bronte
i first shot with bronte when we were both fifteen, so it’s incredibly lovely to photograph her again just for the sake of photographing.
so many, many exciting shoots lined up for the next few months. tomorrow i am flying down to melbourne for the weekend to play with the kaplan sisters!
model: bronte c. makeup: megan v.

Anonymous asked: Just to start of with i want to say that your photographs are absolutely wonderful! I was just wondering though if on days when you go out with your friends do you bring your camera along or just simply use your phone as a source of camera?

tuula x senso
I threw ideas back and forth with the girls @ SENSO shoes for so long (months and months) and finally, I shot these in mid november of last year with the help of the lovely Jess playing model and stylist, along with my favourite makeup artist georgia.
intensely excited to shoot their AW12 campaign!

fireworks
it is nearly midnight, i’m wearing countless layers of clothing plus a coat over it all, and this is my first experience with exploding fire up close. sissy is on the fourth floor sleeping like the tired baby she is and i’m slightly worried all this noise is going to awake her and she’ll cry because i’m not next to her, but down here. i am holding tightly the nearest person...

iphoneography
i recently started a blog (life with lula) consisting of the many everyday photos i took on my phone, words and thoughts and questions and answers. my phone is always with me, so it acts like my camera when it’s not around and a memo for ideas when i know i won’t remember it later on. i thought it was necessary to separate the professional work from the photos taken on the sidelines...

white holiday
i am currently having my first ever experience with snow since i was six years old. it’s so magical; a little part of me is continually trying to convince the other greater part to calm down and to remind her that it isn’t all that terribly fascinating. but it is. i’m visiting my grandparents’ hometown, though i’ve been to so many cities here in asia already that...

life lessons & an adventure in september
see, here’s one of the problems with society. we’re sometimes too comfortable with what we have that we stop looking for more. it’s a human habit to stay safe instead of welcome the strange with open arms. we often look around and think, “well, this is all i need right?”, but then kick ourselves when we realise that it’s tragic how blind we’ve been. and...

natasha
firstly, sorry for the weeks silence. i think i had one of those moments where i wanted nothing but to stop for a second. i hate it, but it happens. then class started, so i had to finish hibernating in my bed all day. it’s kind of crazy; i haven’t really thought about how i will handle this last year of high school.
this is a little shoot i did on a lazy sunday with tash. it’s...

kayla in williamsburg
on my last day in new york, i left manhattan for brooklyn to shoot with kayla. we wondered through the main street of gates avenue with a bag filled with printed tees, sitting on stranger’s house stairs and then took shelter outside a child care centre when it began to rain (hence the wet patches and wet hair in the two portraits in front of the brick wall). we watched it pour for a while,...

circle pit
a few months ago, I shot the band circle pit for the september issue of fashion journal (out now in stores and boutiques across australia). we went up to a old share house building, where they also shot catherine mcneil in vogue australia’s september 2010 cover, in which one of the members jack use to live in.
the entrance to the house was small, almost insignificant, but upstairs there...

nyfw ss 2012
a few night earlier, I was with willie and karla and we were pretty high on energy. we went up to the roof of the soho house where they were fairy lights everywhere, a magnificent view of the city, a pool and to top it off, a girl came over to us and swore that she just saw a shooting star in the sky. I sat there and in a split second, something sunk in. believe it or not, that was the first...
