This serie was shot with Marianne Fassarella from IMG models, a while back end of last year in Le Marais streets, Paris.
I wanted a woman in love with fur and feathers, walking the streets at night like a tamer.

New series that I have shot with Thomas Sottong for Men’s Uno China. Soft black looks were mixed together with extreme coloured ones and a ghosty feel.

Headshot today with Jarrod Scott from New Madison…
Jarrod picked up my Ozzie twang in a couple of seconds… and that made our starter for this session. Cool dude… reminded me of my days back in Australia.

What does it feel to be a fashionable murderer living in Paris these days…? Well, I guess this story was my initial intention. Stefan Pollmann, is a brillant and expressive models from Success @ Paris. We’ve shot this all in one day, with a minimal crew of 3 people… a first time trial that proved to be very efficient.

I will be releasing on egfashiondiary.com extra unreleased shots… the original story is based on 20 pages with more sex and violence…

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to shoot, young French actress, Agathe Bonitzer, for a profile fashion page in the last issue of Madame Figaro (special Mode).
Agathe is in 3 major French movies this month, including the latest of Jaoui / Bacri “Au bout du conte“.
I am still fascinated by her real taxidermy bunny on top of her fireplace, which I had to have in the shot!

Etrange Affaire relates to the life of Wallis Franken, the former muse of Claude Montana. Heather and I wanted to express in this story the beauty and the falls of the modelling industry, through what we know of her life. Alexina Graham totally embraced the character in this story.

We shot this story at the Shangri-La hotel in Paris on the 6th July 2012. I remember the madness of shooting all the couture looks, the next day after all the couture shows . We even had 20 min for some of them… we were shooting inside while it was hailing outside!

We shot this story at Hotel Particulier in Montmartre, probably one of my favourite private escapade in Paris now. I am in love with Imany’s voice and beautiful charisma.

Ciprian is a Romanian footballer currently playing for Bundesliga club Schalke 04 and the Romanian national team. We shot this story at Le Carmen in Paris. I guess the mood is clearly in the shots and don’t need any further description… The story has been published in the September issue of GQ Romania.

Shot at Le Carmen

2 days spent in Deauville back in March 2012. Donatella and I were dreaming of a story on the beach, with 2 black girls, all styled in black and the final story processed in BW. We ended spending the 2 days in the ‘Johnny Halliday’ suite and around the swimming pool of hotel Royal Barrière as we could embrace a more luxurious set within the hotel. We had to shoot the outside shots between storms. Hail again on that shoot followed by portions of 10 minutes of sun. Akuol was quite happy… the pool temperature was at 27 degrees.
