TETRIK 3.0

In the realm of local small businesses and young upcoming labels, Tetrik stands out - boxy, structured silhouettes straight out of some darkwave nether-dimension, it's only a matter of time until the Melbourne label overruns the streets of Tokyo, Berlin and beyond.

I was thrilled to be asked back for my third time (!!!) to shoot with Tetrik, and if you ever have the good fortune to cross paths with one of their amazing core team Aidan, Kim or Bri, I promise you'll leave with a smile on your face.

With a background in creating fabric structures you may recognise from your last doof (check out Tetrik Structures), designer Aidan's winter offerings for Tetrik include warm, fleece lined fabrics, new patterns and prints with their signature purple accent, and a perfect, versatile array of layer-ready garments for our unpredictable midyear weather.

Combined with an emphasis on wearable, unisex designs, Tetrik's future-focused vibe is all the more appealing when you realise just how well each item has been crafted with top-quality fabrics and utterly precise construction.

WASTELAND WARRIOR

Like so many of the shoots I'm incredibly lucky to work on, this one was an adventure in complete and utter babe-town. Playing in the comfiest, most badass sets and big-bad-boots in this local wasteland is something I'd do again any day. Letting out my inner nu-cybergoth never felt so right, so a huge thanks to the dolls who invited me to be apart of this fun project!

And big love to Kim and Bri for letting me play in some Tetrik for the camera again -
Tetrik is definitely one of my fav local labels, and it totally hits the nail on the head when it comes to that cyber neogoth industrial oil slickin' dark pixie vibe (oh hell yeah) so support your locals and shop Tetrik today. 
For the more colourful bubblegum pixies, you can support your locals too - make sure to check out Goo Life and Creatura, also pictured above.

LIPT

We shot on a scorcher of a day, but working with this killer team of babes around the Abbotsford area was a great way to enjoy the sunshine. I loved playing around in LIPT's über-cute signature printed garments, some of the comfiest co-ords and dresses I've had the pleasure to play dressups with. After hearing Jodie's (one of the masterminds behind LIPT) story about the brand's fruition (the label's name has it's roots in Perth slang, who knew? Well, I didn't anyway), you have to give props to their nationwide hustle. LIPT's been seen on some of the most kickass young female DJs of the country, so naturally I was stoked to shoot in these colourful pieces. 

Thanks for having me, babes!

DUALITY

The concept for this shoot was born out of a desire to capture the very unique relationship I have with Paul - we are two individuals who are often either exactly the same, or polar opposites. At the risk of this sounding too much like a stars-in-my-eyes love letter, I wanted to visually explore the ways our personas both overlap and balance each other out. Wilson's trademark desaturated, minimalistic palette was something that complemented this idea immensely, in that - in combination with his brand of subtle yet effective styling - our true characters were able to take centre stage in these stunning images. Included in this photo set are some bonus images of myself in London, where Wilson and I had the good fortune to meet up and check out the Tate Modern's newest building on it's first day of being open - the Switch House. It is thanks to both Wilson's consistent stylistic choices as a photographer, as well as the intriguing similarity of Melbourne and London as cities, that it becomes near indistinguishable which photos are from which shoot.
