I met my hubby Alan in Canberra, so Canberra bears a special place in my heart. Every so often, we get comments that Canberra is boring, but I tell you Canberra can be fun if you let it be. If you are sociable, active, artsy and fun – Canberra can be the place you want to pursue your hopes and dreams. Let me see… fashion designer, Anthony Capon won Project Runway in year 2009? Timomatic won Australia’s Got Talent 2011, Mark Webber, Red Bull Formula One, and Lauren Jackson, NBA basketballer all come from Canberra?
Anyway, as we were driving through one of Canberra’s hippest street, Lonsdale Street, we found this funky graffiti caravan. I hauled the car and directed Alan to take the camera out and take a few cool shots of me. I wanted to mix my bright winter outfit against a vibrant old caravan, and this was the perfect design set. All I needed was to work on a few poses. Yes, 99.95% I’m always behind the camera, but I think it’s just as important to be in front of the camera to see which hand movements, angles, poses, body language works for me and the person I’m photographing.
Sic here’s me. Hopefully looking chic than awkward. Images taken by Alan Woo.
My outfits: knit skirt from Marc Jacobs, drapey grey top from doo.ri (purchases from Paris99), sky high tops from Nike and yellow jumper from Manoush, ASOS.
Last image. Front, nor back. Which way am I facing?
