... there is movement, glossy movement always...
-- amyn nasser
Statement:
My work comprises of a spontaneous combustion of drama in cinematic tonalities I set up which brings out character tones of a split second capture perhaps somewhere sometime in my dreams or through the "sway" of East West Cultural Influences, however, regardless the woman is always empowered with her femininity - and style. It is an essence of a (the) moment, that is it, - which can be missed. I don't particularly "Pose" unless the "Pose" is a "Pose", if you get it. We are a Pose.
The work is Timeless. I do not keep any relevance to styles or trends going out as they never do. That, to me, is a misconception. Classy is knowing who you are.
The branding campaigns, advertising, editorial projects I have "shot" over the years have a clear imprint of my twist of style with a visual sensory journey. Most often with campaigns or editorials, the success of the project was large, and a sellout of the product - no matter if a luxury handbag, stocking, pantie, liptstick or bow tie, or magazine story.
Fait Accompli. It is All Glossy!
