london part i // london part ii // campaign // paris // poland
the days of rain we had in london were few and far between. today was a little different. we woke up to a cloudy windowsill, the air was cold and sharp down my throat as we walked towards the bus stop. the streets were busier than ever today as we decided to explore kew gardens. we jumped on a double decker bus and rode far away, out into the suburbs. the houses in kew were big and beautiful. they were decorated with manicured gardens, all pretty and perfect.
for as long as i can remember i have always wanted to visit kew gardens. it has been my dream to see their giant greenhouse in real life and take some pictures of it. we don't have anything that looks like this in australia, and just as i imagined the whole day was dream-like and beautiful. it rained but we didn't care, the sun still came out on occasion to warm our frozen skin. here is our day in pictures.
busy baker street.
we thought the bus wouldn't fit in the tunnel.
arriving at kew gardens, it felt like a dream.
inside the greenhouse. it was hot like an australian summer inside and the glass of my lens fogged up.
the pretty plants inside the second greenhouse.
we kept tripping over while trying to take a picture.
dan distracted by a squirrel running around in the trees. it's the first time we've ever seen a real squirrel!
basking in the warm sunshine.
dan made a friend.
juice breaks as clouds started to roll over and cover every inch of the sky.
exploring the last greenhouse (while taking shelter away from the rain) that had 7 different environments. every room you walked into felt like you were walking into a different country in a different season of the year.
the rain finally stopped while we were inside the last greenhouse and i was finally able to get some pictures with the pink cherry blossoms.
swans are my favourite.
the sun came out again, the most beautiful way to end a perfect day.
i can't wait to visit you again kew gardens!

All photos edited with my Lovestruck Lightroom Preset!
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.

it was so hard picking photos from this shoot! it was my first shoot of this year and things could not have gone any better than they did. megan, lisa and i explored the hills on the beachside and shot in between mountains and crashing waves at a giant beach with bright white sand and overgrowing tree roots which was almost all ours. they were both so wonderful to take pictures with, none of us wanted to finish shooting! the photos between from when the sun was dripping honey to the black sky can be found

on a heatwave friday, we wandered through the gravel pathways around a caravan park which slept next to the river and under the busy bridge of speeding cars. we shot in the front yards of the caravans, amongst the empty beer cans, piled up bicycles and conversations of the locals. we were so tempted to jump in the muddy water while we were shooting, the heat was unbearable during the day. but instead we giggled insanely when we were shooting under the sun and took refuge in one of the empty cabin rooms the owner of the park, a man by the name of cowboy, so kindly let us use for the day.

i met a girl on the side of the road, who skipped school and liked to wander the suburbs in the rain. she set fire to her lungs and held onto the summertime blues tightly in her pocket like a secret.
these photos are of the lovely designs of jessica brennan. she is an amazingly talented artist and if you are interested in getting any of her pretty tops, you should have a look

before we left for out shoot, naomi and i spent five minutes in leah's backyard and took some simple portraits in the clothes naomi was already wearing, with warm sunlight peeking over the metal fence. i will be blogging our final photos from the day soon!

we started this day taking photos in fields of grass in the shade of big gum trees. as we were walking across the road in the heat, we stumbled across this abandoned house. at first we only saw the metal-skeleton clothing line lonelily standing and swaying in the breeze. as we went to knock on the front door to ask the owners if we could take a few photos in their yard, we found ripped fly screens on the windows and a vacated white house.
and so we spent the rest of the day resting on flower bushes with bees happily humming around our ankles, treading through the squelching grass (the front yard had been flooded and all our shoes were destroyed by the end of the day), sitting by the lavender flowers and getting tangled in tree branches.

i also created a little film from our adventures on the day, this is probably one of my favourites. drowned in sunlight and the exact way i like to spend my afternoons:
and here are the final photos from our two day shoot for age of intimacy. we shot in a lovely antique store that had things hanging from every possible spot in the ceiling. old 60s music softly played in the background as we shot amongst the rocking chairs and walked along the creaking floorboards.

today we spent the day exploring the corners and sidestreets of surry hills. my camera came along with us as we were invited to shoot inside quaint cafe's by a jolly coffee-maker, climbed barred windows and skated around the sydney streets decorated with dead rats on the sidewalk. we walked into a random corner store to get sour apple slurpees and took some photos while we were there beside the shelving with lollies as the manager of the store just stared at us, slightly amused.
towards the end of the day of running around and walking upside-down, we decided to finish up by having another small adventure, so we ventured to the rooftop of a tall building. it was windy and cold but the view was breathtaking. i've always had such a fascination with being so high up and seeing how little the world is in all it's vastness.
on day two, we drove back through the bumpy road (car sliding and girls screaming and chatting in between) to get to the abandoned castle, we shot in the wet fields of grass and muddy puddles until sundown.

last month, i shot age of intimacy's my deadly sins campaign for their newest collection. it was one of the craziest campaigns i've ever been a part of, split up into two days of mishaps and lovely moments where everything seems to somehow fall into place and fit together perfectly.
day one was a half day shoot. we planned to meet up in the beautiful wilderness of the blue moutains during the day, but pouring down rain and a broken car later, we get there just before dusk. the sun settled down as hair and makeup was finished and by the time we started shooting in this amazing abandoned castle, it was dark. we fired up the car's highbeams to shoot through the night. it was the middle of winter in sydney and poor coralie was freezing but was an absolute trooper and fought through the cold.
we had polaroid cameras to shoot behind the scenes with, and dozens of balloons to play around with. we filmed and shot while the rain came down, but we didn't stop until all the outfits had a lovely photo to go along with it. the drive back home was bumpy and muddy, but i got home and collapsed into bed. my few days beforehand of colour-starved eyes were finally full of lovely photos and moving-pictures to inspire me for day two of shooting.
none of this dream-like creativity would have been possible without our amazing team!
