Hannah Collard

New photos taken for Chadwick’s Modelling Agency, for the Face of Perth Fashion Week 2012, Hannah Collard.

The last time I shot Hannah was in Broome 2011, when she first signed.

This shoot was shot by Jordan Shields, with Hair and Makeup by Rachael Sasche who is a star, and Creative Direction & Styling by Nicole Norelli. We chose iconic Perth and Freo backgrounds for our editorial. Works a treat. We will be in the studio next week for a bunch of pretty ladies portraits. Call 0448 735 338 for enquirers. Stay tuned to Community Records yo!

‘Allo!

It’s been a while between posts. I’ve moved to sunny Broome to work as a journo and a photographer for the regional paper: The Broome Advertiser.
I’ve been here a total of nine weeks so far and loving every moment of it!

Thus far I’ve taken photos of Autore Pearls, met Romance Was Born, photographed the gorgeous Kimberley girls, covered the Broome Cup, met the Governor General and touched a 4.5 metre croc!

The list doesn’t end there….

Broome is really a happening place and there is a lot of unrest at the moment due to the LNG gas plant proposed by Woodside and Rio Tinto to mine off the coast. Posing plenty of problems for the community: socially, economically and environmentally. If you have an interest in the future of Western Australia then I recommend reading up on it. Currently, as it stands, the future of the state depends on its mining and industry, with 400,000 people needed to sustain the industry in the next 20 years. What could this mean for you?

Tomorrow, Federal Minister for Environment Tony Burke will be flying to the top of the Cape, to One Arm Point, to announce the decision: will the Kimberley become nationally heritage listed as a place to preserve history, culture and land?

Looking forward to it!

Over and out for now,

This is my entry!

So kicking around some ideas, testing out some query theories….using a whole bunch of images I have sitting in my archives and needing a way to grasp this city I’ve made a lil’ Tumblr blog (which is super easy to do for all you kids at home) called Perth…Is the Mother of Invention  and it can be found here:  http://perthstreetlife.tumblr.com/

With some good feedback and some rad ideas muchos is possible. This is just something I’m doing for fun. But at the same time I hope it gives the young’uns something to think about, or a new perspective on a developing city. Just tryna help change the attitude which comes from knowing or even giving this city some reference to itself. It’s miniscule modern history. So while there are more photos of street art on there at this point in time keep an eye out for new stuffs: next on the list are some kickass night exposures and some articles giving context on facadism in Perth.

Cheerios!
