Hey All! Still surviving through this rainy Sydney 'summer' and being a photographer who near solely works with available light its being quite the challenge to create summery looking editorial spreads. The answer? Adapt. Who says summer can't be hot, humid and dark?
I actually really love working with darkness, utilising minimal light really sets the mood.
I originally planned on shooting this in Centennial Park but discovered this gem of a setting while picking up my model Chelsea (Chic) down the coast. I've become pretty demanding of my subjects these days, flailing my arms around and ordering the girls to imitate. Hope I'm not being mean. 'GET IN THE DIRT! CLIMB UP THAT TREE! DON'T RUIN THE GARMENT!'
Chelsea is a trooper for sure, quite the woodland nymph or Maid Marian.
Thanks so much to Zimmerman and MCMPR for providing these stunning printed dresses.

I'm sure some of you may have spotted this shoot on Jess' Blog, Tuula - but if not - here's my latest blogger collaboration, styled by my bestie and the most talented stylist I know, Sue-Ann of Stylestalker (check her blog HERE). Jess made this shoot so easy, perfect model good looks and proportions, all the moves.
Here's hoping Jess actually returns from NYC so we can continue to produce plenty more collabs just like this.
SUMMER HOT!
