Nea Zoi Jewellery x Wiluna Studios lookbook
I was part of a creative collaboration between Canberra based businesses Wiluna Flower Studio and Concept Space and Nea Zoi The Brand. The beautiful minimalist jewellery pieces from Nea Zoi were set in the airy Wiluna studio space, amongst touches of dried and fresh florals. Nea Zoi is a passion project by Amalia Stavreas (of Dimitries Jewellers) for ocean conservation.

White Gold- Beauty Editorial
For an awesome 6 months before Liam was born, we had an incredible makeup artist (and amazing musician) as a housemate. On the rare occasions where we were both free on the same weekend, we loved planning simple shoots at home. This was one of them.
It takes experience and skill to do the minimalist ‘no makeup makeup’ look, and great artistry to incorporate a pop of interest (e.g. gold foil on lids, bright yellow shadow, blue eyeliner) without it looking out of place. Vendulka is a wizard!

To achieve a similar look in your editing, check out my Lightroom presets ‘White Gold’. (for look #2 with the gold foil eye makeup) and ‘Glass’ for the first indoor set).
Concrete Jungle // Editorial
Lush foliage + concrete + minimalist styling + bold tangerine accents - you can’t go wrong. Throw in an incredible creative team and the rest is history.

Clean Denim- Lightroom / Photoshop Preset for Fashion and Lifestyle Photography
Clean Denim is a crisp, cool toned preset for Lightroom and Photoshop. It's pared back minimalist feel, desaturated blues, and clean tones make it perfect for photographing anything from clothing labels, street style and yes- it makes denim look so good!
There are 3 versions of this preset:
CLEAN DENIM : the 'regular' version
CLEAN DENIM - : reduced effect, more subtle edit. You'll notice less desaturation and less coolness in the tones, and less highlight/shadow fade.
CLEAN DENIM + : more dramatic effect. There will be increased contrast and clarity for more of a punchy look and more texture in clothing. There will be more colour shifts and desaturation.

Brave New World // Stell Magazine - Editorial shot in Futuro House
I loved working on this kickass shoot with our fantastic team, headed by our art director Helen. Helen approached me with an idea of shooting in the iconic Futuro House (a spaceship house designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, currently residing in a courtyard at UC). How could I say no to a shoot in a space ship??!

Wearable Art : Shooting for Australian Brand One Of Twelve
At the end of last year I was fortunately enough to be involved with the brand launch of Australian clothing company One Of Twelve. I was commissioned to create some product and editorial style photos with the founder and creative director of One Of Twelve- Anna Saboisky.
I absolutely love the aesthetic of the brand, the incredible artwork on the scarves, and the quality of the silk.
Film Luxe- A cool toned cinematic Lightroom and Photoshop ACR preset
The last few editorials I shot called for a more dramatic edit than my previous work, and one in particular ('Tonal', published in the September issue of Feroce Magazine) was all about greens and blues. This is where the inspiration for the colour palette of my new preset 'Film Luxe' came from- cool toned, striking greens and reds, clean whites, and with a touch of a cinematic feel. This preset is great for portraits in fashion / editorials, still life (think cool toned instagram feeds), and travel.
Film luxe is a complex, multifaceted preset- for high key images, it has a very clean 'Scandinavian' lifestyle type look, and for darker images it has a more filmic edgy feel.
There are three versions.
Film Luxe 1 - cleanest version, with the least amount of highlight and shadow fading.
Film Luxe 2 - increased highlight fade, more desaturated, has a 'dreamy' quality and a more obvious slate blue tinge to the shadows.
Film Luxe 3 - increased highlight and shadow fade, more contrast and crushed blacks, and more saturated greens than the others. This has more of an edgier, slightly polaroid film type feel.

HYPEBEAST HB2 inspired/ SAVAGE 2 Lightroom Preset- Street style, Portraits, Editorials
VSCO x HYPEBEAST Preset collection (HB1 and HB2) was created by the fashion and lifestyle collective HYPEBEAST. With it's clean highlights, blocky crushed shadows, and bluish cast in shadows, the collection has a very street style, editorial vibe- great for street photography, fashion blogging, urban landscapes, and editorial style portraiture. HB2 has a grittier, grainier look compared with HB1, and warmer skin tones (comparison photos between the two at the bottom of the post, and my HB1 blog post can be found here.)
The VSCO Cam filters are designed for mobile photography. In my HB2 preset, I am emulating the tone curves and colour shifts that gives HYPEBEAST HB2 it's look- at high resolution.
Both presets available at my StraightNoChaserPix Etsy store.
Fashfest 2016 Canberra - backstage and runway
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you might have seen my work as part of the Fashfest photography team recently. I was completely floored by the talent and calibre of Canberra based designers, hair stylists, makeup artists, and models- it was truly something to behold. Here are a few images from my gallery.
