As you know, I have now done many photoshoots with beautiful female models, but had yet to shoot with a male model, and when I met Remy at The Russian Fashion show back in February, I knew his look and personality would be perfect for the story I had in mind for my shoot. I had been watching 'The Talented Mr Ripley' and had been really inspired by the styling in the movie and in particular, the styling, look and attitude of the character Dickie Greenleaf, played by Jude Law. Also, I noticed that the nautical look, with the boat shoes and turned up chinos, were coming into style for mens' fashion this spring/summer, so wanted to work with that. Marc knew the film well and together we decided that we should use this as our inspiration for the shoot, but also wanted to play around and perhaps get something a little less polished and styled and a bit more modern.
Unfortunately, we had a slight snag when the stylist we had found dropped out, so at the last minute, I decided to style the shoot myself. This is the first shoot on which I was co-producer/art director, hair and make-up artist and stylist, and to be honest, it was a little hard to concentrate on everything, but I think we got some great results. Remy was fantastic to work with and brought great energy and enthusiasm to the shoot, and Marc, as always, was a pleasure to work with and I think it's a testament to his great photography that Models 1 have put our photos on Remy's online portfolio. I hope to work with Marc again soon on other shoots.
So, here are the long-awaited photos. I hope you like them...comments always welcome.More photos will be posted on my facebook page shortly, so be sure to keep an eye out!
