Rats !

We had a lot of fun on the set of this shoot. Brian the rat was on his best behavior and the beautiful Ellen Danes was such a good sport for putting up with having him crawl all over her all day for the photos. Here he is trying to escape after giving us a tune on the piano. See the whole shoot here. 

Neil Krug

Truly inspiring imagery by promo director by Neil Krug. Read about him in an interview on Fecal Face. We salute you Neil. 

Alejandra Quesada

In January this year I was lucky enough to be invited to Mexico City to stay with designer Alejandra Quesada. After discovering a mutual appreciation of each others work, she asked me to shoot her latest collection . The trip was a great success, I shot several stories, including portraits of new Mexican talent for i-D magazine. I also got to avoid the winter blues for a few weeks and made a great new friend. 

We bought all these amazing creatures in the local craft markets, and used them in the shoot. I now have some living in my house as a reminder of a great trip. Mexico is a truly inspiring and colourful place, now I just have to go back for Day of the Dead. 

Thanks for everything Ale xxx
