Romance Was Born open a store
Here’s some snaps from the opening night party for fashion label Romance Was Born’s first ever retail shop.
It’s a ‘concept store’ in Paddington called Pearl’s Dream and is open for a couple of months until January 31st.
It features many of the items they launched at their stunning show at Australian Fashion Week this year.
The store was [...]
Cloud Control out-takes
Back in August i had Cloud Control in the studio, and after doing some band photos i thought it would be fun to experiment a little at the end of the session.
I singled out lead singer Alister and asked the make up artist to draw a lightning bolt over his face, like David Bowie’s classic [...]
Hope and judgement at David Jones’s model casting
It was a nice easy shoot to start the week off as i popped down to Bondi Pavilion to photograph the model casting for David Jones Spring/Summer season launch in August.
Over 100 hopeful models strutted their stuff, vying for a catwalk spot alongside Miranda Kerr.
There’s a slideshow at Time Out or more snaps below.
Romance Was Born : RAFW 2009
The last of my fashion week posts is from the spectacular Romance Was Born show at The Wharf Restaurant on Sydney Harbour. As with previous shows from the designers it was extravagant, theatrical, kitsch and featured my old neighbour Pauly.
There was an aquatic theme going on, with shells, sea creatures, scales, coral, sea captains and [...]
ANT!PODiUM : RAFW 2009
Here’s some backstage shots of the ANT!PODiUM show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.
It was quite a ‘punk’ show with men in womenswear, rodent accessories and jewellery crafted from tampons.
Therese Rawsthorne : RAFW 2009
Next up from Fashion Week was Therese Rawsthorne who held her show on site at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
Her show featured the model who seemed to be the “it girl” of the week, Myf Shepherd.
Friedrich Gray : RAFW 2009
During Rosemount Australian Fashion Week i had the privilege of photographing a number of shows backstage for fashion PR firm Little Hero. They represent the cream of exciting young designers including Friedrich Gray, ANT!PODiUM, Therese Rawsthorne and Romance Was Born.
These photos are from the Friedrich Gray show, a sydney label designed by Ben Pollitt. The [...]
A Foray into Fashion Photography
I’ve never really done ‘fashion’ photos as such. But when my friend Rosey asked if i wanted to help out for her fashion project i thought i should give it a shot.
Rosey’s begun making clothes under the name Six-Gun Saga and was putting together a submission to be a contestant on a new [...]
Ruby Rose cover shoot
The new issue of Time Out Sydney is out today featuring a cover story i photographed with MTV host Ruby Rose.
We shot it a couple of weeks ago in a brief morning shoot at Blue Murder Studios.
Some of the references i was considering were a Terry Richardson-esque punchy cover like the GQ one, or a [...]
Fashion show model casting
Going back a few weeks, here’s some photos from a model casting Romance Was Born held for their Australian Fashion Week show.
It was in a rather spectacular converted church in Surry Hills, home to fashion PR company Little Hero and Live Fashion.
A slideshow with more over at Time Out Sydney.
Australian Fashion Week 2008
Between my regular work i managed to squeeze in some time to shoot a few pictures at Australian Fashion Week. I saw shows by Friedrich Gray, TV and Romance Was Born.
Apart from shooting Friedrich Gray last year, i’d never been to a fashion show before. Photo-wise it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, [...]
Catcall, HOOPS, S.Y.L.K and Ms Fitz
For some time i’ve been noticing a movement in Sydney of hip-hop and 90’s R&B influenced girl crews making a bit of a scene for themselves. DJ’s and MC’s who love dressing up in an over the top style, performing and throwing parties.
It’s a ‘sisters are doing it for themselves‘ type attitude. I imagine the [...]
Friedrich Gray fashion show
I’d never photographed a fashion show before but always wanted to. So i was stoked when Dazed and Confused asked me to cover this Friedrich Gray fashion show. It was back in April, around fashion week time.
The venue was a lovely old church on Cleveland St called The Kirk. After the fashion parade a band [...]
