Project: Refinery29 Street View

In December 2022, just a month after launching my photography business, I had the incredible opportunity to shoot the Wollongong edition of Refinery29 Australia’s iconic street style series, ‘Street View’. Two days of nerve-wracking work, for a relative beginner, made the world of difference in terms of me developing confidence in the job. Approaching cool-looking strangers and asking to take their photo is a head-first dive into pursuing photography as a career. I learned to work to a creative brief, approach participants and handle paperwork in a whirlwind two-day shoot in the Wollongong CBD. I was honoured to have been given the opportunity to work with a renowned youth-focused publication like Refinery29,and to represent the culture and environment of Wollongong through this series.
