Shot Hayley Kate Spring Summer 10/11 Campaign and Lookbook
some time ago with an amazing team in a private mansion.

Finally, the sun is shining in early spring.
And that indicates that it's time to prance around
in beautiful dresses and skirts.


About the collection:
Hayley Kate is an eclectic mix of femininity, funk and romance!!
It is new and fresh with a classic elegance added to it.
A Hayley Kate girl indulges into her deepest fantasies in getting dressed
– feel the moment, it is never forced, always effortless, easy, confident and light.

You can check out more about Hayley Kate here
and from the Adelaide Fashion Collective Page.


Enjoy the sun in spring, lovelies.

Old Skool

Photo by Matt Kong (NZ)
Post Processing by me

Denim Chambray Shirt - Miss Gladys Symm Choon
Black Denim Shorts - Bardot
Lace Socks - Jonathan Aston
Shoes - Fendi

Found this good old photo that Matt aka Auckland boy took of me
while he was in town last Autumn.
I had almost forgotten that I made him
to take an outfit shot for me
while we were running all around town.

Got my lovely pair of Fendi Shoes last summer
and I'm loving them to the bits.
The myth about designer shoes is true:
Desginer shoes fit well, and you won't have sore feet.

Now, I understand why people would spend so much on
Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin.

Have an amazeball week ahead.

She and Him

Photography: Nichol Brooklyn
Styling: Selena Battersby and Chanelle Leslie
Hair and make-up: Hanna Nason
Models: Chloe Sargeant (Pride Models) and Erin Habermann


Our shoot's theme and concept idea:
'The clothing is a mix of mine and Chanelle’s, and it’s really all sorts.
there’s limedrop, modcloth, marc jacobs, sportsgirl and heaps of vintage!

I was inspired by cocorosie, androgyny and simple love.
and of course the title comes from one of my favourite duos she & him!
i wanted two female models, with one portraying the man,
i wanted to show a simple romance,
nothing too sexual, just enough to catch your eye. '
(from Selena of dearselena.com)


I have been wanting to share this new addition to my portfolio for a while
but work in the studio has been pretty busy.
Another last minute shoot that we (The AFC crew) had nailed some time ago
while local newspaper, In Daily was interviewing about the AFC.
Check it out here.

I just got a job as a freelance photographer/contributor
at Attitude Magazine, a local fashion magazine in Adelaide
and will be shooting for them at Morrison Rundle Street opening
on this coming Wednesday,
plus some other exciting stuff that is coming up.

On a lighter note, I got a reply from my favourite DJ Tiesto today
and it defintiely made my day =)
Can't wait for his gig for the coming Stereosonic in December
And hopefully I can meet him in real person.

I'm currently applying for a job in the fashion industry
wish me luck <3

She Moves In Her Own Way

Photography Nichol Brooklyn (ie yours truly)
Model Danielle Traeger (Pride Models)


It all started with our love for Angela Lindvall,
BCBG MAXAZRIA, The Kooks
and of course the theme song
'She Moves in Her Own Way'

Took these happy snaps a while ago
while hanging at Dani's during our days off.
Love her room, her vinyl records and her outfits!!!


On a another note,
Flight Facilities are coming to Adelaide for another Def Starr & Friends Party
on this Thursday at Limbo Bar, Crippen Pl, Adelaide.
Heaps excited.
Will be snapping all the cool kids
and dancing with my camera in my hand all night.
Say hi if you see a little girl with a huge camera =)

Raw Part 1

model Jovana Bogatic (Pride Models)
photographer Nichol Brooklyn (ie yours truly)

I am currently experimenting with a new modelling portfolio style
and am totally in love with it.
I love this whole raw/natural kinda images
barely any make up or even hairstyling
it's just so pretty, so natural
so personal style of the models.

Took a spontaneous snap shot of Jovana
before she left town to become an international model in Hong Kong.

Best of luck, girlie =)

Just some old work that I was supposed to put up from some time ago.
Yet, thanks to deadline and work,
I've been abandoning my blog a little while.
Bel of Love More and I did a little collaboration
during the Fringe before she embarked on an amazing journey
in Sydney.

Ps: Thanks for all the lovely comments that you guys left on Love More.
It really makes my weekends!!!

Model Cassie S (Finesse)


Few weeks ago, I was scouted by Finesse Models through a client of mine
and here's my debut styling and photography work with them
for modelling portfolio.

There are more exciting news that I would love to share
but I guess I should keep it for now
Will let you all know the deeds soon.
Website needa be updated soon.

On another hand, my blog was mentioned in the latest Attitude Magazine (page 22)
though they mistaken me as my friend Coco from 'Not So Naked'
in the picture published (the one i took for Adelaide Fashion Collective)
Guess I've found my real life dopplegangger whom I actually personally know.

Happy Tuesday
