Bal Harbour

BRAD OGBONNA For his third time shooting for Bal Harbour Magazine, Brad Ogbonna chose Montauk as the backdrop to capture model Regitze Christensen. "The mood was tranquil and peaceful, yet powerful with lots of waves crashing against the cliffs and mist rising up from the ocean," says Ogbonna. "Our first shoot for Bal Harbour, two and a half years, ago was in the woods in Upstate New York; our second shoot was in South Florida and featured a tropical visage; this year I really wanted to focus on the ocean and the cliffs that watch over them. I still work with film because to me it slows down the process and everyone has to be patient for it to work. There's a trust that has to exist because it's not the type of work that you can show in real-time. I'm so glad to have worked with a subject and crew that believed in the process and were super willing to go out of their way to make things work." Contributors BEVERLY NGUYEN Beverly Nguyen is a Fashion Stylist and the founder of Beverly's NYC. She styled one of this issue's cover shoots with photographer Brad Ogbonna. The pair headed out to one of Montauk's dramatic beaches where model Regitze Christensen sparkled in Bottega Veneta, Chanel and more. "Regitze reminds me of a modern Slim Keith—she's a classic beauty who can carry these heavier fall silhouettes while making them look so effortless and cool. A Chanel gown in the meadow? Why not!" 58 BAL HARBOUR
