I set out for this photo to look a lot different, but even though it's not as I planned, I'm happy with the result.
In black and white it looks much older and faded, but the colours inspired me(I know- not black and white!) so I've left it as is.
To answer some of your questions of late on the photography on the blog:
Who takes your photos?
I do! I have a degree in Fine Art from RMIT University, and begun my career as an artist, before switching to fashion. I have worked in fashion for the last 5 years, including running my own accessories label, and living and working overseas.
What camera do you use? Is it a digital SLR?
Currently I use a Canon Power Shot A470 7.1 mega pixel digital camera. I would love a digital SLR camera(Hello Canon if you are reading!) and it's on my agenda this year.
What equipment do you use?
I have two tripods that help me capture all of what you see. I don't have any lighting equipment which is why all my photos are taken in natural light. I do all my processing in Photoshop.
How can I get my photos like yours?
Well, if they are like mine, they wouldn't be yours now would they?!
The main piece of advice I give people is to research, read books, go out and buy art and illustration magazines and become educated on what you like and how to do it.
Buy a tripod as it will improve your photography ten fold, and if you are really serious, enrol in a course.
I hope this has given some insight into my photography!

A brilliant photo :)
Oh wow this photo is breathtaking and looks like an advert.Awesome job!
Loved the clutch.
such a gorgeous photograph!! i love the rose necklace
Utterly beautiful.
It's dreamy, like a still from a Sophie Coppola movie.
Apart from the beauty and quality of the shot what I like best is how creamy your complexion looks and the muted red stain of your lips (compared to a full on red lip)
Can you please tell us how you got that lip? I'd love to try it! xxx
Thanks LM!

I'm not surprised people are clamouring with questions about your photography! It's astounding you capture these photos with a remote timer, a digital point-and-shoot, and two tripods! It really proves that photo-taking is all in the eye.

What an amazing photo! Beautiful as always. Love S
Ooh, thanks for sharing, I've always been curious, as your photos (and you) are always so amazing!
Definitely, thanks for the wonderful insight! Although obviously your great photography is only a part of your magic, where would we be without your beautiful fashion and face??
absoluetly beautiful shot!
this photo is amazing!
This was lovely to read, very inspiring. I have a digital SLR that I am not very good at using - you have inspired me to learn more.
Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the insight, thought it was about time I explained my background....
