Can you sum up Melbourne? Imagine you are somewhere where you can take stunning road trips along the coast, have picnics in beautiful blooming gardens and parks, ride your city around endless bike trails, and have dinner at a place where everyone is treated equal. That’s Melbourne.
What is a perfect day in Melbourne? Everyday is destined to be perfect but there’s a good chance for it to be even better if it includes hammocks, lunch at Lentils, and a bike ride around the city.
How long have you been using Instagram? A little over a year now.
Do you shoot with your phone or other cameras or both? Mainly with my phone but also with my Canon 6D every now and then.
What is your editing process? VSCO Cam for the photos taken with my phone.
Do you create images outside of Instagram? Yes. I am a fashion and lifestyle photographer.
Has Instagram/phoneography affected how you shoot? Not particularly Instagram but changing from analogue to digital definitely has.
Who are your three favorite Instagrammers? @maudchalard, @elenoreearth, @theroadishome
