Jobugers were lucky enough to get a taste of the snowflake yesterday, with some embracing the rare occasion more than others. Before the snow had melted a small team of creatives – called The Gaschette Team – took to the street to capture the beauty.

Here’s what Jessica says about the album:

Photographer Steve Marais and I are on a mission to find the best talent in Joburg. We asked the top agencies in the city to send us their most promising new faces. The result is a series of beautiful portraits of the top young modeling talent Jo’burg has to offer. These are the models who, in our opinion, will make it big in 2012.

Laura McCullagh

Female / Cape Town/Photographer/Digital Designer

Laura Mc Cullagh

I tend to look on the gloomy side of life, despite the kind of things I photograph. It’s easy to forget that we’re surrounded by beauty as it often gets overshadowed by the darker stuff. Seeking and capturing that beauty is what I love most about photography. It’s about emotion and personal expression. I find macrophotography particularly fascinating. Looking at things a little closer reveals a whole other world. It’s like magic. My inspirations include nature, music, mythology and dreams.

Abe Viljoen aka ‘The Given’

Male/Cape Town/Illustrator

Abe Viljoen

I’ve dabbled in many techniques and styles, though no other series has been quite as successful as Iron Animals. I just had this sudden urge one night to create animals made from urban decay. Some sort of play on evolution, asking what happens when an animal’s natural habitat has all but vanished? Iron Animals is a set of grungy photo manipulations that blend matte painting with graffiti influences to a point that nothing of the original remains.

Jessica Lupton

Female /Johannesburg /Conceptual stylist

Jessica Lupton

I am inspired by everything around me, including current affairs, music, films and photography. Every shoot is a collaborative effort. Steve Marais and JP Hanekom are incredible photographers and conceptual innovators and we structure shoots around mutual input. I have also worked with amazing makeup artists and hairstylists that transform shoots into something really beautiful. I would define my creative style as classic: I want to create images that are timeless.
