Fashion Photography: Inka Williams for Hello Molly

dan and i were recently on board to shoot the hello molly campaign, one of australia's biggest online stores. we spent the first half of the day indoors shooting their studio lookbook, and the rest of the day outdoors in the beautiful winter sunshine shooting their on location campaign. we got to work with a wonderful team, the girls at hello molly are all lovely and talented, my fav lidija on makeup and inka who was flown in all the way from bali for this shoot.

sahara mahala | mimi elashiry for alexandra redmond

alexandra redmond's latest collection sahara mahala is based on a tropical island surrounded by sand dunes, leafy palms, cool breezes and radiant suns. it was only fitting we photographed the campaign photos in a desert oasis, finishing the day off running through the waves crashing on the shoreline.

i had such a lovely afternoon meeting these two sisters and working with them for the first time. we photographed through lightening storms, got photo-bombed by late afternoon swimmers, and had rain drops clouding my lens. i think it was all worth it though, i can't wait to shoot with them again soon!

moon lit desert

everyone part of our creative team always talk about road tripping across the american desert, so we decided to take matters into our own hands and find a little piece of palm springs here in sydney to shoot in one afternoon instead. we drove towards the sunset to our location and photographed well into the night. in the background, dirt bikes growled over dirt mounds, headlights from their bikes lonelily wandering in the desolate landscape in the distance. we listened to music loudly and tripped over the rugged ground more times than we could count while we were shooting under the bright moon. poor lidija had what looked like wolf claw marks on her legs, dan stepped on an ant mound and we were all attacked by mosquitos as the night settled in. i think it was all well worth it though in the end run and i can't wait for our next shoot together which we've started planning! lots of exciting things to come (not to mention some behind the scenes from this day which will be blogged soon!).

margaux

i spent a sunny afternoon taking pictures of the gorgeous margaux.

legends never die

my eyes wrinkled around the edges as i looked across the field. when we played baseball together we didn't have to think or keep score, we just threw the ball and caught it with a big thud in the palm of our hands. i could feel beads of sweat dripping down my neck as we played on the dry grass under the scorching sun, we couldn't take it anymore.

we headed to the local swimming pool. the rusted fence rattled and trembled under our weight as we climbed over, metal crashing against metal and puffs of dirt flying up as our shoes hit the ground when we jumped from the top. we always came here to cool off after a game and i would always search for her. i was mesmerised by her smile, her carelessness, her summer hair. she told us legends never die.

salt on your skin

i am a flower leaning towards the hurricane that is you. 

this was a magical afternoon spent photographing and filming with wonderful friends. we had shot with ivy once before, and we all decided we had to shoot again before she left australia for her next adventure. and so one morning we left home without too much of a plan. we all met up and drove around, passing trees and mountains and empty roads, all leading to a beautiful, desolate beach. 

the wind was harsh and the air was filled with a thick mist of salt, making your eyes water and your skin dry. you could see it in the distance everywhere you looked; white puffs leaving the ocean and drifting towards the mountain. 

we stayed here and photographed for the rest of the afternoon. it was cold but while we photographed you could almost forget everything around you. the sun shone warm for a few seconds here and there, peeking out from behind the clouds before quickly nestling for day behind the mountains. this is when we shot probably some of my favourite photos ever. a splash of red in an ocean of never-ending blue.

Moody Canon Portrait Photography | rivers

I spent the second day of the year photographing with friends in a big natural lagoon, my camera almost kissing the edge of the water while my shutter clicked. We pulled soft white and flowing dresses from our own wardrobe to style it all and stopped to talk by the water in between photos. It was such a fun day and I look forward to every time I get to catch up with these amazing and talented girls! We spent our last photoshoot together taking low light portraits in the forest.

golden splendour

model: joshua maxwell

stylist: harmony hearsey

film: dan @ i make films

in the late afternoon a fire burnt furiously in the far distance. the air was hot and filled with smoke, but everything was covered in a beautiful red glaze by the time we arrived to the city. joshua had come down from melbourne with felicity downie to spend a few days in sydney, and we all spent the afternoon with harmony & dan shooting in the alleyways and side-streets of the empty suburbs. we talked and wandered in between every photo we took, and when it was too dark to take photos, we all went out for thai and ended up talking for hours more. joshua is an amazing photographer

himself

, and it was so lovely to finally be able to meet felicity in person after first meeting her online years ago on deviantart!

these are the photos from one of the best days shooting i've had in a long while, and of course i'm so happy dan came along to put together this amazing short film too:

the sun in my bones

 i went to the park and took some self portraits the other day in the warm sun. my hair is longer now than it has ever been before and i think it's finally time to cut it. 

the jumper and black top im wearing were a present from wildfox couture and the leotard from black milk

also, the first three photos in this set have been edited with my new preset lovestruck & the last photo in this set edited with wild bird.

summer | Canon 5D mk2 portrait photography

For this photoshoot we took some natural light portraits at an abandoned building and the surrounding gardens. I was using my Canon 5D mk2 and the Canon 35mm F1.4 mk1 lens. I edited all these photos with my Disposable Film Lightroom Preset Pack and my Lovestruck Lightroom Preset for those fun vintage tones.
