PROJECT: VICTORIA SECRET
 
 
VICTORIA SECRET - PRINT CAMPAIGN, BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO
Russell James, Photographer
Mark Robinson, Producer/Location Scout


Producing a Victoria Secret photo shoot with super model Gisele Bundchen in the British Virgin Islands involved a crew of more than three dozen - including two behind-the-scenes video crews. Filming on this remote island required careful planning of customs, immigration, inter-island transport and sourcing local solutions to production needs. When photographer Russell James and Victoria Secret creatives all agreed that one of the island's most precarious rocks jutting over the Caribbean water was the perfect setting for a shot with Gisele, it presented a safety challenge. Mark, utilizing his "MacGyver" skills, adapted rigging from the resort's sailing center to fabricate rappelling gear in order to place Ms. Bundchen safely on her mark unscathed.
