Once in a black room...

It's been a year ago since I did the crazies shoot with 16 models all in a back room with neon light. It was an amazing adventure and the most grilling two days of work. And a hell a lot of excitement!!!

Punch me please!!!

Ideally an image should be like a good punch in the face... It should knock you out. Sometimes for a fraction of a second... Sometimes forever.

Celia Celia Ceee-L-iii-aaaA!!!

Celia is one of my favourite people to point a camera at! Ok... first - she is a TOTAL BABE. And a real free spirit! Normally she is: going off to Japan, falling in love, making amazing dolls, getting her arm tattooed, logging suitcase across London for one more bonkers editorial, performing at Glastonbury...... and LIVING and BEING ALIVE!!!

One sunny day in September.... I came across!

Leigh Francis doing a spoof documentary in Covent Garden! One of the funnies people on British TV!!! Just for a little dance I got him to pose for my vintage camera "from the past". I AM VERY SCARED NOW TO WATCH NEXT BO SELECTA....

POLAROID

Probably my very first picture... My favourite Marc Jacobs boots look so new... Ahhhh!

Charlie Le Mindu... looking back!

How incredible was Charlie Le Mindu SS10 collection... I remember this feeling of high voltage excitement! Styling by Hope Von Joel, bag by Gabriella Marina Gonzalez.

All tomorrow's Parties...

You can catch somebody in a moment of real emotion that was alive there and them. One you could never recreate again...

IT'S ALL ABOUT CHANEL!!!

The beginning of each story is this... things you are totally obsessed about. OK... Bows - Chanel - Tomorrow's party's by Steven Meisel - LV - Charlie Le Mindu - Lanvin - Lina Osterman's wigs! La la la...

CHINA CNINA!!!

I always though that Shanghai must be one of the most glamorous destinations one can ever travel... Ever since Marlene Dietrich made it SO! One day I hope my arrival to Shanghai will be greeted just like this!

Marcel Duchamp

Some people say Marcel Duchamp opened a door to all the crap art in the world... He would probably say - that depends on what is good art? I love this art work - it's simple and yet makes everything turn upside down... it has a poetry and beauty...

UNPUBLISHED

Sometimes some interesting work doesn't see the light of day... here you go. Photographed in my favorite shop Kokon Tozai in Portobello by Akio. I love these old tiles...
