ART and SNAP on Elegance

Contrary to the prevailing canons of fashion, men have come to feel more at ease in showing their own style. You can see it in everyday dress, formal as well as evening. For our last photo session we focused on a classic style. Under the supervision of our stylist Marta Piszczyk we showed an elegant man, at the same time preserving his style and personality.

Jack Eyers - Personal Trainer & Fitness Model - B

I had elective surgery when I was 16 to have my leg amputated. I was born with a condition in my leg that worsened as I got older. I grew up being in constant, horrendous pain and I felt it held me back in life.

When I was 16 I was ashamed of it. I would wear 2 pairs of trousers just to hide it. Now I live in shorts! It's become a part of me, my signature.

I want to become a role model for other amputees or people that are struggling in life.

It's not about what you've got but how you use it!

My personal training business is busy and I'm loving every minute of it. I love to see people grow as a person and develop in confidence just through pushing their comfort zones.

I'm sponsored by NRG fuel but its not a full sponsorship. I want a full time sponsorship and to be the face of a product or clothing brand.

My goals for the year ahead are to further develop my business, start working with amputees, get full time sponsorship, enter fitness comps, achieve a modelling contract and get experience working in the USA!

James Woolley - Menswear Designer Meet James Woolley, a menswear designer for luxury fashion brand, Clements and Church.

After working in formalwear at leading department store, John Lewis, James acquired a passion for mens tailoring, leading him to attend seminars and workshops to learn the required skills to design himself.

Several years on, and the craftsman has since established himself at Clements and Church.

Selling everything from shirts and bags to ties and overcoats – there’s something from the brand to appeal to every gentleman. Working closely with a select group of cloth designers and mills also ensures each customer is provided with the highest quality material possible.

When it comes to the advice side of things, James believes someone naturally creative, who thinks outside the box, has the possible skills to succeed as a tailor. Inspiration wise, the designer takes great influence from old films, with individuals such as Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin proving to be of particular help.

The Post Apocalyptic Faun A collaboration between Darkslide Photography and Baneology Makeup artistry

Model Mark Whistler Photography Andy Simon / Darkslide Photography www.darkslidephotography.co.uk MUA Baneology www.baneology.com Jewellery Twisted Trinkets www.facebook.com/Twisted.Trinkets

The concept behind this set was to produce a series of images with a fantasy styling but with dark undertones, introducing elements of mythology and an almost post apocalyptic theme.

The shoot took place on Brighton beach in mid April with a backdrop of the sea and decaying pier behind. Timing was essential for this project to get the most of the low sun as a backlight and sidelight to the model, with a portable flash kit used to frontlight the model.

The makeup prep took around four hours, using traditional makeup techniques and airbrushing with a gold and bronzed look to give the feel of the faun’s natural skin colour, blending this with the models existing bodyart and tattoos.

A bespoke jewellery designer, Twisted Trinkets, was commissioned to produce the elvish ear pieces, made out of copper wire. They were made specifically to fit around the models ears.

Until an hour before we arrived at the bech there had been persistent rain and high winds throughout the day so the shoot was at risk of being a complete washout, however the clouds broke just as we arrived on site to a phenomenal sunset which made the perfect backdrop.
