Late last year I worked on a travel documentary where two NY locals came up with a way to make their daytime job visiting 12 different countries meeting new people. Genius. My friend Beci Orpin was their Melbourne host, and I think Tim and Thomas lucked out because Beci is not only extremely talented but [...]
I just found another Melbourne photographer getting editorials out there… Emily Abay. I like how photographers are uploading images almost immediately after the shoot. Above is an editorial that was published in the new Mecca Magazine not yet on the shelves. Hair/Make up: Michael Gilberto, Model: Bannie Williams @Viviens, Stylist: Ally Robertson

Today… the beautiful Michael Hutchence would have turned 50. Songs to make you cry. Lyrics so soulful every poor teenage boy had a lot to live up to in the romantic department and all this before I even get to his Original Sin style. Just a few famous girlfriends…Kym Wilson, Paula Yates, singers Kylie Minogue, Berlin lead [...]
Isaac Likes always introduces me… not personally but via his blog to up and coming Nwe Zealand New Faces. Stevie Kemp started filling rumour mills when the Herald printed the fake truth about her joining Cycle 15 of America’s Next Top Model. Stevie may have the upper hand as the curse of America’s Next Top Model continues.

My photographing friend told me the new Yen was out and before I could cross the street I notice editorials making the rounds thanks to the bible known as the fashion spot. I like a bold cover, and Yen is never one to disappoint, this time round with a blurred vision and white background force.

Candy stick pastels and royal blue stiletto ankle boots for Autumn. An unlikely ferris wheel colour combination, and a nice change from burnt orange, olive green and maroon. Maurie and Eve are not only bright staples in many Antipodean wardrobes but also making shopping online ripples, stocked on the Urban Outfitters and Bunnyhug sites. I like how [...]
Collaboration is the answer to most economic problems in the fashion world.. or so it seems in theory. Most girls love Topshop… I had no interest in the mass produced garments… unless of course I was stepping inside the designer does high street section. More affordable and styles in comfy cottons, generally featuring more prints [...]
I have already taken a sneak peak at the Jessie Hill lookbook, but up close the fabrics are even more beautiful. Be-jewelled short short hotpants are actually covered in leopard print gems, and the beautiful 60’s white shift is actually a leather laser cut t-bar dress. Jessie has the ability to mix wearable silhouettes with [...]
I first met Maya Villiger last Fashion Week in Paris when she politely asked to take my friend Sophie’s photo for the Australian Harpers Bazaar website. We briefly chatted about missing home, hers NZ and mine Australia. I was then reminded about her blog, turned out when she was featured on Jak and Jil referencing her favorite [...]
This Saturday I had the ultimate privilege to shoot Cassi Van Den Dungen, runner-up in the fifth cycle of Australia’s Next Top Model but my favorite of all the models…. with my photographer friend JoDuck. Funny how a show can create an image, cut together footage and hype up fights any normal person would have put in a house [...]
