Boys Town for JON Magazine

This is my latest editorial work featured in the December 2013 issue of JON Magazine, a UK based menswear publication.  I shot this with my friends Saty + Pratha back in November right before it started to get really frigid here in Toronto.  Taras @ Elite agency was our model for the day and Olivia Colacci @ Plutino did the hair/makeup.

Originally titled "Drifter", S+P had come up with a story about a lone hitman or 'anti-hero' type of leading man - an elusive, well dressed, macho kind of bad boy.  We started out the day in an industrial area of Toronto, then after a bit of car trouble, made our way back to their studio for some indoor shots as well.

The finished story features only black and white in the printed issue, but I was in love with the pops of bright red and royal blue featured throughout in both the clothing and the locations so I have included some unpublished images as well.

Special thanks to a few local brands such as Thomas Balint and Christopher Bates for lending clothing as well as shops such as Gravity Pope, Over The Rainbow and Mama Loves You Vintage.

Boys By Girls Issue 5 Double Covers

I'm so proud to share with you the twin covers for issue 5 of Boys By Girls magazine that I styled alongside Editor-in-Chief, photographer and my friend Cecilie Harris. Cecilie brought me in to act as Fashion Editor for this issue and I was so thrilled to be a part of it.  Already having a great fan base, a very personal and approachable mood and a wealth of talented female photographers on board, Cecilie asked me to up the fashion content of the issue by bringing in a mixture of luxury brands like Vivienne Westwood MAN which the smouldering Matthew Bell wears on the cover (love that orange tartan!).



Issue 5 is also the first time that BBG featured any talent and were lucky enough to have the chance to work with X Factor boy band UNION J.  I collaborated with Topman and Kurt Geiger shoes which were featured on the cover, as well as Christopher Shannon who outfitted some of the looks inside the issue.  It's on sale now so get it while you can!
