Eva Slonim Editorial // Dumbo Feather Magazine

Fb-Button

Being a photographer allows me to help tell people’s fascinating stories. It’s an incredible honour, and continues to blow me away with each new opportunity.

Dumbo Feather is a magazine like no other. Free from ‘What’s Hot’ lists, pointless celebrity gossip and high fashion advertising, this is a magazine you hold on to for life. Each issue profiles a handful of inspiring people; from all walks of life, all ages, all nationalities. The main connection is their drive to make things better… for their family, their community, their country or the world. Each subject has a fascinating story to tell, and each story fills the reader with inspiration and warmth.

Recently I was asked to visit Eva Slonim – an 82 year old holocaust survivor and long-time educator within Australian Jewish communities – to capture some portraits around her home. The photographs were to accompany a brilliant profile piece by writer Oscar Schwartz.

The article and portraits can be seen in Issue 38 of Dumbo Feather, on shelves in good retailers this week. You can also subscribe online here. You won’t regret it.

Claire + the Antique Dress // Post Wedding Shoot

Fb-Button

A while ago I received a lovely email from Claire, describing her wonderful husband Jim and their beautiful wedding from the previous year, as well as her antique dress that everyone had fallen in love with. Handmade French lace predating WWI, the dress was purchased from a vintage dealer in San Francisco and altered to fit Claire perfectly.

Although there were many happy, candid and beautiful photos from their wedding, Claire told me she didn’t allocate enough time to a formal portrait session, and because of this she had never quite felt finished with the dress. She wanted a chance to pay tribute to her stunning find – and once she sent me a photo of it I could easily see why.

They took the opportunity to have a romantic weekend away, rented a cottage in the Dandenongs for the setting, opened a bottle of champagne, and invited me along one afternoon to help tell the dress’ story.

bianka Such a beautiful shoot. You really capture the essence of the couple and pay special attention to all the details. The lighting seems to reflect the love they have for each other. Warm and fuzzies all round!

Eric Ronald Brilliant use of light Lucy. Ace!
