The printing of... a fake swimsuit catalogue

The day has come... when all my pocket-money shall be spent on ink and paper to print my final project...

This whole experience has just confirmed that I am definitely not a graphic designer. Anyway, here they are, the final selection, scanned-in, retouched, medium format goodies in all their glory!

The making of... a fake swimsuit catalogue

I'm super pleased with the results... good team, amazing and co-operative model (Carla from Models On), perfect weather in the end (had a sleepless night worrying about clouds), nothing stolen, and no hassle from passers-by... We shot using medium format film on our grandfather's old camera, which might work and be absolutely amazing, or it might also not work whatsoever... We will find out on Tuesday!

Moodboard

This is my moodboard for the photos of my final project, a fake swimwear catalogue...

Today I went location hunting. Barcelona's Poble Nou area is brilliant for this warehouses in Brooklyn in the warm afternoon light...

Desguace

Silvia sent me the first few retouched pictures from a few weeks ago, when we did a shoot at a car junkyard. More to come...

Hats!

Hannah and I finally did the long-pending hats project this Sunday. We used large format polaroid for the final images, which Hannah is going to scan and slightly retouch this week.
Here is the final selection...

And a close-up of Sima we took with the G9 for Samanta's portfolio...

and us getting hat-envy!

I can't wait to see the final results... will post them when they are ready.

Dani Alves for Playboy

I finally managed to track down the April issue of Spanish Playboy, the lucky publication to be the first to credit me as a stylist's assistant. Hahaha. I wont annoy you with posting a close-up scan of my name in print...

Hannah and I are planning a series of portraits with hats and headpieces... Here are some of the pictures I've collected for inspiration...
