Lewis is a 24 year old photographer from Perth, Western Australia. He found his love for photography at a young age during a family holiday around both the North and South islands of New Zealand, where he continued to photograph landscapes and surf upon his return to the northern suburbs of Perth. This quickly led to shooting fashion, food and events for local businesses in Perth. He was fortunate enough to have shot his first wedding at the age of 19, which was the beginning of many in the years to follow as he began a new branch of his business in the wedding industry, shooting over 25 weddings in 2023. Covid pushed him to move to the Margaret River region to escape the chaos where he picked up a handful of clients such as Creatures of Leisure, Credaro Winery, Shelter Brewing co and Meelup Farmhouse. He wanted to chase bigger things and see what was possible so he took an internship position under Ian and Erick Regnard at Friday’s Studio in Perth to hone his craft and learn lighting inside and out. After 12 months with the brothers at Friday’s he went back to his country of birth and spent 4 months in London working as a lighting technician on fashion and advertising jobs for photographers such as Oliver Hadlee Pearch, Maya Skelton, Tom Craig and Emma Tempest. He now calls London home and continues to assist other high profile photographers in Europe and hopes to use this experience as a platform to project his career and be agency represented as a fashion and lifestyle photographer.

Ash is an emerging fashion designer based in Perth, Australia. She was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in Ipswich, UK, where she developed a love for fashion design. Ash's inspiration comes from her mother, who studied textile design at university, and she modeled her mother's final year designs as a child. This sparked her interest in fashion design and she pursued it seriously at college in the UK, where she graduated in 2018. In late 2019, Ash applied to Tafe and recently graduated with an advanced diploma in Fashion Design and Merchandising.  Ash's fashion line, Ashley Maria fashion, is focused on diversity and re-representation and aims to spread awareness about worldwide social issues. The collection showcases a high-end streetwear look and uses recycled and reworked denim patterns, as well as bold stencil fonts.  Ash has lived in three different countries, and each has had a significant impact on her and her work. She credits Tafe with helping her to gain the skills and experience she needed to succeed in the fashion industry, and believes that she would not be doing fashion if she had not moved to Perth.

Khail is a Perth-based tattoo artist. Khail’s style is influenced by Japanese art, graffiti culture, realist portraiture, hand lettering, vigilante characters, and anti-establishment culture. Khail grew up in Rockingham both his parents are artists so he was subconsciously influenced by art at a young age. Going to school Khail drew on books, his friends, and their clothing or shoes. Khail has been represented at many national tattoo conventions and won an array of awards at tattoos including best realism tattoo, tattoo of the day, best black and grey, and best color but I feel like awards don’t begin to represent Khail’s talent. In this episode, we’re going to dive deeper into Khail’s story, background, inspiration, and goals for the future.

Scarcity cultivates Creativity... so Perth's abundant economy (thanks to our luck with mineral resources) has created a culture that doesn't see a value in creativity. Why would Perth value creativity if we already have an abundant economy? Why should we think for ourselves when we can easily get a high-earning job in mining? Why fund the arts when I can already fund my new Landrover and Jetski thanks to Woodside?~ Well it shows in our terrible urban planning, urban sprawl, architectural residential design codes, taste in public art, and Individualistic culture. What's the solution? Cultivate creative community, culture and awareness around these topics.  

In this epsiode I chat to Atle Edgar, a Boorloo (Perth) based mixed medium artist and founder of A.I.P Shit (Perth Artists Initiative). Predominately a sculptor, he works in recycled materials, blu-tac. Stylistically, his work is gritty in form, figure, and texture yet colourful, playful and humorous. His work comments on contrasting life perspectives. In this episode we talk about the Perth creative landscape, monetizing art, A.I Art, The psychology of creativity, The Value of Art in Communities, Perth's urban planning, global warming activism, the FIFO bubble economy, Cultural Syncretism, crypto, NFTs, and more!
