Jonathan Kelsey’s “High” http://focushubcourses.com/blog/2009/07/short-film-jonathan-kelseys-high/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=short-film-jonathan-kelseys-high http://focushubcourses.com/blog/2009/07/short-film-jonathan-kelseys-high/#comments Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:53:01 +0000 focushub http://focushubcourses.com/blog/?p=885 Short film for shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey’s Fall 2009 collection, directed by Sara Dunlop and starring French actress, Joana Preiss.

Kelsey says about this daring venture:
“Most fashion shorts I’ve seen tend to look great, but can feel like stretched-out adverts. We wanted something with depth, and a genuine narrative . . . the new winter collection [is] dark, loaded with hard edges and rock chick attitude. We wanted the film to reflect this, while pushing the envelope within the genre.”

And it is indeed daring…and bold; as well as beautifully shot and incredibly intriguing. And apparently there’s more to come – I’m on the edge of my seat already.

Shot by Steven Meisel, it’s incredible to see “The Legend” working it once again.

They have merged high-glamour, colour and sometimes dynamic landscapes with a fair amount of image manipulation to create amazing images in fashion, portraiture and advertising. They always seem to get something new out of models and actresses (as shown in the hot-off-the-press images of Cameron Diaz for V Magazine, below) and create unconventional images.

Christy was one of my favourites of the original supermodels and it’s great to see her still looking amazing.

She has graced the covers of many magazines and catwalks, culminating in French Vogue dedicating its entire Feb 09 issue to her. And why is she so popular? One reason is certainly her versatility and ability to adapt to any shoot; from sexy and seductive, to young and innocent, to primped and preened. Much like her supermodel predecessors such as Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss, Lara has a chameleon-like talent; more actress than mere model.

And here she is as Karl Lagerfeld’s muse in a short film for Chanel’s Preview Fall 09 collection…

]]> http://focushubcourses.com/blog/2009/06/recommended-books-3/feed/ 0 When Photographers get Naked Too http://focushubcourses.com/blog/2009/06/photographers-naked/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=photographers-naked http://focushubcourses.com/blog/2009/06/photographers-naked/#comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:03:22 +0000 focushub http://focushubcourses.com/blog/?p=600 It is en vogue these days for editorial, and even advertising, shoots to be more risqué, by showing some nudity. An ordinary shoot suddenly becomes more edgy, even more arty. It’s a quite blasé attitude to fashion, where clothes are less important and it’s more about the mood and strength of the image. But how do you get the model to relax? One slightly unorthodox approach may be to get naked with your model, as shown below by the actions of established photographers Jurgen Teller, Mario Sorrenti and Terry Richardson (Kate Moss featuring in two of the images).

Of the Jurgen shoot, Charlotte Rampling says:

“The way he works is very free and easy, he puts you at ease really quickly…you have to trust someone to get to that stage. It’s important to feel released, and you can only do that when the photographer’s relaxed. It’s a lot of fun and it’s edgy.”
The Guardian 

Naked photographers

Be aware though, that only very established photographers can get away with this!
