Last week I was asked by Cascades to shoot Black and White images for 8 Prints in their new Sea Point Hotel. The brief was to shoot something very sensual within the boutique Hotel’s 8 rooms. Each room will hang a Print that was actually shot in that room. I was also asked not to use ‘skinny teenagers’ as models, but more models that the hotel guests could relate too. We decided on using a very simple theme of a Hotel guest getting prepared for her day. And also shots of her preparing or returning from a dinner party. We then just focused on small intimate moments we could capture out of that routine.

I used a combination of flash and reflected natural light to get some very hard punchy contrasts on some images mixed with some very soft naturally lighted elements on others. Here are some selected images from the shoot. We are still deciding on the final 8 prints.
