RARE AND RE-DISCOVERED
“Deep beneath Lake Pieman lays some of Australia’s rarest timber species.
Each piece we hand select is unique; and has its own story to tell.
Seamlessly fusing materials, creating a product where architecture meets eyewear.”
SEBASTIAN BLAKE
That is (in brief) the brand story behind the soon to be released eyewear label - Sebastian Blake.
I was recently approached by Melbourne stylist Kirby Hughes to shoot the second component of the Sebastian Blake launch campaign.
After having one half of the campaign shot in Tasmania; the home of Lake Pieman and their unique timber element. The guys from Sebastian Blake wanted to shoot the remainder of the campaign in a way that complemented the more architectural / urban side to their frames.
Working with Kirby, we decided on four locations to shoot the eight different frames. With the locations covering a range backdrops, from clean lines and natural tones to pastels and urban grit.
From a photography standpoint it was important to capture not only full and half body campaign images, but also the finer details of the frames - in particular the uniqueness of the timber used in each.
Here’s a small selection of what we came up with…
Kit:
Canon 5dIV + 24-70 2.8
Canon EOS R + 70-100 2.8
