Take on Pierre Spies

I shot the “Take on Pierre Spies” campaign visuals for Virgin Active which ran during the recent Rugby World Cup which was a hugely successful campaign.

Karma Malas Campaign

Andrew Brauteseth — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:23:26 +0000

Showing signature entrepreneurial flair, Meghan MacCallum (also one of the personalities who brought us Jack Black Beer) has launched her own jewelry line. We were looking for a new face for this first campaign and after an intensive casting process we found Jess. Although the idea for the shoot was quite simple, we we trying to avoid overused locations (Bakoven rocks seems like the rite of passage to any beach photo shoots in Cape Town). Slightly surreal moment during the shoot when a massive bulldozer kept on creeping past our location. And then model made friends with the bulldozer driver. “What a big machine you have.” Shoestring productions made this beautiful behind the scenes video of the shoot.

Mavericks of Chance

Shoot Day 4. We’ve passed hilarious hour. That hour when everybody is so tired and brain-fried that sentences only arrive via jumbled adjectives and high school girl-giggle. That was 3 hours ago. It’s now 4am. The crew is tired. Really tired. In that late night numbing navy seal on a island mission kind of tired. Trying to be on edge but really wanting to fall into sweet R.E.M. bliss with the sheep and the soft grass and the stars and the… let me stop just there. Late night tiredness is different to normal tiredness. Late night tiredness is a coffee fueled sober drunkenness. It’s like having a full night out in Stellenvagas accompanied by Maties 1st and no brandy. This is the 4th day we’ve been shooting 7pm to 4am on location. Jokes are dry. Throats are dry. Neuron transmitters are dry. I’m shooting on super high ISO’s in almost pitch dark. It’s not easy. Light is scarce because we want that gritty doccie style in the pics so we’re use what little ambient light we find bouncing around. The results look good and I’m loving my primes. The 85mm f1.2 especially. It’s Canon’s fastest piece of glass.

People on set cluster in swarms. Everyone has a swarm. There’s an Art department and Make-Up swarm. A Grip and Gaffer swarm. An Agency swarm. A Models and Actors swarm. I cross the invisible swarm line and try make small talk with the grips. Have I mentioned grips? I love grips. Grips are awesome. Years in the force. Their medals are their stories. Living and breathing soldiers of set. Tying, jumping, lighting, scrimming, propping, rigging, roping, hauling, lolli-popping, three-quarter stop 12ft scrim maxi-brute on the flippen arri 5k heads. Hey lets fokken super-clamp that bliksem. They’re like SWAT but with boeps and camo cargo pant and crocodile clips and afrikaans accents. The agency swarm is young and fun. Apple inter-3G Twitpicing on iPhones and mac pads. Steve Jobs would be proud.

Halo is a ‘brand led communications agency’. Their introduction runs like a dinner party icebreaker, “So an accountant and a lawyer start this advertising agency…” These guys are incredibly smart and have assembled a super talented team who are busy scooping up an impressive client list at lightning pace. The brief from Monte was to change some perceptions around gambling. To help make it a more fun and socially acceptable form of entertainment. Halo crafted a campaign around the concept of life as a gamble. People take small, fun risks in everyday life. So why not take some at Monte?

Funk Off

Andrew Brauteseth — Wed, 18 May 2011 11:50:33 +0000

Virgin Active recently asked me to shoot their new FUNK OFF campaign. It’s a new group exercise dance class that they launched which incorporates different styles of dance into an energy intensive workout. We wanted to create images that were really impactful but still had a kind of street-style, ‘improv’, attitude. There needed to be a realness and an edginess about them. By using really a hard light source, the black and white treatment and by casting a group pro dancers (who just had fun dancing to music they loved) we managed to create something really powerful.

Man Made Moon

Andrew Brauteseth — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:06:41 +0000

I recently shot the cover and marketing artworks for Lindiwe’s soon to be released single, Man Made Moon. The original idea of the shoot was inspired by movement and dance. I wanted to blend both hard and soft movements and choreograph the stills in a way that showed the song’s themes in a dramatic and unique way. The single “Man Made Moon” also has a lot of references to outer space, being out of touch and a sense of alienation on an emotional level. So the styling, hair and the strong pieces of clothing from the designers added to these layers of meaning. On the cover image, Lindi has a very powerful pose, but you also get this sense that she has landed from outer-space, some place totally off the radar.

I love how Lindi works with so many incredible South African designers and especially young design graduates. On this shoot we had items from Lara Klawikowski and Lameez Claasen and also from established SA jewelry designers Ida Elsje and Philippa Green. A quote from Lindi that went to press: “Andrew shot me for the international Frazer Parfum campaign and I wanted to work with him again because I love how he directs and choreographs each frame, he understands the small stories with in the whole story.” Here are some of the shots.

Bruce Good is an entrepreneur and property professional who recently returned to South Africa, after living in London and New York, with some great ideas for Cape Town. He’ll soon be launching Name Your Hood, a community project to create branded neighbourhoods in Cape Town. I took some portraits of him and the NYH team in the beautiful Photohire Studios in Cape Town.
