This year’s Pacific Design Academy Fashion Show was something truly special. Not only did I have the honour of photographing the entire event, but I also had the incredible experience of teaching the designers a fashion photography course in the weeks leading up to the show. Watching them go from classroom to catwalk was an absolute highlight of my year.
The energy backstage was buzzing, the runway looks were bold and diverse, and the creativity on display was next-level. Every designer brought something unique, and seeing their collections come to life under the lights was powerful. I’m proud to have captured it all—every confident step, every detail of texture and fabric, every expression of creative vision.
Special thanks to Pacific Design Academy for trusting me not only with the photography but also with the opportunity to teach and mentor these emerging talents. Shout out as well to @erinbradleyartist and her amazing makeup team, plus the talented hairstylists and everyone behind the scenes who brought the evening together seamlessly.
And of course, a huge thank you to the models who brought the designers’ visions to life on the runway—you’ll find many familiar faces in the gallery below.
