Photographic production and creative direction for Rolling Stone x Bonds.
This project brought Bonds and Rolling Stone together to create a 2023 calendar to raise money for Support Act, a charity that delivers crisis relief services to musicians, managers, and crew across all genres of Aussie music.
The Brag Media, publishers of Rolling Stone Australia, engaged LSS to manage the creative photographic production for this project.
Long Story Short worked with the team from Rolling Stone to develop a retro-inspired concept, amplified by a mid-century style house, vintage props, warm lighting, and a playful mood.
The calendar features Australian musicians alongside their greatest sources of professional or personal support. Each talent is styled in Bonds apparel with the brand's most *supportive undies*, the Total Package briefs highlighted throughout.
Services: creative direction, photographic production, location scouting, and post-production management.
