Shooting an editorial story for Esquire with male supermodel Vinnie Woolston was no easy feat. The entire shoot had to be completed in just four hours, requiring a total shutdown of the Wānaka, New Zealand airport to gain access to the runway. Grant Pearce, the fashion director for Esquire and Harper’s Bazaar, brought precision and vision to the styling, ensuring every frame delivered impact.

One of the most memorable moments was positioning the Rolls-Royce for the perfect sunrise shot—only to find out it wouldn’t start again. Turns out the vintage beauty was no match for a team of gay men with a vision.
