The Essentials of Lentils

7 years ago

***To see the final results and the full story, I recommend to have a look at my portfolio first.***

Luckily, besides a lot of documentation photos, there were also some mobil phone videos taken. And of course I also couldn’t resist to (sometimes) hit the record button instead of the shutter release by myself.

For everybody who want to reminisce or is interested in the music that was playing during the photo shooting, here is the 1.5hours set.

After the first posters for Lentils Sydney were finalized, I went to Melbourne to present the project there. Ken and his team from Lentils Thornbury were excited to hear about the posters and immediately wanted to have a “Melbourne version” to exhibit at their 2nd birthday.

They also were interested in my story and how it all started. Thanks to Giorgia Boitano for the detailed article!

During the photo shooting I was lucky to meet Kyle, who accidentally stumbled into the room. He had a bunch of fresh printed T-Shirts in the back of his car and asked me if we could take photos of them. No sooner said than done.

Have a look at Adam’s Apple Creation and especially the Wild Animals With Attitude T-Shirt Collection! I’m proud that I could support him on and his young business!

Here is the list of participants, supporters and magical faeries, who helped the project to become reality:
