Everything’s Gonna Be Okay
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Editorial on May 12, 2010
The 90′s were an awkward decade. They brought us crochet shirts, goa-inspired prints, grunge, flannel (thanks Kurt) and saw the “new age” movement resurrected from the grave that the shoulder-pad clad glam’s of the 80′s pushed it into. However the 90′s was not an entirely “lost” decade trying to find itself in whale sounds. . . on the contrary the 90′s gave its youth the freedom to truly express themselves as fashion turned individualistic (think custom jeans, and T-shirts with a message) and/or counter cultural as tattoos and piercings started to become accepted and popular, along with retro styles as people looked back to the 60′s and 70′s for fashion inspiration. The 90′s also saw an increasing acceptance of homo-sexuality and tolerance. In 1990 the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of diseases and in 1994 South Africa saw an end to Apartheid.

Sean Laurenz – Fashion
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Fashion, Test Shoots on May 11, 2010
Shot on the roof of the Grand Daddy Hotel, this is one of my favorite of the fashion series Nena and Sean and I created one unsuspecting Spring Sunday. I love seeing Cape Town city behind her, that tiny patch of blue in the corner, and how everything except for Nena is slightly out of focus.
Make-Up: MAC: Skin: Studio Fix Fluid, studio finish concealer, Prep ‘n Prime transparent finishing powder. Cheeks: “Buff” - matte blush for under the cheekbone and “Pretty Indulgent” - silvery shimmer for a cheek highlight. Eyes: “Blackground” Paint Pot, topped with “Cinderfella” Mineralize eye-shadow (limited edition – similar to “black tied” eye-shadow) and “carbon” (matt) eye-shadow. Lashes were coated with “Zoomblack” mascara and then MAC’s #47 lash for an extreme effect. Finally I lined her water-line with “Fascinating” eye-kohl. Lips were coated with “Explicit” lipgass.
Hair: Hair was sprayed with water, combed back and… [ Read more ]

Sand on Skin
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Fashion, Swimwear on November 7, 2009
This shoot is one I smile upon the memory of. The photographic industry is an industry laden with weight upon one’s reputation, yet so often I find the reputations, especially the big ones misleading. Sean Laurenz is as talented as he is genuine, taking photographs that are masterpieces from their first sight as large postage stamps on the back of his canon, to their reception after his careful and genius processing – which unlike some he does entirely himself. Nena Hugo surpassed all of my expectations, fluidly migrating from fashion icon to bohemian beach babe with endless energy and exceptional attention to detail, as well as standing as a phenomenal stylist in her own right. Nick held palm leaves, reflectors and smiles on our faces with equal aplomb. This whole experience was a treat for me
Make-Up and Hair: I kept her skin as translucent as possible with… [ Read more ]
