Getting up at 4:30 in the morning is no one’s cup of tea, but when it’s to take out a luxury yacht for the day attitudes quickly change. Such was the case when we had the exclusive use of Lumba-Lumba, Gaya Island Resort’s private, 64-foot motor yacht for the day.

 

We cast off as the sky was beginning to lighten and motored to nearby Sulug Island. The picturesque island was perfect except for pesky sand-fleas which seemed to love the foreign flavours flowing through our veins. Still, Gavin captured some stunning images of the equally stunning Jessica Strother.

 

The shoot was going superbly, when dark clouds appeared on the horizon and put an abrupt end to our island adventure. We soon learnt these were early monsoon rains, and the downpour didn’t stop for over two hours. When it did, the team jumped back into work, General P.M.C. (Paul Michael Charles) and Mr Flare (Richard Hughes), shooting Jessica Buchanan and Jessica Strother in quick succession. They then split, P.M.C. joining Ross Hillier a.k.a. Tropical Bro to shoot Jessica S, and Mr Flare hopping back on the yacht to film Xenia Deli while Gavin shot stills.

 

At one point, while shooting Xenia, Gavin needed a step to stand on. When none could be found Mr Flare selflessly offered his own back as a substitute - Richard did a great job.

 

The team did exceptionally well considering the constraints the rain put on them and we’re all hoping tomorrow will be even better!

WORLD SWIMSUIT BORNEO 2016 DIARY - DAY 8

After a week of challenging days which saw us battling rain, wind, sand fleas, and cloudy skies, today was perfect. The sun rose in the east, as it tends to do, and travelled its path across the sky without interference.


Gavin started bright and early with Jessica Strother, on the beach adjacent to the resort’s jetty. She looked incredible in the morning light and from the little that we saw of the raw images Gavin captured her essence beautifully.


From there we moved to the pool, where Gavin shot Xenia Deli from the water. Although the bright sunlight was great for Xenia, it made things challenging for Gavin. Thankfully photographic assistant Ian Engelbrecht, a.k.a. Captain Haddock, was at hand to fend off the harsh rays with a trusty Gaya Island Resort umbrella.


With Xenia’s magazine shots wrapped, General P.M.C., Mr Flare and Tropical Bro ran through some social media content with her at her villa and later shot her hero sequence in the resort’s reception area.


In between the two locations they also managed to get a few shots for our exclusive music video, this time with Jessica Buchanan.


Today was Gavin Bond’s last day of shooting, and both Jessica Strother and Jessica Buchanan’s last day. It’s been tremendous fun having them all here, and although we have new members are joining there will be a hole in the World Swimsuit team that will remain unfilled.

Although we didn’t know it at the time, yesterday’s perfect weather came at a price: an almost full day of rain today. It was to be Jacques Weyers first day of shooting with the World Swimsuit team, but as dawn broke over a sky of grey we put a pause on plans and waited for the clouds to pass. Only they didn’t pass, they grew heavier and darker, until they broke open with monsoon rains that carried on throughout the day.

 

We waited out the unfortunate weather in the restaurant, the library, and our rooms, and finally cancelled all plans just after lunch as the rain showed no signs of stopping. New plans to go visit the main island, Kota Kinabalu, were being discussed and just as we had it all sorted it out the weather turned on us again – the sun came out! Travel plans were thrown out the window and the crew quickly assembled to shoot Tanya Mityushina.

 

Even with only a few hours of good light left, Jacques had a quick start and made the best use of time and light.


Elsewhere on the island P.M.C. snuck off to film Xenia’s part for our music video – it’s heating up quickly folks!

 

Tomorrow we’ll be back at today’s location to get some more shots with Tanya.
