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.

Since it is such a wonderfully awkward story, I shall share it with you... This is how Storm and I met; I was op-shopping alone, just casually browsing The Great Mistake for interesting new items. I happened to turn around just as two beautiful people walked in the door. I thought to myself "Oh wow, they have the coolest style, definitely look like a couple of models. I wish that I was brave enough to go and talk to them but I'm far to shy. Oh well..." and went back to my browsing. A little while later I glance up and notice them staring in my direction and smiling. It was one of those moments where I wasn't sure if they were actually looking at me or at something behind me, so I just didn't move. I just stood there awkwardly for what felt like a weirdly long time. Then something that I never ever expected happened, the guy approached me and told me that he loved my style and would love to photograph me some time. He took some photo's there on his phone and we kept in contact after that. And finally, yesterday, it actually happened. 

I'm so grateful for my life and all the amazing people in it. This just makes me think, what if every time I see a cool looking person I actually go and talk to them instead of just thinking about it. Imagine how many awesome experiences I may have missed out on just because I was too shy. So from now on I'm going to speak my mind and make an effort to meet new people. Because why not?

I hope you like the final images, I love them. Storm was absolutely amazing to work with, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I truly admire his imagination, creative vision and talent.
