Today when I was sorting through files I was reminded of the beautiful oak stairwell that I photographed for @farside_melbourne at the @lucy_clemenger house last year - such beautifully executed joinery and craftsmanship #melbourneinteriors

Today is the last chance to view the stunning works in the 2018 Mari Funaki jewellery exhibition @galleryfunaki for which I happily documented last week. So many stunning and original pieces ✨
Happy to have my images featured on @thelocalproject for the @braveneweco #yarravilliaproject
@braveneweco and I have had a cracking week on the media exposure side of life 🙌🏼Alongside the feature of the #yarravilliaproject on the @thedesignfiles we received the latest issue of @sanctuarymag in the letterbox featuring an article on the #bungalowupcycleproject as part of a preview of the 2018 Sustainable House Day events. Interior & landscape design by @braveneweco / building by @macasarbuilding / photographs by me 📷😎
Thank you!
