LE PAPILLON

Fashion Film Directed and shot for ASHTIANI (ashtiani.co.uk)
Le Papillon takes inspiration from balance of life and the surprising beauty and darkness of butterflies. This Fashion Film showcases ASHTIANI's organza collection by mimicking nature in its ability to merge and juxtapose the strength of bold silhouettes in structured jackets with the delicacy of silk and the fluidity and transparency of organza.

NEON RENAISSANCE A series of mesmerizing interactions between the  protagonist and the light hinting both ecstatic as well as downward passages of life.  Neon Renaissance portrays Beauty by raising our senses to a mood where Beauty is more than just a static glamorous frame but a process of how one experiences and dances the moments, trials and tribulations – She is beautiful.

Three Dutch models emoting and interacting randomly with a cinema lens during fashion photo shoot results in this beautiful reel: a cross-over between a fashion film and a fashion docu-journal. Here Come the Dutch visuals display the beauty of the process itself including its flaws: A celebration of creativity itself. Shot in Amsterdam.

LOVEMAUDES is a poetic theatre of strength, purpose and confidence, told in the language of fashion. It is about life. It is about.... beauty in motion, minimalism, transformative nature of dresses, nomadic innuendos between two sister warriors, juxtaposition of rigid and fluid, music boxes, and some free-form samurai dance!

A medley of creative passages by the talented and beautiful Sarah Abt (Elite, The Society, LA Models), a vintage swimming cap provided by the amazing makeup artist David Goveia (Judy Inc) and no lighting but only a $3 Canadian Tire small LED light, give birth to this improvised story later I titled "La Piscine Verte."

The motion reel to go with the cover-shoot of Harold Magazine February 2018 issue.

Lost in a style purgatory, Mr. X, is a classic man yearning and fighting to fit into a modern world. Told in the language of fashion with the undertones of luxury streetwear and sportswear, his conflict is played through the obscure visuals juxtaposing the dichotomy between commercial traditional brands and those of the emerging avant-garde labels. Featured as the Cover Story for the December 2106 issue of THE PULL magazine.
