Behind the scenes

A little glimpse into what goes into creating our pictures | Annie is a top International Model (with IMG) visiting Australia [she's also in competition with her boyfriend to see who can visit all of the continents first]. We connected on Instagram over a year ago. Valentina is an Australian Makeup Artist of the year finalist 2017, and a good friend. The location is the home of my similarly good friend and fellow photographer, James Lanchester (those are his kids, below). We all love to travel, and we all love creating amazing pictures. If you're into gear, I'm a Nikon shooter. For this I used a Nikon D810, 85mm 1.4, 50mm 1.8, 2 x Profoto B2s, Photek Softlighter 60", MacBook Pro 15", CaptureOne, Lightroom & Photoshop (all used in my workflow at some point). Polaroid camera Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic. [BTS by James Lanchester]
