Whisper // Beauty Editorial
Winter is the time of year for me to recharge my creative batteries, after months of non-stop deadlines over Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
I spent a fun morning playing with Aida (Alchemy Foliage')‘s delicious velvety orchids, fluffy pampas, and a huge array of dried botanicals that I can’t remember the names of and sadly did not have time to capture on camera. You wouldn’t think it- looking at the serenity on Zoe’s face- but it was a 1 hr of crazy frenzied shooting. 3 looks at triple speed. Zoe, Amy, and Kathryn are such rockstars that triple speed was fun!

Balzanelli Family Portraits // National Gallery of Australia
When Sandra (whose wedding at the Fitters Workshop I had photographed last year) booked me to do a natural light family shoot for her Mum's birthday present, I was absolutely delighted. The Balzanelli's were such a fun bunch.
We decided to do our shoot at the National Gallery of Australia Sculpture Garden - it's such a beautiful spot with lots of natural beauty as well as interesting spaces. One of my favourite outdoor portrait locations in Canberra, I never get sick of it.
These are a few images from our fun afternoon.

Emma & Davey : Minimalist Urban Portrait Session
I get to hang out with a lot of cool couples, but these guys are on a whole other level. They're also super nice, and let me be a third wheel with them one afternoon a couple of weeks back.
Emma and I share a love of concrete and glass- so we wandered around the Portrait Gallery admiring it's walls (an example of Brutalist architecture Emma tells me) and finding nice light.
I also used a confetti cannon for the first time! If you ever feel like adulting is getting you down, buy yourself a confetti cannon. If you are worried about cleanup, Geelong fireworks stocks 'Envirofetti' as well, which dissolves upon contact with water.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Bonbon - An Editorial
I'm obsessed with pink walls, and every time I travel I gravitate towards them as predictably as a dog gravitates towards the nearest tree. So I've been eye-ing this dilapidated vacant apartment block with pink walls near my place in Braddon and dreaming of portraits I could shoot with it.
I couldn't think of anyone who would suit this shoot more than the talented Gem Chua (represented by Devojka Models). She fit the urban lolita vibe to a tee, and rocked a flower in her mouth like no one else could (except maybe Lana Del Rey), and we shot this almost completely impromptu in 45mins.

Only Forward / Open Fields - An Editorial for Big Ink Magazine
We shot this editorial for Big Ink magazine at the end of the summer. I keep coming back to the Virgin Suicides aesthetic in my inspiration boards, and I wanted to take advantage of Canberra's endless open fields before the cold weather started to set in.
