The Handsome Project – part 1

June 18th, 2012

If you don’t know Australian swimwear label We Are Handsome – do yourself a favour and check them out.  They make really fun (not always traditional) bathing suits.  They also collaborate with photographers under The Handsome Project.  I was fortunate enough to be chosen to participate and so I grabbed some of the pieces and started planning an epic shoot.  Sadly, at the last minute, all my plans fell through and I ended up doing two completely different, last minute shoots instead.  To read about the adventure (and see some more photos), check out my interview for The Handsome Project.

These are some alternate shots from the second shoot – featuring the lovely Sacha Edwards (with Q model mgmt).  This was our first time working together and she quickly became one of my favourites to shoot.  We drove around the Venice alleys and stopped when something caught our eyes.
