Return of The Crown

Ladies and gentlemen I feel as though I owe you all an apology. For the past few months I have not been fulfilling my duties to you as an advocate of glamour. I can imagine you are all probably unimpressed with my lack of updates and for this I am truely sorry.

But fear not for I am back. After a journey of self discovery I have returned and I promise you, the next time I decide to go on hiatus, I will let you all know.

I bet you're wondering what I've been up to all this time. Patience my dear disciples, I'll let you know over the next few posts. In the mean time I would like to introduce you to a dear friend of mine.

Marie Absolom photograpy

Marie and I have worked together on 2 occasions now (and there will be many more in the future) She's a very talented photographer, below are some examples of what we did.

Yeah I know there's some womenswear in there. I tried to slip it in without anyone noticing but it just wasn't gonna happen. The truth is that I have opened up my spectrum of work to the fairer sex. Why? Because the money is fucking great! That's why!


Stay tuned for the next instalment of Return of the crown

SUPERSUPER issue 13

DISTURBAN

So A few months ago I did a shoot for SUPERSUPER with the amazingly talented and just down right sexy Zach Burns. I turned him into a Glamorous Man and I know he is definitely loving what I did.

I also got to work with Akio who is the most amazing photographer and lighting technician I have ever known. Click Here for more of his work.

The idea behind the shoot is that the subject, Zach has entered an environment unknown to him. He is clearly not dressed for his "urban" surroundings which as a result has left him "Disturban". I could write a whole manifesto on the concept but I'll just let the images speak for themselves...

You'll notice the Swarovski studded motorcycle helmet is a very present force in the 3rd image. I think this shoot personifies my style as an individual. The day of this shoot I was feeling very very ill. By the middle of the day I was literally on the floor trying to keep myself together. The sweltering heat didn't help either. In all honesty, I can't complain too much because zach is the one who truly felt the full effects of the summer temperatures. Especially in all the clothes I put him in. It was all worth it in the end though. I'm very proud of what we achieved.

You can buy SUPERSUPER from all good news agents but not from any bad ones. You can also order it online HERE. Maybe even buy a subscription.

P.S
Some of the clothes are creased but you cant see them because it's too dark!

Photographic Leagends (who aren't called David LaChapelle) pt1

His name is Rick Day. He is based in New York.

If money wasn't an issue I would send a jet to pick him up and fly him over here just so that I could work with him. Rick day has a distinctive style of photography that truly does inspire. Every image he creates is so perfectly composed as though each shot were an individual work of art. From the razor sharp styling to the perfectly cast models there are no faults to be found.

Just see for yourself...

(I've featured the boiler suit below in issues 12 and 13 of SUPERSUPER;-)

I would jump like a rabid dog at any opportunity to work with such an amazing photographer. His style would be a perfect fit for the Glamorous Man aesthetic. Click Here to see more of his work.
