I photographed singer and songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou in South Africa for the six page main feature of Rolling Stone Magazine Germany for their May 2016 issue. I could not believe my eyes when Ashanti, the elephant, without prompting leaned her head against Alice and created a picture that I could not have orchestrated even if I had dreamt of!
The photography spread was well-received and aptly the article about her opening for Rodriguez (aka Sugarman) last world tour was titled "Wild Life". I got numerous enquiries at the time for photo prints of the feature - finally here they are, long overdue and waiting to be out in the world and in your home.
