half moon


Model: Roelene (Chadwick)
Hair and make-up: Josie Nakhoul
Styling/Photography: Jysla Kay

As soon as I saw this post by Geneva from A Pair & A Spare inspired by Givenchy's S/S runway show, I knew I had to recreate it in one of my shoots. Different, and maybe a little creepy but 100% fun with a touch of sparkle. Pixie-faced Roelene was so much fun to shoot with, happily standing in the middle of traffic and dancing in the rain -- all for the sake of some shots.

This was the quickest test shoot I've ever done, but it sits high up there with my favourites - an effortless shoot with countless hair flips and stubborn rain.

  1. these are some amazing pictures!!

    i love the see-through button down that roelene is wearing paired with the shimmery skirt. do you mind sharing where you got the clothes? :)

    the first picture is fantastic, with the lighting and the eye makeup combining to form something beautiful!!

    Thank you lovely!! This probably won't help since the clothes are quite old or are hand-me-downs but I hope you can find something similar:

    Blazer & sheer blouse - used to belong to my Mum and Grandma.
    Skirt - a really, really old dress from when I was younger that I did a little DIY project on by adding an elastic and turning it into a skirt.
    Jumpsuit - ICE (from a long time ago).
    Grey cardigan/shawl - Target
    Lace dress - Forever New (Model's own)
    Hat - Myer
