FRENCH ALPS, SEPTEMBER 2026
We wanted dramatic locations. We got them in the French Alps as Autumn set in, and as the altimeter ticked upwards.
Leaving Nice, we'd crammed seven old friends into our Mercedes Vito. Nick & Izzy from FRAHM, Beetle Rhind on photography., Angus Sung on film and models Stuart, Chris and Pravin.
This shoot involved early starts, a lot of cheese, too many espresso and quite a serious lamb shank habit.
All topped off with buggering up our entry into Geneva and crossing the Swiss border by mistake, which was officially Not Super Fun.
Unlike the rest of the shoot, Loved it.
Enjoy our results. Do ask if you'd like any tips.
