Last week a friend of mine asked if I could help round up some awesome people for a video shoot for Terry Lynn’s “Jamaican Girls”, directed by Nabil Elderkin, so I called in a handful of folks for the shoot on Monday. My friend Dianna Lunt who I worked with for a while at H.O.D. happened to be styling the shoot so it was awesome to be on set with her too. The production went down at the Charleston Bar on Bedford Ave in Williamsburg (not far from my house and office, so convenient!)
I’m a fan of Nabil’s work so I was psyched to help out. Nabil’s directed a couple videos for Kanye West (including his latest “Paranoid” featuring Rihanna), Seal, and K’naan. You can check some of them here: www.vimeo.com/nabilelderkin. He also photographs Kanye frequently and it turns out we’d met the week before at the men.style.com party hosted by ‘Ye through our mutual friend Willo.
Coincidentally, Red Stripe and The Fader are throwing a Terry Lynn party next week for her album release. You can listen and download her music here: www.thefader.com/redstripe/age_verification
Anyways, some friends came through to make the video hot :) Check out the pics.
