Adam Robertson and Madame Bink on tour - Zoe Fest Australia 2010

I'm Home....

So I'm back from my travels with a rather larger abundance of images to edit than I'd planned on. I wasn't sure if I'd be shooting on my travels but plans change and in the end I managed to shoot four models from various countries around the world, and lots of stuff with my beautiful girlfriend Madame Bink.

For those of you who don't know, we went to Australia via Singapore and Back to London via Hong Kong. Singapore and Hong Kong was a great experience and we got to see lots and do lots in a short space of time. (more about those to come in another blog) Australia was all about one thing, getting to mission beach and finally meeting all of the 2010 attendees of Zoe Fest. 

What is Zoe Fest?

"It’s basically an artist retreat/vacation, meeting of like minded people It is a private gathering of artists who are also members of ARTnudes Network or Community Zoe. We usually shoot during the day and have nightly activities, like slide shows, print trading, socializing, BBQs, dinners… we go do touristy things together, etc. Tis a lot of fun. You can come and just hang out if you don’t want to shoot, you can shoot, whatever. It’s your own plan makings during the day. We don’t set anything up nor are we responsible for your daily activities. We normally have a ”hello” meeting at the start of the get together so everyone can meet each other."

"Zoe Fest is not a commercial endeavour."

(So for those of you who were confused there's a little bit of information about the gathering.)

This was my first ever attendance of an event of this type, and I was rather nervous about fitting into a pre existing group of friends, of which I'd had very little contact. But from the very first meeting in Cairns with Phil Chaplin and Malcolm Grant I knew that were going to be good times ahead. I was impressed with the mixture of models and photographers from all over the world and how welcoming everyone was and what great friendships had been built at the previous events. 

Here's a couple of travel photos from Mission Beach to wet your appetite for the shoots to come.

I'm off on Holiday tomorrow..... Yey!

So Madame Bink and I are currently in a crazy flurry of packing ready for our travels tomorrow. We're heading to Frankfurt in the evening to catch our connecting flight to Singapore. From Singapore we'll be heading onto Australia for 2 1/2 weeks, before heading for a few days of shopping and pampering in Hong Kong before the 13 hour flight home.

Finally before I go to sleep.... Living in a crazy busy house it often means that there's lots of models, make-up artists, stylists and photographers floating around. A few weeks ago Gestalta was staying over as she was busy shooting with Stefano Brunesci and and also some natural portraits with Binkography. I managed to grab a few moments with her before she left to do a few photos so here they are...

Gestalta forgot to bring underwear :(

Gestalta has a love for the weird wild and naked, so welcome Miss Piggy

Be prepared for a lot of travel blogs whilst I'm away (if I can find places to upload and blog) If I cannot do them whilst I'm away I'll be spoon feeding them as I'm back with lots of photos and stories.

Inspiration of the Month: "The Girls of 2pm" by Henrik Adamsen

Inspiration of the month: The Girls of 2pm by Henrik Adamsen - Taken from Fashion Gone Rogue *check it out

This months inspiration comes in a rather plain, simple, relaxed and casual form by Henrik Adamsen.

"Photographer Henrik Adamsen offers us a peak at the latest show cards from Danish agency, 2pm. When shooting the girls, Adamsen decided less was more with black and white studio shots featuring the models in semi states of undress. The result is a beautiful series of portraits that include girls with varying levels of experience such as Maria Heloisa, Louise Pedersen, Claudia, Malene Knudsen, Dorte, Charlotte, Anna Trosko, Agnete Hegelund and more. Take a look as the girls strip down for the upcoming spring season." Written by Joanna

London Fashion Week is here...

If there's a buzz around Internet land at the moment it's because it's London Fashion week, and everyone is ready for shows, parties and none stop busy. If you want to see who is on and when, be sure to check out the Show Schedule.

I sadly couldn't make it to any of the parties as I'm so busy right now before my ever closer travels to Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong. I cannot wait to get on the plane and enjoy a few weeks of relaxation away from work and the UK.

If you want to watch the live streaming though be sure to check out the following link: http://www.londonfashionweeklive.co.uk

Latex goodness from Lady Lucie

It doesn't surprise me that latex is becoming an ever increasingly popular and 'in fashion' item at this moment in time. The way that it clings to the body creating flowing shapes and contours creates the most beautiful images.

Lady Lucie had dropped Binkertson-HQ an email to see if we'd be able to shoot a new dress for launch on her luscious website. I think Madame Bink was correct in saying it was one of the quickest turn around we'd had. With the photos and editing being completed within 24 hours Lucie was able to launch her dress to the world in record time. 

You can see some images of the beautiful dress on the website. I'm looking forward to pitching some ideas to Lucie soon for some editorials featuring some of her wonderful garments, mixed with some pieces from some other very exciting designers.

Some images of the ever so tall lady Issy

I recently had the pleasure of working with a model that I stumbled upon on Modelmayhem. At 6' 1" and having an epic afro, I knew that I had to take her photo. Her portfolio was very diverse, ranging from beautiful art nudes shot by Christian Hough to editorial fashion by Ian Cole.

We'd decided to shoot some high key nude work and some location fashion shots. It didn't take long for Issy to find her catalogue of poses and we got through all of our ideas in record time. I can definitely recommend Issy to anyone looking for a model capable of shooting Nude to Fashion.  

In other news my editorial that was shot with Stefanie St Clair and Lyndsey Harrison with clothing by Harold Kensington has been accepted by a magazine so it shouldn't be too long before I've got the tear-sheets to share from that.

Being a lover of pigs, and one day hoping to have my own miniature pig, this editorial caught my eye. How can you go wrong with this beautiful model?
