The first sunrise with Claudia

For my first shoot of the year, I picked up Claudia from Coogee and we headed south to Cronulla to watch the light pierce gently through the clouds. I knew this one was a 50/50. It was either going to be soft overcast and dull, or the sun would come out and give us a beautiful glow. Fortunately we got a few breaks, and in between, myself and my dear friend Tianna who assisted on the day made jokes, and moved locations.

It was a great start to the year, and yet again, proved my faith in chasing that morning glow in order to find those surreal moments that feel almost perfect.

Claudia is currently in Copenhagen but you can reach out to work with her here, and Tianna is a brilliant photographer and you can find her here. Claudia asked me how I do it without her. Honestly, I don’t know, I owe her a great deal of gratitude for all of January.
