These last few weeks have been insane, I've been working around the clock trying to fit everything in my life in. I must admit I've been very slack on my final project for my degree...
Anyway, delayed, but as promised, here is a brief overview of the shoot that I did in Cape Town.
The first shot I attempted was inspired by Dave Lachapelle, ok, I think I fell way way short, but I left room for that outcome in my expectations, it's not as simple as think of some crazy stuff and you can even closely duplicate his work. But I'll attempt again sometime.

On the left we have a shot of us shooting, I painted this massive 5m x 1.5m material prop for the dock... but under estimated in alot of ways.
- Enamel Paint is very very very sticky.
- Stuff gets wet when you involve water.
- You can't iron enamel paint.
On the right, you can see the Hasselblad 500CM I used, what an astonishing piece of equipment, so easy to use, yet so strong, and beautiful and professional. I must say, it is a skill trying to wield that thing around with a ringflash, and a prism... and try and get focus while directing the shoot. Every time u move the ringflash you have to re-meter, and don't think that 'this one time' you will get away with it.

On the left we have Jenna, and on the right Ryan (Lamb). The whole shoot was done in Paarl, at Ryan's family farm... An absolutely beautiful place, filled with perfect places to shoot. Along with some of the most beautiful weather for shooting in the world. The last is a picture of some of the equipment I was using, a Canon 20D, a Profoto 7b pack, head, lightmeter, and a reflector/scrim. I used the 20D to do lighting proofs before I commited to film on the Hasselblad.

Again, theres me with the Hasselblad.

Here's another 2 different shots that I did.

And the team that helped me do this.
From left: Dimitri, Angelos, Jaimie, Myself, Jenna, Ryan & Greg.
Many thanks to:
- Everyone on the day, including the Gunther family for letting me shoot on the farm.
- Warren & Saki @ Oshin Clothing
- Michelle @ Roodebloem Studios for the equipment rental
The Results: (so far... more to come)
