Michael Kors Wonderlust Fragrance Shoot

Gigi Hadid Michael Kors Wonderlust Fragrance

Last June Turks and Caicos Productions and North Six Productions welcomed back photographers Inez and Vinoodh to Providenciales to shoot the Michael Kors Wonderlust fragrance campaign. Michael Kors, the man himself arrived on set and the serious tone took an unexpected turn when he donned a retro swim cap (borrowed from the prop table) for a laugh. Lovely to have some lightheartedness from one of the biggest names in fashion!

It is an incredible advertising campaign, not just for the perfume, but for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Our sand isn’t quite this pink, but our waters are certainly this crystal clear and blue!

Jill Nicholls headed this team, and by chance one of her assistants, Todd Knopke, and I later discovered we have a mutual friend from the art scene in New York. It is a small world after all. Here are a few of my favorite props in action. Image below via Elle.

We shot at the beautiful Amanyara resort on the northwest point of Providenciales. This area is ideal for viewing sunset, as demonstrated by the below behind the scenes photo from the beachfront villa.

Last March I scouted for a Madame Figaro photo shoot with photographer David Roemer. David and I met way back in 2011 on a ZImmerman Swim shoot. David certainly knows how to capture sexy, sultry, and all the shimmer of the sand and sun. Check out the beautiful images from the May 2018 issue.

JCrew Summer 2018 Photo Shoot

Leave a reply

Last March Turks and Caicos Productions welcomed J.Crew back to our shores to shoot summer campaigns for Swim and Playa.

I had worked on J.Crew shoots before in 2010, 2011 and 2013 so it was great to see some familiar faces. It was also great to see the brands new direction, embracing more body diversity.

Models: Julia Van Os, Solange Van Doorn, Saffron Vadher

I love the images below from the Summer Blueprint story.

Models: Alecia Morais, Sanne Vloet, McKenna Hellam

Typically when I work art department for these fashion shoots I assist the prop stylist. This shoot was special in that I was able to do a little independent prop styling with a second BTS (Behind the Scenes) crew which focused on social media, email promotions such as the above and below by Bryan Derballa.

Producer: Maura Kane

Art Director and Womens Stylist: Gayle Spannaus

Lands End Photo Shoot

Last January, Turks and Caicos Productions welcomed Lands End to Turks and Caicos to shoot their Swim and Family Spring 2015 Campaign. This was our first time working with Minnow11 Productions and the fabulous Lindsay McGill. She’s a Hawaii based producer, (mama to TWO pro surfers, how cool is that!) so was great to work with someone who automatically gets what is is to produce on an island!

We were thrilled to cast some of our local kiddies in the campaign. Those of you in the know, check out Adrien in the super cute striped rashguard above and below. Little Lewis taking a stroll for Toddlers, too!

And one of our famous potcakes got in on the fun too! Big thanks to Potcake Place who are always on board, tireless stage moms so these furry friends get to model. These ads do help raise awareness about these special pups looking for forever homes. If you have a big heart for homeless dogs please consider making a donation.

See that scrumptious pail-on-her-head cutie-patootie below far right? That’s a dear friends darling, Selah!

It’s always fun to work on shoots that want boats. This sailboat beauty in the background had just been restored by a neighbor friend, great way to relaunch her!

Sometimes we need more from a boat than to just float around looking pretty. This shoot required a big enough boat to haul 30 cast and crew plus equipment quickly to an outer island where we had found the perfect location for the below spread. See a little more of the behind the scenes images at Lands End On Location. Come back and see us again Lands End!

Last November Turks and Caicos Productions teamed up with North6 Productions, this time for Baby GAP. Watch the little firsts video here

I had the opportunity to cast some of our beautiful local babies for this client. Evan, the precious pictured above, thanks to her mommy being a photographer and a laid back awesome mom at that, got to spend quite a lot of time with us on set. Nothing like a newborn to steal the show!

Aisla was called in last minute. Luckily she fit the clothes perfectly and was such a sound sleeper that she didn’t move a muscle when the stylist smeared the frosting on her face and hand for this first birthday snooze shot.

It’s hard work being a baby model! Luckily we had booked a few local nanny’s, my very own Nenette was nicknamed the baby whisperer after she lullabied eight babes back to back into dreamland.
