Monica Bellucci

Monica Bellucci was in Tokyo a few years ago to promote her movie HEART TANGO,
I was assigned to take her photographs for VOCE magazine!
I was expecting Monica to be like a typical italian...very loud and outgoing,
but she is a very quiet, sweet and very beautiful woman!

Claudia Schiffer

I shot top model Claudia Schiffer in a Hotel in Tokyo sometime ago,
she came with her mother to the shooting,
I wanted to take 5 different pictures but we ran out of time when I was shooting the 4th one,
(she had an TV interviem scheduled)
to everyones surprise she asked me to shoot the last one quickly and it turned out to be the best shot!

there is definitly a “Brigitte Bardot” thing about her!!

shooting Beastie Boys was nothing but fun,
their music was pumping loud in the studio,
everybody in such a good mood, making funny faces,
dancing to the beat!

all you need is good music and a couple of wide angle lenses!

SUIREN 2009 spring-summer catalogue

SUIREN spring-summer catalogue was devided in 2 diferent parts,
in the first one we tried to explore the lightness of the clothes,...so we had the models jumping and dancing and the fans blowing strong wind to give a sense of moviment on the pictures!!

and this is the “making of” video,....good fun!!






the second part of the shooting was related to Hollywood in the 40’s,...kind of “drag-king” look where the models were pretending to be men!
