Shaun Stander's Blog: Bright Colours

In my pursuit to update my commercial portfolio, I decided to shoot some fresh images as well as recommissioning some older ones. The clients were extremely varied and drawn out of a hat. I pitched a concept to Black Dog Video, a specialty dvd rental store that stock many hard to find and unique films and came up with the "DVD Guru" concept "Consult the Guru..". I also did a shoot for Smith Dry-cleaners with the "For the Messy Eater" concept. A product shot of the new AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone for Audio-Technica. Kelly Slater was photographed in Jeffries Bay, South Africa shortly after one of the events. I also found this old Dolly Parton / Heartbreaker 8-Track and a homemade Screeching Weasel / How to make enemies and irritate people cassette tape in the basement of a Salvation Army thrift store. It was a lot of hard work getting everything organized (especially because most of these images were shot within 24 hours) and I would just like to thank everyone who helped make it happen.. Kevin Roberts, Jean-Mare Theron, Malcolm Tweedy, Anastasia Blackwell (makeup), Elenny Rodriguez for the great beard and Joe from Black Dog and everyone at Duffin's Dounuts on Knight.. oh yeah and Tyler Durton. Thanks.
