Smith + Holland Lookbook
. . . . . . . . .
Very excited to share this new work with you today. I recently photographed a lookbook out in Montauk for a new brand called Smith + Holland. Their website launched yesterday and their first collection of sunglasses is online now.
You can see the entire lookbook that I photographed here.
Smith + Holland is an eco-conscious brand that makes goods for the beach and surf lifestyle. Their first products, a line of sunglasses, are innovative and constructed with low-impact materials. Even the cases are beautiful, made from natural vegetable-tanned leather (Makr collaborated on the cases). Read more about the brand and their philosophy.
This was a pleasure to shoot on a beautiful summer day in Montauk. I’ll share more photos and outtakes here in the coming week, and I’ll be adding a full set of photos to my portfolio very soon. Thanks to Chi-Pei & Jenn for the opportunity.
