Back in 2015, we were commissioned by a regular client to take their product on location for an industrial warehouse inspired shoot. This gave us a chance to get really creative, building many different looks within a single space. Shoots like this come with an array of challenges as the images are required to fit various different specs for print adverts, online use and editorial usage. Shot on location in Edinburgh, Scotland.

MI: Early morning call-time, lighting, make-up and hair. The crew rolls in and, like a well oiled machine, the beginnings of a nationwide salon campaign is underway.

We spent the better part of two weeks working from sun up to sundown. And what better place to be in the month of May—working or not—but Miami Beach. Situated between South Beach and downtown Miami is the Design District. This was our home away from home for about 10 hours a day. It’s a mecca for artists; from graffiti to fine dining, and sculptors and photographers. I felt confident—and grateful for our location scout—about this locale being the perfect backdrop for our photoshoot. I met Hamish and Matt from HCP the first day of the shoot at model casting, and meshed well with their laid back approach, as this is how I approach just about everything. I do love a good challenge but I tend to ease into it, personally. And easy it was.

We worked with models from all corners of the globe, from commercial to runway and even a former reigning beauty queen of Cuba, an aspiring hip-hop singer, and a documentary film crew diver—who flew in fresh from filming in the Bahamas. The time flew by, capturing shot after shot. Twenty-four models walked through the doors of Carousel Studios and made the epic shoot a grand success. We only took time off to break for food, or to just bust-a-move in the middle of the studio.

When I look back on the amazing individuals involved in the massive project I can’t stop grinning. We made so many memories with our new friends, and on the clock or not I’d work with any of these folks again in a nanosecond.

It was almost bitter sweet to end the two weeks of a hundred-plus hours, because I knew I’d miss my new friends. A collaboration of beautiful hair, makeup, photography and direction moves us all through this story. Creating images and memories to last a lifetime; or at least until someone yells “that’s a wrap!”  

There are few things nicer than being asked to shoot in your home city. Edinburgh has a charm that is hard to define. It would be easy to say that it’s a visually beautiful city with its castle, palace, parliament and host of rich architecture. But it is it’s undulations, it’s curves, it’s peeks and troughs upon which the city lays that splits it’s personality and leads to it’s diversity. It’s people are serious without being sullen and the town has a self cautious undercurrent meaning you pretty much get left too get on with it. For me, shooting in Edinburgh is a joy. Each park and garden is a journal entry, every street a postcard and most of the cities main buildings play host to stories, myths and legend from not just my own childhood but the thousands of kids that ran the streets before me.

This month we had the some fun with a tribe of models from the Model Team agency. This year we talked the agency into shooting a Winter Campaign along side their yearly Holiday Card. With some help from agency stylist Ian Tod, and teams from Rainbow Rooms International (of BBC fame) and The Make Up Academy we shot 45 models in all. Here are some of the images from the shoot.

This collaboration with KRISTIAN LABAK Creative Director @ Teviot Creative Agency was a whole lot of fun.

The brief: Shoot flexible images for a client introduction book, agency website and app. These should show clients not only the staffs faces but some of their personality and interests using imagery. These portraits will be accompanied by Teviot’s ‘Three Little Words’ to simply describe their purpose and core principles.
