also got hella lost, but it helped because I got these pics somewhere.
