Between the noise, the smells, the colour and the people - so, so many people - India invades your senses in a relentless information overload. It’s a beautiful, joyous place, but also a place of extreme poverty and harshness. Amazing - yes, but exhausting. Especially when you’re trying to film a seven part documentary series spanning over five cities, including remote Himalayan towns and bustling metropolises, in just over ten days. But it is a beautiful place, one of the most colourful and lively destinations I have ever visited, and a graphic designer’s utopia. The place is literally covered with some of the most amazing weathered hand painted sign writing I have ever seen. It’s everywhere, and it’s all incredible. Definitely worth the journey for that alone. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/India-Photographic-Series/286519 I was recently sent on assignment for Lifelounge in India.

This campaign for adidas Megabounce profiled real people and cultures that share the sneaker's claim of being both high in performance and highly fashionable. The two cultures we rallied to represent this rare balance of athlectics and aesthetics were Krump and American Handball - showcasing real Melbourne krumpers and street handballers in each shoot, not simply models. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/adidas-Bounce-The-Block/218862 Bounce The Block.

The brief to communicate the collaboration between these two brands was entrusted to us, and these images are the result. Burnouts with your feet. Good times. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/adidas-x-Goodyear/209531 For the past few years, Adidas and Goodyear have been producing a range of kicks that incorporate the unique Goodyear tyre tread into the sneakers' soles.
