Ive been wanting to shoot a girl with dark skin for ages! Kimmy has AMAZING dark chocolate skin! It’s so perfect! More on my folio (nudity warning!): http://www.justinfoxphoto.com/girls#/kimmy-1/

Teaser test shots from today’s awesome 3 way collab with NYC based model/artist Cacia Zoo and videographer Scott Mitchell for Babylikestopony – Look out for more of my photos, and Scott’s awesome movie, soon!

Massive thanks to Ella at Daniella’s Gelato Cafe for letting us use her awesome cafe in Clovelly! She was an absolute legend!

Krysti and I have been meaning to shoot for years. Today it finally happened! Krysti’s selfies are AWESOME. She’s the selfie queen. Heaps of emotion. I love at least 80% of all her selfies. Put her in front of the lens though and she stiffens up! We didn’t quite get there today, but hey, we’re close and we will get there eventually! I definitely got some great shots though and I’m looking forward to uploading them, hopefully tomorrow some time.

Just as our shoot finished Cacia Zoo flew back in to town from Noosa (where she was shooting too). I got Cacia to meet me at Krysti’s place, and snapped this fun sequence of shots of the girls posing with Audrey, Krysti’s awesome KE55.

In the whirlwind that was February 2015 I’d forgotten all about this awesome shoot I had with Dayanne. She works for one of the largest magazine publishers in town, and reached out after seeing images from my shoot with Kimmy.

We’d been chatting on Facebook Messenger for a while, and though nervous, she agreed to a shoot. It was a really nice day on the day of the shoot so I grabbed a doona and we shot out in my backyard. Great conversations, she’s got a beautiful soul and I love how the photos turned out. The full set is up here: http://www.justinfoxphoto.com/girls/#/dayanne/

When I got back form Melbourne last night there was a parcel waiting for me from LYNX. I knew exactly what it was going to be! The LYNX Expression Series had Photographer Extraordinaire Dan Boud take a portrait of me and the photos have been printed in this limited edition book. One for my mum me thinks!

Where do you live? I live in Maroubra Beach, Sydney. Moved here over 10 years ago now (was previously living in the city). Very much in love with the sunlight, fresh air and sleeping to the sound of waves crashing.

What do you do? What don’t I do?! I sincerely do what I love and through Zen Garage (my latest and perhaps last project) I’ve found a way to combine all my passions into the one project where I’m free to promote whatever it is I’m into at this very moment.

Any claim to fame? I founded the Australian Infront design community in 1999 (it’s still running today). That got me places and helped me to learn how to build communities (I now run quite a few). Infront got me on the cover of the Sydney Morning Herald twice and helped to get my work published in magazines as well as speaking at Semi-Permanent Design Conference in front of 3,000 people.

What inspires you? Family and my upbringing mostly. I’m a child of the 80’s. All the stuff my Dad was into when I was a kid I’m into now. Cars, bikes. I was a skater and still love skate culture today. I used to be in a 3-piece rock band in university and still play the guitar these days. I’m also really inspired by Japanese culture (I used to do trips to Japan every year as a kid as my parents did business there).

How do you express yourself? Online, mostly. I’ve become a bit of a social media marketing expert, and have been coined a social media influencer. I’m not massive on taking selfless though. I’m more into blogging (I find it therapeutic and I love that I’m documenting my life), and for the past 6 months I’ve been getting into photography a lot (specifically shooting models).

Does what you wear reflect your personality? I don’t think so. I used to wear it on the outside when I was younger. Heels, leggings, dreads. I wasn’t quite punk, or goth, just somewhere in between. These days I tend to wear only black, white or grey and I very rarely wear anything with prints on it (unless it’s my own Zen merchandise which also only comes in black, white and grey).

What’s the one article of clothing you can’t live without? That’s a tough one! Probably my black Levi’s 510’s.

What style trends should we look out for in 2015? Personally. I think much more black and white. People just look better in it. When I see kids wear my Zen gear they 100% look better in it that wearing T’s with cars or bikes on their chests (sure I love cats but I’m not about to wear a jumper with cats all over it).

Is there an “Australian style for men” and if so what does it mean to you? I’m guilty of it myself, but it’s overwhelming how many guys just revert to wearing a T-Shirt, jeans and sneakers.

What’s your go-to gadget?
iPhone, for sure. MacBook a close 2nd.

Got body art? (if yes) What do you love about it? Tough stickers. No bull, they make me feel stronger.

Any stories about some of the art? I have a few pieces, all of which were done on the night (a year after) between my Father’s passing away and Kurt Cobain’s passing away. They all represent Yin Yangs to me (at least in my mind). One is an MC Escher piece featuring 4 lizards in a circle, another is a biohazard symbol and another is Itchy & Scratchy fighting in a cloud of arms and legs, bombs and knives.

Got a beard? (if yes) What’s with the Beard? I don’t have a chin, so I have a beard.

I’ve just uploaded the full set of photos from my Katana shoot with Japanese model Sakya. We took a fair few more shots without the sword elsewhere in the house, but in the end I’ve decided to just use the Katana shots as they make for a pretty strong standalone set (first world problems!).

Maya x Katana.

I landed yesterday morning but slept all day yesterday day, and also slept well last night. I woke up from a dream I had with Robbie in it, then I grabbed my phone and it was Robbie welcoming me back home! It’s freaky how connected to the world I am right now! Robbie and Krysti came over, we had some Brewristas cold drip (aw yeah!) and a great little catch up.

I then got a message form Sakya who was on her way over for our shoot! DAMN IT! Google Calendar hadn’t changed time zones and I’d completely forgotten about the shoot! I cleaned up the house a little and bam, Sakya and I were shooting with the Katana (culturally correct! Japanese girl with Katana! Yew!). She’s a rad girl, we clicked and I’m looking forward to uploading the shots we took. Here’s a teaser for now. More to come!

Cacia was sleeping like a log, so I let her sleep a few more hours to get over her jet lag. She finally rolled into the lounge room with a yoga mat in hand and I took the opportunity to snap a few shots of her out in my backyard.

No make-up, no fake lashes, no hair extensions, no spray tan, armpit stubble, deep breaths and huge yawns! I love her.

PS: I shot with the Sony a7S in full silent mode. No focusing beep or shutter sound as to not disturb her morning yoga routine. I have to admit, shooting in total silence is a really handy feature of this camera!
