Kartell - Ron Arad

At the beginning of this year, I got a call from Kartell to shoot Ron Arad; an industrial designer, artist, and architect. Recently published on their website, the brief was to capture Ron's personality through a variety of poses to be used alongside several other famous designers portraits. I recalled the last time I photographed Ron and I don't think he gave me anymore more than 10 minutes ... so this was going to be a challenge. 

RON ARAD'S CURTAIN CALL

Great Assignment to be involved in.

It started with a fifteen minute window to get Ron Arad's Portrait at his studio . . . then onwards to Paul Cocksedge Studio to make Paul sit still for more than one minute, and then back to my studio for the calm atmosphere of shooting a still life of the "Record Speaker".

Details below of the event at The Roundhouse.

During a live performance to music, designer Paul Cocksedge will be heating and moulding old LPs to give them new life as vinyl speakers that amplify music from smartphones. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own 12" records to see it transformed into a unique object. Speakers will be available to buy at the event.

This event forms part of Bloomberg Summer at the Roundhouse, during which internally re-nowned artist, architect and designer Ron Arad will create a unique installation for the iconic London building - Curtain Wall.

Date: Saturday 27th August - 4pm
