The Softer SexI met Hester during the time I was shooting for my book Breastfeeding 101 in about 2017. It was at this time that I also started working alongside Hester and her beautiful growing family, documenting the milestones of her little ones lives. This shoot was taken when Nordin was 3 months old.
I shot a small series of maternity portraits of beautiful Romy in studio just a month or so before she gave birth to her twins via an emergency c-section at Kingsbury Hospital.
I shot this pictorial for the 2nd quarter issue of Design Indaba Magazine 2009. Cover above and opening DPS below.
The shoot theme centred around gender power or gender balance in the domestic environment. We used a lot of cabling and many appliances for the shoot as well as some composite work. The job was shot in three locations: The Grand Daddy Hotel in Long Street, Cape Town, and two set hire shops in Salt River.
Below are a series of behind the scenes images from this shoot. It was a very fun and creative project to work on.
