Here is a sweet portrait Chris shot after meeting the girls on the Natalie Imbruglia shoot which they guest-styled.

I think this is one of the nicest shots I have seen of them in years.

Chris Searl and Natalie Imbruglia on TOP of the Opera House

Chris is the only person EVER to have been allowed to shoot up there. You can read the full interview about the shoot here on Pedestrian. And you can see the behind the scenes video here.

Gen Kay for Ginza, Japan’s style bible

Does bible have a capital B? Anyhoo, here is Gen’s latest story for Ginza. It was shot on film and it’s a story about this season’s fashion trends and what the popular stylists, models and “it” girls wore to the fashion shows.

Richard and Rittenhouse

Richard shot some press shots of a collaboration between Rittenhouse and Swiss artist couple Michael Husmann and Pasquale Mira Tschaeni. You can read more about the collaboration at Canvas Magazine.

These shots appear in this month’s Vogue (another reason to buy it!)

Richard’s ethereal creature for Karen

Here is Rich’s story which is out in the current issue of Karen magazine. We have just included a selection of our favourite shots to encourage you to go out and buy the magazine! Rich is shooting in Europe at the moment and is back and availabel from 3rd December.

Pete Daly’s Expensive Space-junk

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:34:21 +0000

Pete shot this incredibly highly produced story for Grazia, out this week. It’s a real moment of pride for us as it’s a rare thing indeed for a fashion glossy to feature a four page main fashion still life shoot. Lots of prep went into it and we’re extra thrilled that these shots were 99.9% IN CAMERA. We’re pushing for a backwards trend if you like, back to real photography, set builds, collaborations and grunt work on set rather than in the digital darkroom, and Pete is leading the charge.

Let’s get physical. Richard for Grazia

admin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:16:45 +0000

Rich has unleashed his inner Nick Knight in this incredible sportswear story for Grazia, out this week. If you buy the mag, you will only see the sharp shots. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting the RW news site (which you obviously are), you will see these out-takes which are so commercially marketable and versatile that they’re like a gift from Richard to us. He is always experimenting, pushing, adding and the great thing is that the resulting work feels new but it’s far from challenging to sell.

Lisa Mitchell shot by Richard – those freckles!

Richard shot Lisa Mitchell for Vogue. She looks more like a model than a singer. He said she was completely intoxicating and totally knew how to work the camera. When we look at this shot words like twinkling and sparkling float into our minds. We live in a bit of a cultural cave in the Wolkenstein/Maud office, but this has made us want to get onto iTunes and have a listen to the source of all that twinkling.

and some gorgeous out-takes.

Richard Freeman: Polished fashion photographer and all round nice guy.

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:19:59 +0000

It’s so hard finding the right artists these days. It takes so much patience and searching, and so much delicacy. The right balance has to be found, niches have to be filled, gut instinct has to be allowed to rule. This is why I am thrilled to announce that Richard Freeman has come on board. He comes with zero ego, Kiwi humility, and an absolute passion for light and beauty without any of the nonsense. He has only been shooting for himself for three years and has already scored a Vogue cover. His page on the site is going up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for it. If you can’t wait til then, click here to see more of his work and partake in some pure escapism.

Where Aren’t the Wild Things?

Harper’s BAZAAR recently commissioned Chris to shoot a scantily clad girl in the freezing Southern Highlands in a sweet little pastiche of his stills taken on Spike Jonze’s set three years ago. Mark Vassallo even had a fierce little Max hat commissioned for the shoot and a DIY gold crown. The incredible Cameron provided production support for which we all say thank you. The shots are really special. We hope you like them.
