Backstage at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week
Last week i photographed behind the scenes at a number of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week shows for Little Hero PR. It’s a pretty fun gig, shooting models and hanging out with photographer buddies. A lot of my brief was shooting sponsorship stuff but i snapped some frames for my own interest in between. I made [...]
Virgin Blue uniforms
Virgin Blue today launched their new staff uniforms with an Elle Macpherson fronted launch event. The PR campaign surrounding the new uniforms was accompanied by photos i took a few weeks ago in a top secret shoot with a several Virgin pilots and cabin crew.
Behind the Scenes of Australia’s Next Top Model
Back in June i had an assignment for ACP magazines, shooting pictures behind-the-scenes at the taping of an Australia’s Next Top Model shoot. I’ve never seen the show before, except for that kerfuffle over Sarah Murdoch announcing the wrong winner. No such problems on a non-live taping like i was tagging along with though. The [...]
Backstage at Fashion Week for Harper’s Bazaar
Australian Fashion Week seems like an eternity ago now, but here’s some photos that have just gone to print. They’re behind-the-scenes photos at fashion label Little Joe‘s runway show, run in a Lancôme sponsored double page spread in Harper’s Bazaar.
General Pants lookbook
On that same day i shot the three bands for General Pants, i also photographed model Sonya Kukainis for a winter knitwear and jackets lookbook.
Ksubi : RAFW 2010
Ksubi held their 10th anniversary Fashion Week show at the cavernous Royal Hall of Industries. Ksubi almost imploded in bankruptcy last year, and they jokingly mock themselves as has beens, but this big brashy show seemed to be sending a message that they’re here to stay.
Romance Was Born : RAFW 2010
Romance Was Born was, as has become the norm, the most memorable and spectacular of the shows i saw at Fashion Week. It was held in MacLaurin Hall in Sydney University which was decked out in the theme for the show – ‘Renaissance Dinosaur’. So much attention to detail and creativity gone wild.
Therese Rawsthorne : RAFW 2010
Here’s some photos from behind the scenes of Therese Rawsthorne‘s show at Australian Technology Park for Fashion Week.
Friedrich Gray : RAFW 2010
Photos from backstage at Friedrich Gray‘s Australian Fashion Week show. Friedrich Gray was the first ever fashion show i photographed. It was in 2007 at The Kirk, a church in Surry Hills and i was snapping for the now defunct Australian edition of Dazed and Confused. I’ve shot each of his fashion week shows since, [...]
Stolen Girlfriends Club : RAFW 2010
The Stolen Girlfriends Club show was in a big warehouse in Alexandria.
Seventh Wonderland : RAFW 2010
I’m a bit late to the game posting my photos from Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, but expect a glut to come.
Hair shoot
I did some pictures with hairdresser Kristina Moussa earlier this year. Something a bit different for me. But good fun. Here’s some un-touched-up outtakes too.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 series [...]
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, [...]
Fashion show model casting
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. You can see how the show turned out in some of these photos from Australian Fashion Week [...]
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, beautiful [...]
