This collaboration was spear headed by Patricia Vincent who I follow on Instagram (and you should too!). She had reached out to me to see if I was interested in collaborating on a shoot for her Spring clothing line and Izabella Petrut’s jewelry line. The inspiration behind the shoot was subtle elegance, excellent craftsmanship, with an emphasis on well being. The culmination of our collaboration resulted in a creative assortment of cozy, minimalist, and effortless designs that are perfect for spring.
Jennifer, who grew up in Australia but now lives in Dubai, contacted me for some updated portraits of her wearing some designer clothes. I literally could not say "YES!" fast enough because 1.) it's been a dream of mine to do a session that involves fashion and 2.) Jenn is the most cheerful and hilarious person you'll ever meet (and I found that out via email, before I even met her in real life). She also runs the popular Instagram account Jkittyt and the fashion blog www.jkitty.me so she's straight up legit.
British PopUp Wien hosted a tea tasting and a fashion show and I just had to capture it on film! Not only were they showcasing one of my favourite teas, Higher Living (their entire line of teas are organic), but they were also having a fashion show featuring Red Apple vintage inspired dresses. You couldn't have stopped me from bringing my camera (a 35mm Contax 139) to capture some of these girls wearing these dresses if you had tried.
Between finding a place to call home and then moving into said place and then all the things that came along with it to do, I had neglected my camera for far longer than I had intended. So I posted in a Facebook group that I've gotten quite fond of and have been pretty active in, saying that I was looking to let my camera see the light of day and that I wondered if anyone would allow me to take their picture for 30 minutes. Kam Kibash was the first person to respond. Kam was from Kazakhstan and lived there till she met her now husband and moved to Vienna. She is incredibly talented.
