Another day, another photo shoot!

On Wednesday we went to meet Dino von Chapman, a freelance writer and Lloyd Edy, a freelance photographer. The two of them have recently started doing some work for Hype magazine (check out the feature on our boy Jaak in the April/ May edition - that’s their work).

They were commissioned by Hype to do a feature on Rattex for their June/ July edition. After a great interview with Dino in their loft studio in Salt River, Lloyd took us to the railway tracks to shoot Rattex. The photos looked great on the camera’s small screen. We’re really looking forward to seeing them in the next Hype.

In case you’re wondering, Rattex was wearing a limited edition Mustafa Maluka t-shirt by FOC.

After a busy week of recording with Ben Sharpa, we just about had time to shoot the cover for his forthcoming EP which will be released in Europe to promote his tour in June.

The concept of the EP cover is that Ben is under surveillance by secretive forces for his anti-establishment views. We created a fictitious journey for him that started in the centre of Cape Town and ended up at the airport, shooting him covertly from various hiding places.

As always, Anne-Sophie directed the shoot and took the photos. She got some great shots so expect another amazing cover.

Here’s some shots from behind the scenes…
