Amanda’s Fashion Photoshoot

Amanda emerged as the victor in the Wellington round of the Ralph Swimsuit Model of the Year competition, hosted by Brady Dyer Photography a few months back. Her prize package included a photoshoot. Following this, she claimed victory in the New Zealand finals in Auckland and secured fifth place in the grand final in Australia (Way to go, Amanda!). After aligning our schedules, we embarked on creating a magical shoot with retro and vintage vibes throughout.

Hair magic was conjured by Lauren Sampson Hair, while Emma-Jane Hunter, my assistant and stylist, tweaked the looks during the shoot. Rebecca Connor ‘Boutique Mobile Styling’ provided indispensable makeup artistry for Amanda.

For props and accessories, we turned to a second-hand trader in Lower Hutt (located on Queens Drive, not far from Empire Skate). If you’re on the hunt for retro treasures, give them a visit!

Crowns Clothing, an emerging local designer, lent us some fabulous winter capes that worked brilliantly. Scroll down to see them featured in the photos, and if anything catches your eye, pop over to their website for more details.

And now, without further ado, here are the photos.
