Couture Fashion Design Competition Shoot

My super talented friends and I collaborated on this shoot
to get folio images for ourselves.

Grant Ashley Davy designed and crafted the dress,
and also styled the hair.
Lauren West did the makeup.
And I took the photographs.
Huge thanks to Genevieve Senekal for modelling!

I wish every piece of luck to Grant, who's entering
this garment in Cult Couture.

magical beautiful snow

Today the sky fell in Palmy,
(and most of NZ) but apparently it hasn't snowed in Palmerston North for around 35 years, so it's a pretty big deal! And it's ridiculously exciting.
And beautiful.
It makes the cold worth it.

Something different

I've just been trying some new photoshop techniques inspired by the work of Petrova Julian, who makes beautiful, soft images. Trying to expand and develop my style.

EEEEK

Today i found out i'm one of 20 people/students/entrants chosen to photograph behind the scenes
at New Zealand Fashion Week.

I am not ashamed to admit i squealed when i read the email.
In a class of 25 people.
Seriously out of this world excited. And nervous.

But mostly excited!

it's been a brilliant day.

AWARD WINNER

These images both won Bronze at NZIPP this year!
Pretty happy about that.
