head·lock

noun /ˈhedˌläk/
headlocks, plural

A method of restraining someone by holding an arm firmly around their head, esp. as a hold in wrestling. also a great way of getting what you want without using words. not to be used on women unless we are are talking girl on girl action in which case that could be kinda hot.

FRANCOIS SAGAT BY ELVIS DI FAZIO

2011-03-08T03:45:00.000-08:00

Something special I shot mid way through last year....

Photography Elvis Di FAzio
Stylist Bex Sheers
Body Paint By Becca Gilmartin.

FRANCOIS SAGAT BY ELVIS DI FAZIO from elvisdifazio on Vimeo.

Screen grabs from the clip.

as you can see the shoot was all about capturing the raw essence of Sagat and putting a spin on the fact that while he is essentially close to naked (as is his profession), its through the use of his own body mass we were able to celebrate his physique without being overly suggestive. He inspired us so much with his perfectly sculpted body despite his tiny stature that we immediately thought of him as a cross between a pop, cartoonish figurine and as a buff American grid-iron player.

This led us to the idea of body painting him as an otherworldly comic character due to the fact his own shape and form parallels the protective grid iron gear that is generally worn under garments, negating the need for much else other than paint. The results speak for themselves.

after the shoot him i made a fun, tounge-in-cheek short film of the bodypainted Sagat 'undressing' in the shower, which i have edited to play back in reverse so it appears that he is 're-dressing' himself. The film was created on the basis of proclaiming an anti-porn statement to mirror Sagat's own anti-fashion sentiments, along with his apparent frustrations at the narrow-minded perception his profession attracts.

He is a really unique, deeply introspective and intellectual artist with a surprisingly gentle spirit. And we think he would be an ideal subject for a feature article/interview, as from what we can ascertain he sees himself as more of a performance artist than 'porn star' and simply uses this industry as a vehicle for self expression."

oh and while he was getting painted we had his ipod playing and that guy has some fucking good taste in music.

I was invited by the designer/friend Melenie Greensmith to shoot their muse Tiah Eckhardt in her awesome parisian style apartment, As you can see from the snake skin Cheongsam dress Mel has gone a bit oriental this season, an exciting evolution from her previous style. equally as exciting for me was to shoot in a style of photography away from my on camera flash signature, Instead opting for a more cinematic moody feel to give the images the richness they need for this luxury shoot.

And Tiah and I aren't the only ones collaborating with Melanie, Just out you can get a Dita Von tease Cardigan signed (if you lucky enough to be one of the first people to order), this 50's look knit comes encased in a collectible French Armoire illustrated box inspired by the glamorous world of Dita Von Teese.

JILF was a story I was commissioned to shoot for Attitude magazine u.k. I did this while I was in London, The shoot was unfortunately censored for print to be more PC but it really wasn't created to offend and I couldn't share it without it being seen in it's full flavour. The uncensored version was shown by the pop magazine

filep@the pop.com

here is the blurb to go with it.

Elvis Di Fazio joins forces with Elauan Lee to produce the story JILF. A purposely Naive, horny teenage view of the Jewish culture and the kitsch aesthetics that surround it. Gathering inspiration from the streets of Stanford hill (London) and its people, Elvis and Elauan create a fashion story to celebrate the spirit and nostalgia of the Jewish life, embracing the colorful humorous side. This is one fashion story that knows how to put the sin into synagogue.

I met this guy on the bus through a mate of mine Byron and instantly I knew he was Sicilian like my father, there was something nostalgic about him. For some reason all I could see was a story of a man from an Italian village circa 1964. he also reminded me of the boys that modeled for physique pictorial in the late 50's.

and a clip to capture the moment.

Back then I used to do the hair, make up and styling myself. I think you can tell that I had a thing for hollywood actors and family photos from the old days.

I'm ready to play around with this kind of thing again but this time, more murder, drama and tragedy.

I met this amazing boy on my travels to France, he offered to put a roof over my head during my last week there. I was lucky to meet his wonderful mother and adorable brother Alex and experience the village lifestyle.....so different to Paris the city.

I really had never experienced such sexual liberation and unconditional love from people who who had only just met me. Antoine and his family will always be close to my heart. I can't wait to go back and visit them again really soon.

Below are the brothers in a fun bath scene, we were all a bit messy by this stage..too many shots served by french mother... who was like the coolest mum in the whole world so we were just filming any idea that came to our heads. those kind of ideas are often the best in this case.

My first week in london I was asked to be in a short film as a favour for a mate of mine Ryan Styles. I ended up in a fabulous house owned by hat designer Piers Atkinson. I was lucky enough to see a table full of his creations before they hit the runway. I was hell impressed. I just had to shoot them immediately. any excuse. here's my shoot... exclusively for the pop magazine.

filep@thepop.com

here's my blurb for Piers Atkinson Feature.

"BOYS WILL BE TOYS" starring JETHRO CAVE and SOPHIE WILLING, inspired by PIERS ATKINSON's "SEX ON THE BRAIN" collection. Photographed by ELVIS DI FAZIO
Fashion Editor Stefanie Wilcox Introducing Piers Atkinson.

From the depths of his fabulous Dalston abode, Piers Atkinson has created a tantalizing new ‘hat’ collection.

Inspired by SEX, FETISH AND COMEDY! Atkinson presents his collection for SS10; 'SEX ON THE BRAIN!'

Provocative and humorous, Piers’ latest millinery range plays with pop, porn and fetishism.

Piers dismembers the conventions of the milliner's handcraft; apologetically ripping the hat's polite connotations to shreds and presenting us with delightfully lewd and lascivious pieces. Bondage-gear and pop-pieces are reborn as decadent head-wear. Balaclavas strewn with pearls over the sides of the mouth suggest a good creaming from a heavy load of cum. Gags have been re-designed to plug mouths with unexpected glittered out sized cherry (luscious when worn with glossy red lips!). These not-so-cheap but certainly cheerful hats are worn as headbands transformed with horny naked dollies riding PVC bananas. And this is just a taste of the cheeky and beautifully executed pieces Piers has created this season.

While perhaps not the appropriate choice for a family wedding, the statement value of these pieces is sure to get fashion thrill-seekers hot.

One look at SEX ON THE BRAIN! and Piers’ club-kid roots are obvious. While the scene continues to splinter, the spirit of creativity and glorious defiance lives on in his latest work.

For those unfamiliar with Piers, his accomplishments include an appearance at the V&A's exhibition ‘Hats: An Anthology by Steven Jones’ and commissions for top stylists Nicola Formichetti, Francesca Burns, Jacob K and Patti Wilson. His designs have graced the crowns of Tim Burton, Lily Allen and Cate Blanchett, and one of his creations appeared on fashionista mantelpieces around the globe as the image on Vogue's 2008 Christmas Card shot by Nick Knight.

Piers does not create with hefty profit margins in mind, although he successfully sells in fashion capitals London, New York, Milan and Tokyo. For Piers the pieces are about shock value, art, narrative and his signature tongue-in-cheek wit. Most of all, his designs tell us all to chill the fuck out - life is too short to take too seriously. Piers creates to get a rise out of you, and with this pop-porn range he certainly succeeds. SEX ON THE BRAIN! is fashion's wet dream.

Stylist José Satorre
Model José Satorre from Nevs models U.K

I fell in love with José after shooting him for Attitude magazine in London, with an uncanny resemblance to Freddy Mercury and yours truly how could you not.

I was hanging out with José one night and he was showing me all his bizarre outfits that he likes to wear out. he was telling me how his look at the time was a mix of fetish and creepy perverted man.... I was very impressed with his commitment to freak on.

Inspired by everything this guy was about I took it on myself to do an impromptu shoot of him at Stoke Newington Cemetery London on Halloween in the middle of the night.

PITCH BLACK! NO LIGHTS!

I seriously saw ghosts and people screwing in the bushes, oh and two people recognized me there and were adamant they had just caught me cruising. Was I the only one in the whole world that didn't know it was a beat? or am I just saying that so people don't think I'm a gross homo? either way it was an experience.

on the way home I was protecting José from people accusing him of being a NAZI (the Hitler moe might have had something to do with it) and they were calling him a funny name.

a "batty boy"

sounds a children's comic book hero.

A handful of photographers including myself were asked to shoot 2 pairs of shoes for the ZU shoes project. pretty clever idea cause the finished product was compiled into a visually eclectic look-book of strong images that were all shot like ad campaigns which also decked out the stores in poster and banner form.

I mean, last thing you want it to be upstaged by your photographer mates so you put in the extra yards to kick some ass. POW POW! ha

After the amazing performance at Gaffy's Albulm launch the other night, it inspired me to pull up some pictures I took of her a while back at her home in Bondi

some reasons why I love GAFFY

She's not afraid to wear high cut one piece thong bikinis from the early 90's... in public!

She swims against the stream of society (respect)

she's sexy (even with the clowny clothes she wears)

an amazing entertainer.

and beautifully RANDOM.

hey, I could have said it was inspired by the photography of the Pirelli calenders circa 1979 but i don't want to. ;-)

I sent "the American Wet Dream" story to Attitude magazine U.K to see if they wanted it but they were more keen on styling a shoot for me here in OZ with the same kind of feel this time with a Plushi fetish twist. I did a web search for what a Plushi was and found this interesting quote from YAHOO answers

Stuffed animal fetish?

I'm a teen bisexual chick and have a stuffed animal fetish. When I was little in bed I'd keep plush kittens and bears and bunnies and rub them over my chest, on my vagina, etc. I still do this occasionally and still have a fantasy of my plushies coming to life and taking advantage of me sexually. No, I'm not attracted to ACTUAL animals, just soft toy ones. Is this really, really ****** up? Am I the only one?

well any excuse to shoot some jeremy scott Gear.

I shot this story almost a year and a half ago While I was in New York.

I was going through comp cards at RED MODELS NYC and came across these two boys that looked like they could be brothers. a whole story developed in my head of these second generation italian brothers that were proud to be Americans!

My Bestie Stefie Wilcox traveled to New York from london to come play so we had fun dressing the boys in some funny outfits and shooting the story which later got picked up by a French magazine called PREF.

GURLZ JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

2009-12-28T17:50:00.000-08:00

THEY JUST WANNA, THEY JUST WANNA.... giggle giggle*

I shot this yonks and yonks ago, was inspired to shoot this after my trip to Brazil where there obsessed with female ass.

I couldn't help butt notice that 9 out of 10 post cards have pictures of chicks ass's on them.

generally on the beach, really tanned and oiled up, facing away from the camera....

in thong bikini bottoms.

I was asked to shoot / make an "ARTWORK" which would be my "ARTISTIC" interpretation of the shop Sportgirl. which would be later sold at a fund raiser.

I was teamed up with stylist Ms Fitz (a good friend of mine)

we went with the colours of sportsgirl label rather than the commercial essence of the brand. and hey... it's was "art" so i could do what ever the hell i wanted..... kinda. :-P

this is what we came up with..

I think the angle of the shot had the board at sportsgirl a little un-easy but hey it was kinda tame compared to the ideas that go on in my twisted skull. :-P

"o.k girls so i need you to face away from the camera and go on your tippy toes on the count of three.... 1......2.......3" SNAP!

THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN

2009-12-27T15:02:00.000-08:00

AN EXCLUSIVE FOR filepmotwary.thepop.com THE POP MAGAZINE

I shot this like ten months back and by far was the most fun I have had on a shoot... ever!

Inspired by All American 1970's Ladies man luke cook plays various characters in the story

"The Million Dollar Man"

I knew luke was an actor with a great sense of humour so i simply asked him to create characters for each of the outfits Bex put him in.

the only thing i regret on this shot is not filming him in action.

PARIS

2009-12-27T12:00:00.000-08:00

I was in Paris the city of Romance.... everywhere you go you feel like your in an old black and white movie, this is the place where magic happens and if your lucky enough to walk the streets alone, it does.

I just had to shoot something to capture that essence im talking about.

ERIK ROCKS AND HE LIKES TO ROLL-ER SKATE AROUND YOUR BLOCK

I ALMOST DIDN'T SHOOT HIM DUE TO HIS LIKENESS TO LEONARDO DE-CAPRIO (NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE HYPE) BUT LEO DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ON ERIK. I THINK BEX FELL IN LOVE.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

This was the first big shoot i did for GRAZIA mag here in oz. I did this yonks ago but it still stands as one of my favz!

Mark (art director / stylist) liked the way i shot sporty guys and he wanted me to translate that with high fashion and his styling. He cast Simone Kerr for this.

perfect considering her history with dancing more specifically pole dancing. as soon as i found that out the shoot for me was all about effortless flexibility.

She really reminds me of kelly lebrock from weird science mixed in with the girls from the Robert palmer film clip "addicted to love"

the whole day while i was shooting I had the scene from total recall in my head.

The part where Arnold Swartzenager has to choose his idea women from the computer and he chooses her hair colour "bru-nette" and then has to choose her build and hes like "at-let-ic!"

Simone.... you are very AT-LE-TIC!

she became the flavour for me with the GRAZIA shoots. who could complain. she's so amazing! she moves like a minx!

I shot this like a year and a half ago but i love it

My mate Thom kerr scouted this guy in New zealand, I got him sent over for a commissioned shoot for attitude u.k and did a fun gents story with him on the side.

he reminded me of YSL the man himself circa late seventies so i wanted to get the whole kinda studio 54 vibe on him. he was so much fun to shoot!

he migrated from france and had a really thick accent so i had to direct him in broken english which i'm totally talented at doing thanks to my Italian and Spanish upbringing.

would be great if he wasn't all the way over there in N.Z. I can think of at least a dozen different ways i love to shoot him.

I shot a story for a friend of mine Sasha on a roof top in london for one of her mates simon. we used a new talent from Elite model management..... for the life of me i can't remember her name right now which sux cause she was super sweet.

I had just broken up with someone days before i shot this so the shoot took on this melancholy feel and direction.

ELVIS SHOOTS AT VIVIEN WESTWOOD

2009-12-10T05:38:00.000-08:00

LONDON FASHION WEEK

was blown away by all the the amazing freaks and characters at the Vivien Westwood after party!

I was there to just play but I couldn't help myself but to take pictures, lucky enough I had my camera handy cause I had just shot a party down the road for some extra coin. These parties were pretty clicky and I noticed often the coolest ones of the lot would keep to themselves.

I was pretty lucky to have some cool mates in london that i seemed to bump into at the right place at the right time.

it could be pretty lonely there for a first time traveler with out them i reckon.

all and all fab place... seriously so inspiring!
