That '70s Shoot - Stylist Magazine

If you managed to grab a copy of Stylist magazine on your commute last week, you may have caught a glimpse of this beautiful sepia-soaked feature, shot at Focus reference 525 by Rebecca Pierce.

 

The shoot channels 70s Farrah Fawcett while showing off a range of affordable retro pieces from the likes of Marks & Spencer, Levis, Topshop and H&M.

 

The more eagle-eyed among you may also recognise this house from the artwork for the latest One Direction album "Four", which we blogged about a few months back here. From boisterous boy bands last year to 70s style sirens last month - we're excited to see what's next in store for this versatile space!

 

If you would like to book the above location for your next shoot then please contact James or Beth on 0203 77 33 720 or email us at enquiries@focus-locations.co.uk.

Shadow Play - Menswear Collections for Harrods Magazine

Harrods Magazine unleashed a brooding, Noir-inspired menswear feature in their February issue, shot by Roger Rich at our very own London location reference 130.

Roger has taken full advantage of the angular, masculine lines of the house and the interplay between light and shadow to great atmospheric effect, whilst model Dominik Bauer smoulders in a number of international menswear collections including Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen and Gucci. 

With piercing stares, enigmatic silhouettes and a set of cheekbones angled higher than the banister, this hyper-masculine feature waves a moody goodbye to A/W 14.
