Elke Bonner is one of the great young models on Brisbane (17 at the time of the shoot). She reminds me a lot of young Kate Moss, minus the cocaine and bad choices in men of course. Full of life and a sarcastic humour to match mine, we had a great shoot at Redcliffe. Frankie Fong was gracious enough to do a quick makeup for this shoot of the 3 different shoots he had to do that day! <3 We drove around for ages trying to find this ‘castle’ in Redcliffe. We were given directions that we couldn’t really understand, so that was pretty epic.
A castle? What is a castle doing in the middle of Redcliffe?? – Elke Bonner
Turns out that it was actually a novelty fort built by the side of the beach. Pfft.
Check out all that stuff! Well it’s not that much considering that it was for 3 separate shoots.
Lots of people were coming up to us asking if the shoot was for a magazine. I guess it does make people curious having 8 people photographing with so many equipment and clothes around.
The area was gorgeous, especially with the late afternoon sun. We lost a lot of time looking for the location but managed to scramble until the very last minute when the sun set.
I really think she’s going to be the next big thing.

Up next, travels in Bangkok and how I manage to stay alive in the middle of a political war zone.
