Willow









Jenni Hare is a close friend who has been based in London for the last two years. We shot this story featuring the stunning Sam Doughty early this year. Jenni was seeing embracing the late summer southern hemisphere light and it was great to see a familiar subject matter through new eyes. I used a range of local and international labels from newcomers like Christopher Esber, and Romance Was Born, to Willow and Burberry to create this off beat fantasy world.

Urban Art






Macquarie Visions is part of the Vivid Festival. This nocturnal adventure highlights some of Sydney's inner city architectural heritage and takes the viewer on an educational tour of the city founders. Architecture and lights are two long standing favorites of ours.

ANZ







Jo and Nate shot this ANZ campaign last year with Toby Burrows with only a couple of days notice and 67 talent. Shot in Sydney CBD in and around the TVC shoot. They did a amazing job with such little lead time using predominately our own wardrobe hire stock to save on time and money.

Coco Republic








We just spent two days shooting at the stunning Coco Republic complex in Alexandria for Good Weekend. I love that Coco Republic have such a consistent style across their brands and that their stores are so well styled. Parquetry flooring, distressed leather and salvaged marine timber are complemented with large scale photographs and a huge range of authentic vintage accessories. Styling props include a life size timber boat and taxidermic peacocks.

RAFW 2010 Arnsdorf







Another early morning, this time at the MCA for the Arnsdorf collection entitled 'Opticks'. Nude, raw umber, dusty mauve and brush stroke prints - I was in heaven. The collection explored reflection, refraction, inflections and the colours of light. The garment construction evoked shards of light criss crossing across the body and the prints played with the colours thrown by this exercise. Sunlight poured across the floor on diagonal lines which the models had to walk through. One model per garment meant a pretty special finale.
