Bo & Luca Campaign

One of my film obsessions is the 1998 Alfonso Cuaron directed Great Expectations. I was so in love with Paradiso Perduto, the house of Miss Dinsmoor, in it's state of elegant disrepair but I never thought I'd see a real life version of it. 

The location of the most recent campaign I worked on for the gorgeous bridal label Bo & Luca was reminiscent of Paradiso Perduto and I loved everything about the epically beautiful Palomar building in Sydney. Take a look at some of the campaign images and outtakes below

Homebird for Factice Magazine

I've said it before and I'll probably say it in many more posts in the future but instagram is a strange and wondrous beast; Social media has a great way of uniting people who under other circumstances would never have the opportunity to meet or work together.

This glorious shoot for Factice magazine is the result of me stumbling across the gorgeous photography work of Christina Kapl and commenting on her posts, as it happened Christina was about to make a trip to Australia from her home in Munich and reached out to me to set up this shoot with the heavenly Lily Gribble of IMG Models. 

Sometimes shoots just work out amazingly well and we had one of the most fun times I've ever had shooting in and around the caravan park Christina was staying in, plus I got to meet and work with the sensational stylist Josie O'Hanlon who I've since worked with again and absolutely adore.

Modesto Blog x Gail Sorronda

The internet is awesome. 

Yeah, it can put a lot of additional stress on our shoulders but Facebook and Instagram have led me to some super cool people who I adore working with.

Enter Modesto blog. Almost a year ago now Ali reached out to me via Instagram to do a styled shoot for her blog and we've worked together and collaborated on many projects since. Ali contacted me with this idea that she'd been working on with photographer Rachael Baskerville  ( coincidentally, I also first met Rachael on a shoot for a magazine that posted on Insta looking for a makeup artist) and of course I was gonna jump at the chance to work with these rad ladies again.

So if you google the William Jolly Bridge which connects South Brisbane to Roma Street across the Brisbane river it'll give you an idea of how chock a block it gets during peak hour and due to some unforeseen circumstances ( the fact that none of us realised there was a Broncos game on that day) it took waaaaaayyy longer than the normal 15 minute drive for us to get from Ali's place to South Bris, and by way longer I mean it took us nearly 45 min. Usually a shoot will take a couple of hours and in that time you'll get in about 4-6 outfits but because of the unexpected delay we were losing that gorgeous Golden Hour light fast and cramed 4 outfits into a 20 min shoot. 

The light was great but I probs wouldn't recommend rushing a shoot like that ever... especially not during peak hour. Or on a game day.

Trigg Beach shoot with Tijana Lilic and Grady Wulff

One of my favourite parts of my job is that I can essentially work anywhere in the world and I get to work with some seriously amazing creatives and overall cool people.

Recently I was back in Western Australia for a friend's wedding and as I was travelling with my kit I thought I may as well make the most of it and get in touch with some photographers to do some test shoots. The rad Tijana Lilic was the first to get back to me and we set up a shoot with the gorge  Grady Wulff . I can't even tell you how awesome these two are and how much fun we had on this shoot but take a look at these images and see for yourself.
