“A Moment in Time” is the brainchild of Boss Models and Artist Management along with Bell-Roberts Gallery. It is an exhibition of photographic works by some of South Africa’s most talented fashion photographers, stylists and hair and make-up artists, all of which are 1/1 and signed by the artist. The exhibition opened on the 22nd of October, and patrons are invited to bid for the works online up until the 30th of October 2009. All proceeds go to “Missing Children SA Charity.”
Kristi – Apples and Swarovskis
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 17th, 2009
I love this photograph. Rob presented me with a picture of a girl with red raccoon eyes and sparkles one day. The make-up was flawed in areas and we both agreed that we thought we could adapt it and evolve it into something better. Rob brought in Cally Palmer, who brought the *perfect* black sequined shirt – which added elegance and depth to the black background we needed to “calm” the red as well as a red apple – which for me applies an organic parallel to the otherwise very harsh and foreign red placement in the photograph.
Lyndall Jarvis – Black Tied
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 17th, 2009
This image is taken from a series of images shot for Pasella – where I was given exactly 20 minutes for hair and make-up (including liquid liner and false lashes.) I like this image because it’s clearly a portrait, yet one cannot make eye-contact with the model – which makes this image (compared to the others from this shoot) more powerful in my eyes. Lyndall had just received her title as FHM’s sexiest SA Woman for 2009 and I felt very privileged to have worked with her.

Lyndall Jarvis – Infinity Pool
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on August 10th, 2009
The first time I ever encountered this infinity pool was in 2003, when the Westin Grand was still called the Arabella Sheraton, after a long night of drinking at the Long Street Festival. A friend and I accompanied guests who were staying at the hotel back to their rooms for champagne, they snuck us into the pool area and I was completely gobsmacked. Breathtaking views of the city, an infinity pool as calm and reflective as a plane of glass – and to top things off… when one dips one’s ears under the water, one hears soothing music. Shewow.
