f 2.8
f 11
Also useful if you were wondering the difference between f2.8 and f11. f what? Shot on a trusty 50mm f1.2.
Ghurka Trousers
I'd never seen anything like them... Ghurka suit trousers - basically a beautifully crafted cross over strap system, originally useful for British officers losing weight - these ones made by Rubinacci.
(Styled by Marcus Malmborg, for Plaza Uomo Magazine, thanks to the Rubinacci store in Naples. )
Couldn't help but notice Ring Jacket's linen ghurka shorts coming this spring too...
So now you know. . .
One Light Portraits : Gabriel
EIDOS // Indigo dyed Japanese cotton pinstripe.
Gabriel // 50mm, f1.8, ISO100, 1/160
One Light Portraits : Christian Kimber
100% genuine, like the leather on his sneakers.
Christian Kimber // 50mm, ISO 100, f1.6, 1/200
SIDE NOTE // nice to see the belted EIDOS cardigan out and about on a few people this season. So luxē. No longer reserved for slow saturday mornings inside.
One Light Portraits : Sarrah Candee
Sarrah is one of the very few women I am aware of that can comfortably wear a suit and not appear to be in costume. Also - I love how a beaten up, well-loved Stòffa hat perfectly offsets a fine tailored suit.

One Light Portraits: Alex Restivo
Unplanned, we utilized a nice black painted wall in the back of the EIDOS showroom to punch out a few portraits and details after the show. The black comes up a rich indigo tone. Octobank firing as low as it would go, 50mm wide open (some of these hit 1.2)...
I'll share some over the next few days, starting with my friend Mr Alex Restivo.

SIDE NOTE // I've been shooting a lot of people wearing Stòffa recently and love it -- suede shoots so well, in color or black and white. Such a great texture to wear or to shoot. I also feel like suede has a bad wrap for being 'fancy'... but more and more it's becoming so much easier to dress down with brands like Eidos and Stoffa. Sure, you should care about it to a certain extent but you also need to wear it. And not care too much. It's tougher than you think.
Alex is wearing the Stòffa chocolate brown asymmetric jacket, "001" .
Eidos AW Lookbook 2016
In a mad 30min rush before the Eidos presentation yesterday, we managed to punch out the AW16 lookbook. Great to see familiar faces popping up each season. Full look book will be on www.eidosnapoli.com soon... until then, a few favorites...
Parisian Denim
This dude was killing it. Paris 2015. I utilized my sneakers to get this close shooting shallow on my 50mm. I find other lenses are a little heavy in a city like Paris where you walk and walk and walk. Discreet enough to snap quickly and quietly and keep walking too. Just remember to expose before you put the camera up to your eye.
Strong argument for a denim jacket. Soft and worn in. "When clothes become friends."
Red sunglass case (I assume?) in his pocket is kind of perfect too.
The Tailored Man
Shot around Naples, Italy, for Plaza Uomo magazine. Produced & styled by Marcus Malmborg.
Pinstripe against stair lines. It might be genius. It might have been a fluke.
