an autumn day like any

My girlfriend Dani told me about a fabric store near my house - I found this vintage Armani fabric and made this dress up last night. Perfect Autumn colour

The fabric store owner vows that Velvet will never come back into fashion in Australia... Im seeing alot of it in Europe at the moment... this is my take on new trend

I found this gorgeous little sewing desk waiting for me over the weekend... my Dad bought it for $10 from the church op shop across the road

It matches my old singer

My glass wardrobe doors act as perfect white board for my sketches

I have a love/hate relationship with pattern making

While in New York last year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art had an most incredible exhibition titled Model As Muse. I have never been so up close and personal to some of the greatest masterpieces by Coco Chanel, YSL, Gucci etc
This book has a special place in my studio, and muses me whenever I need one

Another of my Muses - The Venus De Milo by Botticelli. I purchased this print from the Uffizi Galleria in Florence way back in 2005. Its a treasure.

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture. Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time

High Key Portraits

In the studio, Sienna's character shone through effortlessly, bringing life to each frame with her genuine smiles and infectious energy. The high-key setup accentuated the play of light on her curls and highlighted the sparkle in her eyes, resulting in a collection of portraits that capture not just her appearance but the essence of who she is – vibrant, captivating, and utterly unique
