Athena Golf Girls Love Life Like.

Karen Woo 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of working with Golf Australia to capture lifestyle portraits of these wonderful “Athena Golf Tournament” girls who live and breathe golf. We toured around Melbourne city – Hosier Lane, Federation Square, Royal Arcade, Flinders Street Station, and this is what I captured… and I still can’t get over that spontaneous crazy backflip that Rhianna did at Hosier Lane. Scroll down to see it!

Porsche’s first EV: the Taycan Turbo S shot on the Nikon Z9

Buckle Up! Porsche’s first EV: the Taycan Turbo S.

The drive was sublime: smooth and serene, every imaginable way a true Porsche should be, but better because it’s fully electric. First of its kind to contain a system voltage of 800 volts (majority of EVs are 400 volts) which basically means, consistently high performance and reduction of charging time.

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, generating up to 560 kW / 761 PS* (horsepower) of overboost power in combination with Launch Control. It carries the same acceleration figures as the 911 GT2 RS and has a combined range of up to 405 km (fully charged).

When you step on the accelerator and turn on the electric sport sound mode, you’ll whip back to the sound of a beautiful “spaceship” sound. It’s subtle, like a chameleon going about its business without making a scene. This was amusing to see because barely anyone in the fashion crowd realised we were there.

Well, my friends, the smile on my face sums up my Soul, Electrifying experience, the perfect EV car for any Biz woman. 😍

Thank you to my pro race driving coach, Bob for the day and the team at Porsche Australia.

It’s already day three, and I’m noticing a common theme amongst the London Fashion goers. Plaid oversized blazers, Beige/Brown colour palettes, Balenciaga knife boots, Gucci GG Marmont belt bags, Loewe and JW Anderson handbags, and dresses over distressed denim trousers.

 

A Night To Remember with Sofitel in partnership with DIOR, NGV and Mercedes Benz Australia

It still hasn’t sunk in that I have just accomplished one of my all time favourite, fashion editorial work with four high end, luxury brands. A Night to Remember is a DIOR-inspired fashion editorial which celebrates the story of friendship between four girl friends through a series of themes: from getting fashionably ready; drinking cocktails by the Sofitel’s Atrium bar; to arriving in the new Mercedes Benz E250d coupe at the NGV.

This special edition was created for Sofitel Melbourne on Collins in partnership with Dior, NGV and Mercedes Benz Australia, and I cannot begin to fathom what an enormous, yet beautiful process it has been for me both personally and professionally. My mind was completely blown away to the 2% glimpse of what it felt like to work with, and to have my work put in front DIOR Paris, is beyond my wildest dreams. If you have seen DIOR & I, you will know what I mean. The angst, control and the tremendous value they place on their brand and product is formidable.

As excited as I am to attend the Dior GALA and exhibition, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with Sofitel, and to my incredible team of talents to produce the following series of images. I hope my story will inspire you to believe in yourself and keep creating. Love to you all xxx
