UBank

Our first major ‘green’ project had Janai and Jo team up with photographer Simon Harsent and The Monkey’s agency to shoot UBank's latest home loans campaign. “Have you let your home loan go?” was the tag line used across a series of lifestyle vignettes depicting everyday home loaners covered in algae and moss. Left stagnant, this swamp of ground cover creeps over the floor, furniture and the unaware couple, until they are almost unrecognisable. Using specially imported live moss from Tasmania and copious amounts of glue sticks, Janai and Jo meticulously attached the greenery to any available surface to create this overgrown effect.

Qantas

Further into Spring our entire team was called for all hands on deck, travelling south of Sydney to the Macquarie Pass National Park with photographer Adam Taylor, to shoot Qantas’  ‘Spirit of Luxury’ ad campaign. Using NSW’s natural rainforest as a backdrop, JAS strategically placed exotic, tropical flora to imitate the Qantas Business Class Lounge and it’s own ‘Living Wall’. The renowned red lounges designed specially for Qantas by Marc Newson were transported from Alexandria to the site, and then hauled into the depths of the rainforest.

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.
