I realise it’s February already but Happy New Year! I thought i'd start the year with something a little different - aesthetically anyway. Following the opening last year, I shot the new Tiffany & Co store at Chadstone for the lovely people at Paper House Productions. Here’s a few images from the shoot in the classic high-key Tiffany style.

Marion Apartments by MOS Architects
Just down the lane off Gertrude from a favourite wine bar by the same name, the Marion Apartments by MOS Architects have been crafted by Lazcon Build from an old red brick warehouse. Shot back in June with styling by Jacquie Lazzarotto. I can imagine living here, although the proximity to Marion and Tamura Sake Bar suggests I’d be eating out a lot! And for the folk that know me well, yes, it’s my bike.
Another Clifton Hill House
Winter typically brings on a social media hibernation for me and this winter has been no different! A little bit of sun and the hint (subtle, I know) of warmer weather to come has coaxed me back to my journal. I’ll start by sharing a residential project shot on a freezing August day in Clifton Hill. The house, designed by architect Jeremy Coggin (Jeremy and You), interior design by Meredith Lee and built by House Hold Design & Build. Styled by Meredith Lee with clients own furniture.

Some highlights from Meredith Lee's St Kilda Road project, shot last month...
Von Haus Design in Kew
I had the pleasure of shooting some gorgeous bathrooms for Fiona Parry-Jones of Von Haus Design at her ongoing Kew project. I am always inspired by Fi's use of colour and pattern and this was no exception. Beautiful styling by Petrina Turner was the perfect finishing touch.
F3 Studio - Form, Function, Fuzzy Feeling
in Interiors
Before I move fully in to 2018, I thought I'd share one last project from the final weeks of 2017. This one a moody, warm and inviting home studio, and the new digs of Mr. James Woodfood of F3 Studio. Um, how about those soft grey curtains for a start?
Glen Iris House by Silvia Roldan
in Interiors
Happy New Year! I had a pretty busy second half of last year and was a little (ok, a lot) slack bringing you new work here on my journal. I thought I'd start the year sharing a few shoots from the final weeks of 2017. First up some images from a Glen Iris project by talented Interior Designer, Silvia Roldan. Some gorgeous art and custom pieces in this one - a pleasure to shoot. Wishing you all the best for 2018!
Glenn Murcutt's Australian Islamic Centre
On what was one of the coldest Melbourne days of the year, I took a tour of Pritzker Architecture Prize–winning architect Glenn Murcutt and Elevli Plus's Australian Islamic Centre in Newport, a contemporary Australian mosque. The formal design draws on modernist principals with beautiful glimpses into and through the building. The entrance is open and transparent allowing outsiders a view to the inside, a feature not typical of traditional mosques and designed as such to be inclusive and respectful of people of all faiths.
Inside is a vast space, bathed in symbolic colours of Islam by roof-mounted lanterns that illuminate the room and provide a dynamic pattern across the walls and floor. The tranquil, reflective water courtyard is another beautiful feature, not to mention the external concrete staircase.
There's still work to be done at the site but I highly recommend a tour, which is led and enriched by Ali Kaddour and his nephew, Ali Abou-Zeid whose dedication and enthusiasm is infectious!
I look forward to returning (this time with my tripod!) on its completion.
