Maja Simonsen for Oyster

   

Last month I travelled to London to shoot a couple of editorials. This is the first one that has been published, with Maja @ Premier for Oyster Magazine. I had been wanting to shoot for Oyster for a while so seeing my photos in their website is really great news!

The stylist of the shoot was James Mitchell, who was amazing and also let us use his flat as a base. Erin Kristensen was the MUA and Roger Cho was the hair stylist, both did a great job. Photographer Hollie Fernando, whom I've featured in Girls on Film many times, also came to give me hand.

As you can see in the photos, the weather was perfect and we managed to find some amazing blooming trees that helped setting the spring and playful mood for the shoot.

This is one of my favourite editorials I've ever taken. If you want to see the rest of the photos at better quality you can do it on my website:

The Eternal Traveller Syndrome Group Show

Last month I participated in The Eternal Traveller Syndrome, a group show curated by Antonio Cervera & Ana G. Chouciño taking place at gallery Interview Room 11 in Edinburgh.

From the moment we move, we don’t belong anywhere anymore, or perhaps we belong to everywhere at the same time. This exhibition analyzes different strategies to place ourselves in our context, to reconcile who we have been and who we have become.

I showed a selection of photographs from my personal series I Used to Live Here and Oblivion, which deal with the concept of 'home'. Here are some images of my wall in the gallery space.

Street Dreams - Vanidad Magazine

   

Last January I travelled to London to shoot an editorial for Spanish fashion magazine Vanidad.

I worked with stylist Lucía Silva, whom I had wanted to work with for a while, and the model was Kit Alexander @ Models 1. We were lucky to rent an interior skate park in Shoreditch, inside a warehouse which was actually going to be demolished shortly after the shoot. We also shot some looks outside (like the Prada total look, my favourite) although it was completely freezing!

You can still find the magazine at newsstands across Spain and you can see all the photos from the editorial on my website:

PS I was in London again a couple of weeks ago and shot two editorials, can't wait to share them here!

Young Fathers

 

A couple of months ago I shot alternative hip-hop trio Young Fathers for the programme of Dutch music festival WTWTA. Young Fathers are based here in Edinburgh and this year everyone is talking about them so just give them a listen if you haven't done it yet!

You can find more images from the shoot on my website:

10 Shoegaze Songs T-Shirts

 

Last month, I decided to create a few t-shirts with the 'Just Like Honey' (The Jesus and Mary Chain) image from my personal series/video '10 Shoegaze Songs'. I first talked about them on Facebook and people seemed to like them so decided to order a second batch and also include another one with the 'Sometimes' (My Bloody Valentine) image.

 

For those of you who haven't seen '10 Shoegaze Songs' before, it is a small personal project I developed one year ago while I was back at my parents' home in Spain for Easter. I filmed the video with a Hi8 camera and took 10 stills representing 10 of my favourite shoegaze songs.

The photos below are from a shoot I did with blogger Melisa Minca in Edinburgh. If you're interested in the t-shirt you can buy it here:

I Heart Magazine Glasgow issue

 

Last November I was contacted by French Magazine I Heart to shoot an editorial for them. This quarterly publication travels to a new city in every issue and last autumn its team came to Scotland for a couple months to work on I Heart Glasgow.

For this editorial, we moved around the city and we visited a few of my favourite photography locations in Glasgow: Barrowland, the concrete buildings of Sighthill, the M8 motorway across the city centre... Despise a horrible weather forecast (foggy and almost no visibility) the night before the shoot, the sun shone during the whole day and we managed to have some amazing light.

You can buy a copy of the magazine if you live in France or you can also order it here.

The whole editorial is now on my website as well:

6 photographs of London

 

Last week I went to London for a company meeting with my day job and decided to stay for the weekend. I hadn't been in London in ages so it was good to catch up with some friends, meet new people and shoot a fashion editorial that you'll see really soon! 

Also, come back in a few days to see the editorial I shot for I Heart Magazine in Glasgow in November. The magazine was out yesterday and you can get a copy if you live in France. 

ALOHA TATÁ S/S 14 Campaign

 

Last Christmas during my trip to Spain, I left my hometown for a few days to travel to Asturias and shot the first campaign of forthcoming fashion label ALOHA TATÁ.

I studied my Bachelor Degree in Asturias and I always try to spend some days there every time I travel to Spain. I love Asturias and I loved the location that Aida Menendez, the founder of ALOHA TATÁ , had chosen for the campaign - a beautiful cabin located in a little village close to Ribadesella.

During our early drive from Gijon to the cabin we were crossing our fingers, hoping the weather was nice. It seemed to work. The sun shone all morning and even the temperature wasn't that bad at all for being December 28th!

I shot Sol, whom I had photographed a few times before, inside the cabin and at the beach just next to it. She looked amazing and the clothes and location worked great together.

 

If you've enjoyed this little preview, you can see more photos from the campaign on my website:
