Sofitel Girls Day Out
The ‘BIG things’ Playground Campaign for the 2016 Melbourne Cup Carnival is an extension of the acclaimed Victorian Racing Club Melbourne Cup Carnival 2015 Campaign ‘Welcome to the Kingdom’. Sofitel Girls Day out focuses on women, with the emphasis being on ‘play’ and ‘dressing up’. The campaign features ‘racing royalty’ from jockeys, to trainers, ambassadors, socialites, and media. The campaign was shot over ten days, one of which took place at an indoor equestrian arena where the horses were captured in motion.

Let girls be girls

A brilliant initiative by Covergirl, #letgirlsbegirls is about slowing things down, about ensuring makeup is fun, not a fix for flaws or a way to make improvements. It’s about girls embracing who they are – little girls! Bronwyn shot Tegan Martin, Miss Universe Australia for the cover of a national magazine in makeup done by a 5 year old girl. The panellists on channel 10’s ‘Studio 10’ also showed their support of Covergirl’s campaign appearing on-air in makeup done by a team of young girls. Covergirl’s ongoing initiative aims to put an end to the early sexualisation of little girls. Watch this space!

Seb Winter shoots the new STORM advertising campaign for Beni Durrer

“Strong as a STORM but tender as a breeze” that is Beni Durrer’s description of the angel-like muse of his autumn muse. In the young Russian’s eyes heaven and hell do come together. I was surrounding her baby-blue eyes with flaming browns shades, some mysterious slay-tones and added extra deep black mascara for her lashes. Her persona is so sensual, chaste but tempting, like an elemental force. “She just raised a storm in me” Creative Director Beni Durrer smiles…

Dial M for mascara, Seb Winter shoots beauty editor Sali Hughes for the Guardian Weekend

Sali Hughes waxes lyrical about make up the way music aficionados chart their passage of rights through their collection of vinyl and concert ticket stubs.

“Just as we chart life’s journey through music, food and places, I also attribute the same importance and sentimentality to the beauty products I saw, touched and smelled all around me. These aren’t just products. This isn’t just a toolbox. It’s a time capsule, and everything in it takes me back to a moment – a hope, a mistake, an achievement. These unassuming bits and pieces each have their own significance and collectively add up to something as potent as any long-lost cassette compilation. They’re my beauty mixtape.”

The cost of nothing the value of everything by Cambridge Jones

“I’ve now photographed seven Prime Ministers (including our recently installed one), The Queen and everyone from Al Pacino to P Diddy. I literally value what I do; I take time to get the lighting and my portrait subject just right (an hour or two on average). For the most part my subjects also value what I do; otherwise they wouldn’t give up the time in their otherwise busy lives. They know it will help them to have strong, relaxed and ‘truthful’ images”.
