Metallic Madness – Tony McGee Shoot
Yesterday I shot with one of London’s best photographers Tony McGee. I have shot with him once before for his book on Ballet and loved his work. I have been waiting a while to shoot with him again. He shoots regularly for Vogue, Harpers etc and many advertising campaigns. The model we used was Diana T from Storm, she has just shot with Patrick Demarchelier for British Vogue. The brief I was given was the latest Valentino campaign. I decided to go with metallics. But as I did my appointments on Wednesday I fell in love with a lilac Julien Macdonald dress and changed the story slighty to accomodate but as luck would have it we had to cut the looks from 8 to 6 due to time so I did metallic only. I quickly convinced my favourite photographer, Keith Clouston, to shoot on Saturday so I’ve built a whole new story around the lilac dress – yay
Lilac dress by Julien Macdonald. I want !!
Anyway yesterdays shoot was fantastic. Nat assisted me which was amusing. The make up artist and hair stylist were also Australian which made for a good laugh. I’ve attached a few behind the scene photos below.
Shoes glorious shoes …
The Guisseppe Zanotti handbag I fell in love with
There are only two professions in this world where we spent most of the time on our knees – and one of them is a stylist.
Me getting in the way of Pete, the hair stylist.
On set – The final shot and the Christian Dior dress that I could barely lift for the weight of jewels.
