Seducing the holiday vibes and long lazy sun filled days to come with this cheeky little shoot.

Here we go!

Wrapping up the year with some super meaningful work. Photographer brings sensitivity and artistry that blends perfectly with heartfelt brief for ‘Nuture The Future Within’. What a buzz it was crafting with this talented team!

‘Contributing to something that matters not just artistically but socially brings a sense of meaning that stays with you long after the work is done. This project felt like a chance to connect my art to something bigger, and for that, I feel truly grateful’ - says Katya.

This campaign calls on all of us to nurture the future within, to recognise our role as future ancestors, and to keep pregnancy alcohol-free. This is about looking after our next generations, now.

Katya’s and Dahnu’s partnership between photography and film resulted in a visual unity and purpose, aligned to Curative’s powerful messaging.

This campaign is a conversation starter, and now the real Mahi can begin.

A soggy crew braving the elements with as much durability as the new Find X8 Pro.

Behind the scenes, the shoot was a testament to trust. “I held my breath every single time the phone left an actor’s hand—part terror, part exhilaration,” says . It went against the grain for the actors to throw the phone in the air - trusting that the props team would catch it. Each catch required multiple takes and a level of coordination. “To be honest, there were a few spills, but the phone survived them all without a scratch.”

saddled up and hit the road for and .commonground with the new OPPO Find X8 Pro and its epic built-in lenses. The brief was to capture a natural landscape, portrait, urban landscape and an open concept. And the breif was also to show how mighty this phone camera is, job well done Soph! 🤎🤠🤎

Slides 1-4 were exhibited at the OPPO Find X8 Pro launch, slides 3-7 are a few extra snippets gathered along the way.

Last week’s BELONGING Exhibition was epic, 🙏 to everyone who came along and filled with warmth and good heart. It was so cool to be reminded that we’re a community, regardless of the competitive nature, and the high’s and lows. We’re all basically pretty amazing human’s who care about our craft and the people we make stuff with. And this exhibition was all about belonging, and in some magical way, the vibe in the room amplified that completely.

So here’s to the work, the exhibition that explored and then embodied Belonging. And here’s to our team of talented image makers.
