What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
I’ve been involved in a number of shoots and working on some exciting writing. I recently shot an editorial for an Australian magazine, and I’ll be back on set for a short film later this month.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
I’m learning to trust the flow of creation, to let ideas move through me without resistance and to allow the work to find its own shape.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Thankful for the chance to create and connect with other artists along the way.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
RAYE’s latest album has been on repeat, while "The Unretouched Woman” by Eve Arnolda gift from my friend Ken Neale, lingers in my mind.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Letting the quiet doubt fall away and allowing my work to simply breathe in the sun.
What is your favorite coffee shop and why do you like going there?
Tokyo Lamington in Newtown, my quiet place for reflection and people-watching.
If your life were a movie this month, which one would it be and who would write the soundtrack?
Probably Asteroid City, directed by Wes Anderson with a soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
Which studios, laboratories, or workshops have you collaborated with recently or would you like to collaborate with in the future?
I would love to collaborate with Rewind Photo Lab in the future, possibly even work towards a solo show.
