Every now and again, I step outside my usual world of photographing children and attend a group shoot. And honestly, I love it!
Group shoots are such a wonderful way to connect with other creatives, collaborate, experiment and bring beautiful visions to life through styling, lighting, props and, of course, photography.
The sets created by the fabulous Kathie from Marilyn 2 Morticia are nothing short of magnificent. These images were captured on her picturesque property in the Hunter Valley, and there was so much beauty and creativity to work with.
Some of these images have a softer, more romantic bo***ir feel. This is quite different from what I photograph most of the time, but that's exactly what makes it so refreshing. It gives me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, try something different and challenge myself creatively.
I think it's important as a photographer to keep experimenting, learning and allowing yourself to explore different styles. You never know where it might take you.
A huge thank you to Kathie for creating such incredible sets and to all the amazing creatives who came together to make the day so much fun!
