The new August edition of Vogue China is out featuring a five page Tom Ford editorial, entitled ‘Mr. Ford’, in which BPS provided lighting, set build and assistants. The legendary US designer is interviewed alongside a shoot featuring five ‘it’ lades from China’s elite social scene. Tom took the shots and then appears in the images alongside the ladies, shooting with a remote cable release.
BPS Director Ben McMillan was lucky enough to work directly with Tom and his long-term assistant Simon Perry, handling lighting for the technically tricky semi-self portrait shoot. The BPS team also provided set build based on Tom’s specific directions and sourced props. Great fun!
Vogue China put out a special supplement for the June edition devoted to weddings. BPS supported Jason Capobianco when he shot a beautiful 10 page, ” The Perfect Day “, plus a great cover with Chinese supermodel Danny Lee who is getting married this summer.
Legendary photographer Peter Lindbergh came last week to Beijing to launch his expedition ’The Uknown’ at one of the top 798 art district galleries, UCCA. Vogue China Editor, Angelica Cheung, and Vogue Italia Editor Franco Sozzani joined Linbergh for a public debate on fashion photography at the event (April 2nd), curated by UCCA director Jerome Sans. Franco tweeted from the talk “I’m in Beijing with Peter Lindbergh talking about photography with young students…. Very interesting!”
Also in attendance was Vogue China International Fashion Director at Large, Nicoletta Santoro – who right at the start was invited by Peter Lindbergh to take a bow from the front row of the audience. The Italian stylist was in town to work with Lindbergh on a new Vogue China fashion shoot.
The debate at UCCA was a fascinating insight into the thoughts of key decision makers at the top of the fashion industry, now, and over the past two or three decades.
Lindbergh gave insights into his photography – explaining how digital technology has changed fashion shoots and his own shooting style! To see Peter Lindbergh talking about his exhibition The Uknown click here
