the dark obsession of W+K’s Alex Holder

Mills_and_boon_beach
These pictures, inspired by the covers of Mills and Boon romances, were made by W+K's Alex Holder for The W project, an exhibition for International Women's day.

She says:

Self-portraits of me and my boyfriend Ross.
Sometimes we sit for hours staring at a sea shell. Other times he'll hold me by the neck in front of the Pyramids.

But there's nothing we like more than NEARLY kissing each other near some horses. I always try to look hot in front of him so he doesn't leave me.

Nokia N8 blind photographer – extended version

This is the extended version of our ad documenting Gary Waite, a blind photographer who explores the world through the lens of his Nokia N8 digital camera. This longer film now lives online and gives a further insight into Gary, whom we introduced in the 30” TV.
 
Edited in-house by W+K's own Nico it documents what Gary got up to in Blackpool with his Nokia N8 smartphone, why he got involved in photography in the first place and how he goes about taking shots.

Featured music is "Deep Blue Day" by Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois & Roger Eno from the album Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks.
