KATIE MARX- Flower Forager Workshop

It was love at first sight. 

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be able to attend Katie Marx's Flower Forager Workshop held at the beautiful Dumbo Feather HQ in St Kilda. 
 
Looking at these photos makes me feel like I'm on a flower high- all over again!

My first arrangement! Looked easy when Katie and Phil were demonstrating the dos and don'ts to the group. It really isn't as easy as it looks.

My second floral arrangement- yellow and purple themed.

Beautiful products are a dream to work with. The ideas and shots I had in mind all turned out exactly as I had planned.

This was my client's favourite shot from the set of 10 I took for them. They will be using this photo as a banner in one of their customer's retail stores.

Had a lot of fun styling and shooting for Alperstein Designs! Thanks for having me!

MINA NO IE

Everybody's home, as the name of this warehouse space turned cafe translates to. And it feels, just that. A simply decorated place with minimal, clean design, Mina No Ie is a place you can go to relax and enjoy an all organic, home-style Japanese meal.  
 
I wish I had time to snap a few more photos of this space but I was too busy chatting away in good company. Here are two shots I took with my x100. 

Fresh Figs

Mum stopped by for a visit yesterday and brought over a bag full of fresh, ripe figs.  

I've never had fresh figs before. It's a strange fruit. It's sweet like a plum but has a peculiar aftertaste that needs getting use to. Well, for me anyway. I've always been a fussy eater. 

I made myself a simple sandwich with fresh fig, cream cheese and drizzled copious amount of Maya Sunny honey on it. Yum, yum, YUM!!

No one was around to by my hand model today. And Paddy was too busy sleeping to be of any assistance.

Afternoon light and shadows...

Window light and soft shadows- a match made in heaven. So damn beautiful, it's my current obsession and I can't get enough of it!

On a side note, I wish I could have packed this Verner Panton Rocker from our hotel room into our luggage. It is by far, the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. Perfect for those moments, after a long excruciating day at work, where you just want to sit back and relax with a good book in hand.
