Emerald Night

On Wednesday I had the pleasure of photographing another Graduate Collection in North Sydney called 'Emerald Night' - This collection was inspiring, and the colours were amazing.

Looking forward to going through the rest of these images to complete the Editorial.

Western Sydney Graffiti

Today I started working on my 'Street Photography' assessment for my Documentary Photography elective at college. I chose to photograph graffiti because of its raw and gritty nature. I found out about a driving range that has been shut down for years out in Penrith, the grounds are accessible, windows smashed in and completely abandoned.

The atmosphere was extremely creepy. 100% dead silent, where you could hear every creak and crack perfectly. I was there during the day before lunchtime, and even then I felt extremely uneasy. 

I've decided that this location would be the ideal spot for a 'Grunge' Fashion shoot over the college break. Expect some edgy shots coming in the near future. I'll definitely be back there soon to photograph some models.

Old World

Today I had the pleasure of working with two stunning models and two amazing H/MUA's at Mamre House Homestead. A lovely historical building in Western Sydney that was constructed in the 1800s. The interior was very old world with a warm vintage feel; sporting polished wooden table settings and chairs, a vintage piano and cabinets of trinkets. This made an idea contrast for the selection of High Fashion related garments, selected from Student Designer collections from Raffles College of Design and Commerce.

This was definitely a great pleasure to capture, and I can't wait to shoot more designer pieces.

Thankyou to Sara Konarzewski and Genna Hayes for their exceptional modelling, and to Naomi Sprod my in house H/MUA and newly on board Belle Rita as my second H/MUA for the day - both your work was stunning, without you all on board I would have a stunning series to showcase :)
