My first shoot with photographer Hayley Bayliffe is now online. We shot four models over two days and that same week I had three other shoots so by that fifth day shooting I was completely exhausted! Hayley photographed all of the native New Zealand insects herself at the Auckland University, thanks to Kelly Boothe for making that possible.

I wanted the styling to reflect the textures of an insects shell but also included synthetic materials like metal and plastic to play on the contrast between nature and the way society is slowly contaminating everything with man-made waste. Most of the accessories are handmade by me.

Check out the shoot on Renegade House here.

Here is a fashion editorial recently posted on Renegade House. It was our first shoot at our new studio so it felt like we were truly settling into the place once we'd done it. Our team isn't too excited by office work and after a solid couple of weeks of it during the transition period between the old and new studio our spirits were low and we were so keen to get back into creating some cool work and doing what we love the most!!

The styling and mood of the shoot was inspired by girly 90s pop graphics and was really fun to put together.

After a very relaxing two weeks away in Melbourne, I'm back in Auckland and back to work.

This morning I was up bright and early to style a shoot for Renegade House starring the one to watch 62 Models new face Hannah M. She looked smoking hot and I can't wait to publish the shoot.

Above is a little screenshot preview taken on a phone cam... More coming soon!

Here is my latest editorial for Renegade House. I was really inspired by dance for this shoot so the whole creative direction was driven by that concept. It was my second time working with new face model Liza Tykhonova from August and wow her confidence has grown so much in the few months since I last worked with her, it was really cool to see her come out of her shell.

Check out the full editorial and more on Renegade House here.
