Jack Willingham Photography and Lara Lockwood are a creative partnership from the UK. They have worked together on a number of photographic projects in and around their hometown of Bristol, in the south west of England.
Wanting to work in a new environment, Jack and Lara arranged a three-month trip travelling around Australia and New Zealand.
They set out to shoot a variety of fashion images using natural landscapes as a striking backdrop.
As they travel, Jack and Lara have been collaborating with local designers, stylists and make up artists and even an ex-racehorse, Charlie, at Horseshoe Bay on Magnetic Island.
Talking to them about their experience thus far they said, "We wanted to capture the variety of terrain that Australia offers and use the natural beauty to complement, or contrast, with the clothing and make up in the images. We have driven for hours to reach our chosen locations and have often had to adapt what we have had in mind when we reached them. Shooting in the Pinnacles desert was a challenge for both of us as the wind was so strong – we found it hard to keep our eyes open against the sand and then had to be careful that the sand didn’t damage the camera.

We are two months into our journey and about to leave Sydney for Christchurch. It has been a wonderfully creative trip around Australia and we have been struck by how enthusiastic and imaginative our collaborations have been. We are now excited about getting to New Zealand."
