Kewpie dolls by Julian

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:12:30 +0000

Julian recently completed this project with Missy (stylist).

The swimming cap is made from cute Kewpie dolls.
Shot on location at Bondi Icebergs, the team cast local talent, Rima, who swims everyday and Ernie, who swims a little less, but owns a red Ferrari.

As they were shooting they found a swim group from Newcastle, so they convinced them to be in the shot, holding Rima.

Cuteness.

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 Mollison captures the music of Craig Calhoun

Here is a brilliant portrait of Craig Calhoun. We had to beg Chris to spill his secret lighting technique. It’s deceptively simple but we want to keep it to ourselves as it’s a really inventive way to get an ‘effect’ in camera, without drowing the subject in post production. The portrait is of funk bassist Craig Calhoun.

Gen and Jethro

Gen shot this film of Jethro Cave a couple of months back and she has been saving it for The Ones 2 Watch. TO2W usually results in a major stats spike so it was worth keeping it a secret and letting them post it first.

Click here to watch the film. Ah youth.

And here are some stills.

Neil Massey shoots for WIRED magazine in Kenya

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:46:39 +0000

I recently discovered WIRED while at the airport on my way to London. It must be said that aside from Monocle (obv) this is the most finely crafted and informative magazine I have read in quite some time. The art direction is incredible so it’s no surprise that Neil recently did a 10 page feature for WIRED in Kenya.

Countries on Africa´s East coast today rely solely on satellites for their internet connection. These are slow and expensive compared with the sub sea cables that feed the rest of the world with a www connection. But several rival organisations are racing to lay high-speed cables into Kenya, Malawi and other countries. Regardless of who gets there first, everyone from distant farmers and businesses to slum dwellers trying to uplift themselves from poverty will win. However, getting there requires specialised cable-laying ships and their crews to dodge everything from Somalian pirates to cable-eating sharks in order to bring a 10,000km cable, only as thick as a sailor´s thumb, safely up onto land. It’s not your usual ‘latest piece of fluff iPhone app’ reporting. It’s very much about how the internet is engaging us in a real sense and having a tangible impact on existence. Deep.
