Following his SHOWStudio-commissioned film featuring Eniko, Barnaby Roper has a new fashion extravaganza, dissecting some of the season’s most devastating looks (it says here) in Iris – starring supermodel Iris Strubegger. More importantly, its a brilliant job in cut and paste VFX, which combines Barnaby’s photography with his filmmaking in a very compelling way. “All [...]
Quite possibly the first interactive fashion editorial, Barnaby Roper’s latest collaboration with SHOWstudio.com allows the viewer to create their very own fashion video. Barnaby shot Eniko Mihalik in clothing by Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, and Jen Kao (styled by Keegan Singh) then worked with Staak on the interactive element. The project took months of preparation and [...]

Atmospherically shot (and double-exposed, it looks like) on the ol’ Lost Highway… [pay]The Subways Alright (Warner) Prod co: Flynn Director: Barnaby Roper Producer: Steph Scire DoP: Star Art director: Robert Romanus Editor: [...]
It’s taken a while, but finally here comes another comprehensive snapshot of what’s going down, or coming up, in music video-making right now. It’s a whole lot of things currently in production or just completed… Between the Eyes: Eran Creevy just shot Natty’s Cold Town for Tim Nash at Atlantic and also Sonny J’s Handsfree [...]
