Every portrait has a story.
A few of my faves;
• Russell Crowe- intimidating and lovely in equal measure. I waited all day outside a hotel room for that one moment he finally let me get the shot.
• Suzie DeMarchi for Rolling Stone- the pre‑shoot chats were just as good as the shoot itself.
• Lockdown Locals - The lockdown locals series shot during sydneys covid lockdown when I stood outside my house offering to take portraits of neighbours as they passed by. There’s judy with her cpmpost bucket, Michael and ELi who’s mother said she did have a single photo of htem looking at the camera and Hazel and Cider the cat. This is when I truly learned the power of giving someone a beautiful photo of themselves. The joy on people’s faces kept me coming back for more.
• Bodzilla, Abbie Chatfield and Sarah Hanson-Young - the first women to say yes to my “Loud Mouth Project,” trusting me completely. April (bodzilla) shot on film on a belly laugh kind of day. Abbie welcomed me into her bedroom for some natural portraitsand Sarah stood in the ocean fully clothed on a 40 degree day at sunset for her portrait.
• Kylie Kwong & Sally Scales - portraits for the Artists for the Voice campaign, created in a studio full of amazing artistic talent, hope and positivity.
• Alex Greenwich - a genuinely lovely human. His dad, Prince Victor Dadianov, emailed me after publication to say how impressed he was. That kind of feedback stays with you.
• And the final frame, a shot from Weld Stories’ “Story Heroes” project, a reminder of why I love what I do.
If you’re ever in a go-see with me you’ll hear all the stories.
