HSBC

Late last year we styled the attached campaign for HSBC shot by Sean Izzard and art directed by John Lam. We were in charge of all details from set build and decorating, sourcing mannequins, props and wardrobe. We also created a kit for 13 HSBC branches nationwide to assemble 39 mannequins and clothing as an in store extension of the print campaign.

The campaign has run as web, outdoor, in store and print including broadsheet overlays in national papers.

Tropical Paradise

Nate and I had the pleasure of creating this tropical paradise from scratch recently for photographer Gary Sheppard. We used a range of established palms, scrubs, hanging plants, tropical flowers and vines. Artificial pants and flowers were added to include species that were out of season and avoid wilting in the heat. I am thinking I might change career when I am around fifty and become a floral designer.

Good Weekend Resort

Last month Good Weekend magazine ran this spread for their summer special edition in the SMH and The Age. I art directed and styled the story, shot by Damain Bennett at Pretty Beach House, Killcare.

This tropical story featured a capsule holiday wardrobe comprised of soft fluid dress and quirky swimwear. Some highlights include a Mrs Press hand painted jumpsuit and a silk Paradise kimono by Carl Kapp. Delicate fabrics, luscious colours and unique prints feature throughout this dreamy effervescent shoot.

Olay - Age Beautifully

I worked on these images almost two years ago with Chris Mollison as an initiative shoot for Nic Buckinham from Saatchi & Saatchi. It was put on the back burner for a long time but was just published as double page spreads in The Australian Ballet Playbill (theatre program) for Sleeping Beauty at The Sydney Opera house. The campaign aims to celebrate women of all ages by blending beautiful objects to numerically recreate their age. We painstakingly shot this over 2 months, some items individually and others over a wire frame structure, wrapped with satin. Hundreds of images were carefully combined by Jason Riddell to create the final effect.

Where is Maps

Getting directions from these undesirable characters is the alternative to using a Sat Nav with Where is Maps functionality. Shot by Sean Izzard these beautifully treated panoramics can be spotted on billboards around the city.

Mission Australia

These are four executions from a beautiful campaign we styled this year for Mission Australia, shot by Simon Harsent and art directed by Dan Oliva. I worked with model maker Ed Horne and a team of craftspeople to produce six pairs of wings in one week. Mission Australia had previously established the wing metaphor but had only executed it in CGI. It was great to go back to basics and shoot this all through camera. The campaign depicted individuals whose lives had changed as a result of Mission Australia’s intervention, crafting these huge wings out of everyday materials found in their environment.

Ambi Pur

Toby Burrows and Jay Furby joined forces once again with this Eau de Toilette series. It was very hard to compose myself watching the talent grope each other with toilet implements.
