Sebastian, the story continues.

Sebastian is a model I have worked with three different times and the first two times we were accepted into Photo Vogue, my fingers are crossed for a hat trick.

This is the best part of what I do, seeing people’s journeys, watching them grow in their careers and sharing in that journey. I am so honoured and so damn grateful to have these connections.

Gio, in studio, diptichs.

Had a fun Sunday shoot with Gio from Key Models and was feeling kinda diptich-ish so I made these.

Let me know what you think.

Shot at home with her very own wardrobe Lily and I made some magic and got it published in ROIDOX Mag. We featured her brand new kitty Milo who I pulled a few feet of string from as he was playing around our feet during the shoot.

Before a night out, editorial in GMARO Mag

Deb, Maxine, the studio, some natural light and a feature in GMARO Magazine December 2022 Issue #26. GMAR Magazine is published in France, you can follow them on Insta here.

Shot at Doris Land, all three of us collaborated and made this magic together. My favourite way to create is when everyone gets to contribute. I love the result.

This editorial was created with an amazing team.

Lost at Sea

Lauren, in the ocean on film and in digital too. Sometimes we have to get lost in order to be found again. To let lost we go to the sea and drift, let the water flow into our ears and onto our skin to block out the noise all around. We listen to the sea and we let it fill in the blanks.

And then we move forward, again and again.

Polaroid

When I was in college studying photography, my first year was all of the basics and we used black and white film. We would get our assignments on Monday and they were due on Friday, Wednesday’s we would have our critique. The school was in the middle of town and there was always something around to photograph as we completed those assignments. Then when we moved on to our studio module we would photograph each other.

The second year was digital using Polaroid images and film then we scanned the images into the computer and used photoshop to manipulate the images. We designed websites and used early forms of email and chat to communicate with each other.

Watching your discipline change and grow for the past two decades is kind of crazy, mind-blowing even.

I started using Flickr over two decades ago as a second backup for my images, I have over 300,000 images on there now and they are a living record of how my practice has changed and evolved over time.

I am so grateful to photography, it has given me so much, and it continues to. I have been so blessed, to find what you love and to make it your career is a true blessing. I wish this to everyone reading this.

Don’t let anyone tell you that your dreams won’t come true. They are yours to do with as you please and the world becomes an incredible place when you have the courage to stand by them no matter what.
