August, 2014

I have one of the best jobs in the world and believe me I appreciate it. Working with a client like Red Bull I’m constantly put into the most stimulating environments with the most inspiring of people. A double whammy of awesomeness sets the stage on which I work. It’s a team effort when it comes to Red Bull. I can only shoot what is in front of me and for that I give a huge shout out to the team that makes it all happen.

That brings us to Red Bull X-Fighters. The Union Buildings in Pretoria played host to the final round of the 2014 X-Fighters season with a closely contested race for the title between Josh Sheehan of Australia and Levi Sherwood of New Zealand. Due to a hard crash and a seriously tweaked ankle during the qualifiers, Levi Sherwood was unable to compete properly and it was Josh Sheehan who took both the stage and series win.

Here are a few shots from my Saturday night at the Red Bull stage at this years Oppikoppi. Not as conceptual as the Snapshot Symphony but still managed to have fun testing out my new Nikon 14-24mm lens. Also have a couple of shots of Zebra and Giraffe coming out in the Red Bulletin magazine. Will share those next month. Next up though is the Red Bull X-Fighters in Pretoria this weekend which I am really looking forward to.

I’ve been shooting Wrangler’s lookbooks for a while now and this one has been my favourite to date. A small team, an early morning and a remote location found via a trance party in the middle of nowhere were the recipe for a great days shoot. This was Craig Maxwell Webster’s first time modelling and if I were in an old hollywood production I’d have told him “you did good kid”. Craig is one cool cat, he lives an inspiring approach to life – As his instagram bio reads, “I assist photographers to make money, I make money to buy petrol, I burn petrol to make my life an adventure” . Knowing Craig is an adventure in itself. Oh the stories he can tell….
