Photography by Chanelle Leslie and Claire Alice Young

It was January this year when Claire and I decided to collaborate for a final shoot before she moved to Melbourne, and we made it the biggest either of us had ever done to that point. We kept it raw and local: young designers fresh out of TAFE, and unsigned models scouted off the street. But what I loved most about it was the way it brought out our different styles: the contrast of the darkness and the light. 

Our concept for the shoot was for the styling to be inspired by the elegance and strength of birds, but looking back I see a split personality reflected in the shoot, the simultaneous darkness and light that we each have inside us. Go to Claire's facebook page to see even more beautiful images.
