"Urban Countryside" for Fashion156

On top of everything I do with my art, teaching boxing and of course the clubs, I get tons of random work thrown in my direction. My schedule allows me to squeeze in the jobs I choose to take. Mostly fashion and entertainment stuff as my contacts are from those areas. But really I’m not smart enough to get asked to do anything clever. Gutted. I guess I’m smart in other ways.

Recently I got asked by my friend Laura Louise Clare Hall to help film a photo shoot for www.fashion156.com. With my little Flip HD camera that I seem to film everything with nowadays, I offered my humble services.

After hardly any sleep the night before (was working), I stumbled to proper South London to film the “Countryside” themed editorial for Fashion156.com. It was a fun day of filming; the crew were amaze and the models great.

Being tired (and silly) I was putting the models off by talking over the photographer at times. Saying that, it kinda helped! One conversation while the photographer was directing, I was talking to one of the guy models about the modelling world. I asked the model if he felt "abused" when he does unpaid jobs. His reaction was so funny. It was angry, thoughtful and almost part realisation that maybe he was getting ripped off doing free shoots. You could then hear on camera the photographer saying..."Oh that's great! Perfect, that look again" with me giggling in the background.

So yeh, this is my little montage of the photo shoot. Hope you guys like.
