Getting to work my friend & photographer Filip Konikowski is always a treat for me and this shoot was no different. We worked with Luke Toniolo of Giant Models to create the story that follows a modern dapper man on his way to work everyday of the week. My main objective in this shoot was to show that dressing up can be fun even when it’s an everyday occurrence.
Luke is such a strong versatile male and made the shots in this series effortless, maybe even a little too good as there was so many good frames to choose from. This piece, for my stylist friend Fridaa Balla’s new European magazine Mandrawn, looks at mens suiting through a different lite, and although it is shot entirely in Melbourne the mood of this shoot encorporates the luxury feel of Europe, the colourings of South America and London and the effortless cool of the typical modern man, wherever he may be .
