A couple of weeks before this Storm posted a photo of him lying in this fountain but while it was empty, I asked him where this beautiful place existed and he promised to take me there some day. And it was so magical in real life as well!

Obviously when we got there the fountain had been refilled with water and I couldn't resist jumping in! I adore the shot of me lying in the water - it felt exactly how it looks.

This collaboration was so much fun! Patrick's sister Maggie Conlon had made this amazing wearable art piece and given it to him to use for a photography project. So Storm and I missioned over to Patrick's house and got to work.

It felt strange but I really enjoyed embodying this quirky creature with extraterrestrial vibes! It's my favourite kind of modelling, where you're wearing something completely different to normal and need to totally change your mannerisms to suit it, rather than just posing and looking conventionally beautiful.

The other day I was just chilling at home in Takaka and Gabrielle messages me asking if I want to come out to hers to do a photoshoot. First we jumped over some fences onto the neighbor's farmland and did a few levitation shots which were soo much fun! Then I climbed up on a massive tree that had fallen over in a recent storm, but was somehow still growing fresh leaves, I think half of it's roots were still in the ground. That was pretty amazing, I was at least three meters up in the air balancing on the tree trunk. I told Gabrielle that in any normal situation I'd say "hell no I'm not going up there!" but for the sake of art I'd do it without question! Then we went back to her house where she'd prepared a little studio backdrop where we played around with bubbles and mirrors.

Check out her page Gabrielle Wee Art Clique and follow her on Instagram for more of her amazing photography and artwork. This girl is seriously talented!
