Topshop In-house Mag shoots

Here's the layouts of the two shoots I did for Nicoles Topshop mag. The theme of the latest edition is New York, in celebration of the New York branch of Topshop opening. I based the look of the first shoot (Night Hawks) on the work of painter Edward Hopper, I wanted to get a cinematic 40s/50s type look, without resorting to the cliched black and white noir look of gangster/detective films. Hoppers paintings of night time in the city have a really distinct atmosphere and a certain palette of colour I wanted to bring to these images.

Many thanks to all the people who sent me New York images for the projections I did in the second shoot (The Calm and the Chaos), it was much appreciated. My Mums and Kambi's were the ones that got used in the final images.
