Wendell, very innovative with the clothesline. Knowing the penchant of the brand for exotic locations, was the clothesline in the French Riviera? :lol: It is all your usual high standard, I am sure the clients are very impressed, I am.

It is quality work, and great to see the kids looking like kids too.

Nice work...

Such a shame about a limited budget as I think some of your previous FB stuff is better (not technically better just better sets / props). It is good to see that FB have stuck with you for so long, a credit to you.

I'm jealous. I would love to shot for FB or some other boutique kids clothing brands :lol:

Great series Wendell,

The idea of the clothes line works really well.

Question on the selection of the deep blue sky: some of the images, the sky is considerably darker then some of the others. Is that just the way they came out or are they darker/lighter depending on the colour of the clothes?

I also love the slideshow with the kids having fun, looks like you really had them relaxed and just enjoying the day, just being kids :D

Well done,

André

thanks people

the sky is darker in some shots because the clothes were shot at different times of the day when the sun moves the polarising effect changes also shot it over 2 different sunny days i shot the fred bare campaign at the time when sydney was recovering from that horrible rainy period

i had everyone on standby for 2 weeks waiting for a sunny day most of the budget got lost there paying everyone to be on standby
also had to plan everythign to go smootjhly over 2 days with 2 location permits and kids and my teams availability as mentioned before im more of a production manager than a photographer

it's amazing it came together.
