When
I was first approached about shooting a story for FOM I was given one word as my brief
‘timeless’ - which is a pretty open bag. When I found out Lisa from Paramount Models had been cast,
and that she was currently competing in the Australian Supermodel of the Year competition, I instantly
knew that I wanted to shoot her like a retro style supermodel, reminiscent of a young Claudia Schiffer.
I wanted to really convey the glamour, curves and sex appeal that a supermodel has, and Lisa made it
look effortless.
I was extremely excited to welcome on board Amber Olsen of Pretty Boy as stylist, Holly Bell as MUA
& Jayde Pleming on hair. We only had about a week to make it all happen and I have to say it came
together beautifully. I decided the Gold Coasts French Quarter at Emerald Lakes would be the perfect
location to set the scene of a day in the life of a beautiful woman on holiday in France.
With fading light we ran from scene to scene with bundles of designer clothes and killer heels flying
around in an almost animated manner. Lisa was perfection and everyone really nailed their respective
jobs. The hardest thing about this shoot was waiting for the issue to be released so we could all see our
finished work. Thank you FOM for having me, it was a pleasure.
