looking back over last year i had so many great experiences and opportunities. i was able to travel to many places i've been dying to visit for sometime, collaborate and meet great people along the way who i have formed great friendships with and also dabble in some unexpected and exciting projects. here's a quick glimpse back into 2012.
a little while back i had the pleasure of working with cara g and a photographer favorite of mine, dicky manana.
the concept was simple, a little bit of luxury, a little bit of hip-hop, and a little bit moody. we only had a little bit of time too so am really happy with how the shots turned out.
there was no doubt that cara would deliver, she went above and beyond, and as did dicky. both putting themselves at risk, literally living on the edge. i'm freaked out by heights so watching the two of them on the edge of a roof wasn't exactly fun for me, but it was definitely worth it.
cara g is awesome! a really cool girl, heaps of confidence, and is up for anything. she's not afraid to try different things and unlike me, is not afraid of heights.
for some reason i find myself in situations involving high ledges, i don't understand how this happens considering it is the last place i want to be. while my brother was in town, i'm pretty sure i had never been more scared of someone falling off the side of a building, well until now. cara had no problems with laying, sitting or standing right out on the edge! so crazy! and equally, so impressed! had an awesome shoot with her and will definitely be working together again soon.
i pulled together a great team for the shoot, was able to work with one of my favorites again, dicky, who i have to gives props to. he did amazing, couldn't even tell he was feeling really ill.
here are some shots i took of cara, who would have thought that such a sweet person could turn into a straight up g!
