The Big Picture

Stills and Behind the Scenes Shots for Party of Ministers

As you know if you follow this blog that I shot a video for the Summer 2012 collection in Nigeria last year. Here are a few behind the scenes shots and video stills. I hope you enjoy these pics as much as we did making the video.

Party of Ministers- A Video by Post Imperial x Jungle Tribe

While I was in Nigeria for Christmas, I had the chance to work with filmmaker Abba Makama of Jungle Tribe on a short film for Post Imperial’s summer collection.

Party of Ministers is a fashion short that documents a set of ministers with a knack for the ridiculous. Each minister’s pocket square is an extension of their personality.

I hope you all enjoy

Now Back to Our Regular Scheduled Program

Apologies for the lengthy hiatus, but it was necessary for the greater strategy. I’ve been quite focused on creating an active Tumblr. There is also a new project that will be revealed in a few weeks. So stick around, and stand in line; you’ll hear the trumpets when they blow. This tank is back in action and once again ready for the front lines. Back to shooting things.
