Photographer as Muse: Ryan Brabazon

Not sure where I found my new obsession.
Could be RUSSH Mag or a Free People Catalgoue but either way, I'm thankful.

Ryan Brabazon's work is currently my new escape.
Australian born (Bondi, Sydney to be exact), mastering also Surf and Football.
Apparently that exists, this guys work is almost amateur, but it works and it's great. 

Escapist in theme; Less is still more.
Raw, Candid, Documentary and yes lots of waif beauts in the nude,
Brabazon's work is a refreshing relief from over done, over staged editorials.
Take a more subdued Corinne Day and a less whimsical Ryan McGinley and add some
 cacti and crochet bikinis and you just may get this. 

Some might find it typical, cliche and been done, but I'm weak for this stuff.
Like a new white silk blouse, some shit just doesn't go out of style.
Here's a look at a couple of my favorites takes from various shoots, look books etc etc etc
Enjoy  x
                           

      

Private Mirages

     

 I've never been to the desert, only through photos. 

     After discovering sand dunes that go on forever on a recent camping trip,

 I came pretty close, just without the cactus.

It was a desert of her own.

Sur La Lune

After months of deliberation, design and wtf moments,
these lovely camera straps have officially arrived and yes,
I'm over the moon.

They're finally here to grace the shoulders of

all my photography lovers and I couldn't be more excited.
In turn, I celebrated by forcing a gorgeous creature to model them
in the most seductive way possible and then shared it on the internet..
You're welcome.

This is a sneak peak/ look-book of sorts, the one where you forget the point of the exercise
and just shoot whatever steals the show, hopefully the camera straps did just that.
Do enjoy friends x

NYC Diary

     
        Photos from Bushwick to Coney Island to Central Park,
        We got our energy fix off taco trucks and one too many Iced-Cawfees.
        And yes, we also fit in MOMA & the Brooklyn flea.
