Proud Aunty

Recently whilst visiting my home state of Western Australia I was asked to photograph my cousin's  daughter. Holly is almost 6 foot and towers over her aunty(not hard). Lucky for me my friend Sal had a ready vintage wardrobe to match her art decor house .  Evan more amazing was Lynette Robinson was in Perth, my WA hair/fashion photoshoot buddy.  Lynette as usual doing great hair and styling all with babe in arms, all with a warning of a few hours before the shoot!  Along the way was lots of laughs. Well done Holly, I hope Scene Models goes well and Dad is happy with the photo's and Aunty Lisa has not made any uncompromising photo's(well maybe in Dad's eye's).

Inspiration Tess

One of my favourite movies "Tess" starring Nastassja Kinski was the inspiration for this shoot.   I  love the opening scene of the peasant girls dancing in the english fields.  Lucky me has a wonderful neighbour "Mel" who collects old wedding dresses,  back in her later teenage years she would wear them to work  and yes it was just a normal office job at an architect (eccentric - yes).  Tara Cassidy, a stunning ethereal model I love photographing was keen to model.  As often on those creative whims it all happens over a couple of days so luckily Holly was able to help with make up.  Photographed around the my local area of Frenchs Forest.  Almost causing a woman driving near Oxford Falls to drive off the road, she looked liked she had seen a ghost when she saw Tara in one of the old  vintage dresses. I figured we had the right look.
