Congratulations to Sue and Coast Front Realty for your success at Port Macquarie Business Awards 2016!!
I first met Sue a few months ago. Even at our first meeting she was overflowing with ideas about opportunities, volunteer projects and professional pursuits. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Read More
There is something really feminine about boho style – the floral crowns, the frills, the flowing fabrics; the embodiment and expression of mother nature. I’ve been attracted to styles like these since I was a little girl and I love that they are so en vogue at the moment. I photographed Mel and Nikia on the beach in Port Macquarie, Mid North Coast of NSW. Although the girls hadn’t modelled for a photo shoot before, they both did a fantastic job. I wanted to evoke a sense of mystery, sensuality and beauty in these portraits, and by working through a series of outfits and poses we got some beautiful images – my favourites are below. I am available for commercial shoots as well as private photo sessions. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with your inquiry at info@aliciafox.net or 0429 211 567. Read More
In my past life, working as a freelance photographer in Sydney, I had the pleasure of working with the wonderful creative team at Tree of Life, shooting their bohemian fashion, jewellery and homewares. We had so much fun at head office and on locations around the city, photographing their pretty bohemian products from India, Napal, Thailand and other exotic locations. I recently guest posted on the Tree of Life Blog about my transition from working 80 hour work weeks in the big city, to slowing down, moving to the country and building my dream home in the incredibly beautiful coastal town of Crescent Head, with my fiance, James. You can see images from the post below. To see the full post on the Tree of Life blog, click HERE! You can see more photos on my Instagram feed. Thanks for reading!! Read More
Fashion is a fun industry to work in. It’s fun to wear, it’s fun to style and it’s fun to photograph. For me, it’s very important to make sure the fashion I’m involved in is “clean” – good for the environment and good for the fashion industry workers, ie. Environmentally and socially sustainable. Following recent disasters like the Rana Plaza Disaster, in which thousands of garment workers in Bangladesh were killed and injured, and yesterday’s footwear factory fire in the Philiipines in which 72 were killed, the industry is shifting and consumers are beginning to demand more transparency of the supply chain and more ethical fashion industry practices. Fashion Revolution is one organisation doing amazing things to advance this important movement. Photography plays a major role in promoting sales of products in the fashion industry. Being an Eco Photographer is important to me. It means I support the ethical brands that are part of this fashion revolution. These are often new, grass roots labels who are building a name for themselves from the ground up. Australian sunglasses brand, Chief Eyewear are one such brand that I had the pleasure of working with. Their bamboo sunglasses are high quality and […] Read More
My friend Paul Martin has been rescuing injured, native animals since he was a teenager. He is on call to rescue wildife in Crescent Head and the surrounding Mid North Coast area. I had the opportunity to meet a gannet which Paul rescued, and witness its transformation from a weak and vulnerable animal, to a rehabilitated sea bird, ready to take on the world again. I captured these photographs at my favourite local beach, Racecourse Beach, where Paul read the winds and picked the right time to release this little guy. Paul wrote the article below about the animal rescue. Today I am happy to see the article land on the front cover of both the Port Macquarie Independent and the Mid Coast Courier. It’s always great to see a good news story being shared. Gannet returns to the wild Gannets are often seen diving spectacularly for bait fish off local beaches. This young one, however, was found by Jess Tout on the Crescent Head Back Beach on 14/4/15. It tried to go into the water but was not able to navigate the rough surf, and sat back down on the beach. Jess, who lives locally and is keen […] Read More
As the days heat up and Summer vibes kick in, up here on the Mid-North Coast, I thought I’d revisit a super fun photo shoot I did in Costa Rica for Venezuelan label, Desi Swimwear. We had a ball shooting with these Latin beauties, on the breathtaking Playa Hermosa, as perfect waves rolled in behind us. These bubbly girls were so much fun to work with. You can check out some behind the scenes shots on my Facebook page here. I’ve been having a fabulous time scoping out locations for future fashion shoots and other photo shoots around Port Macquarie and Crescent Head (and in the process, finding my new favourite beach in the whole wide world!). Being new to this area, I am so overwhelmed by its natural beauty. I feel so blessed to live in this stunning part of Australia and I’m so looking forward to all the beautiful, natural backdrops I’ll be working with in the future, on shoot like the one picture here.

It is such an honour when my photos are published in one of my favourite magazines. I am attracted to publications that are stylish, environmentally conscious and full of awesome content. Peppermint Magazine is all of these things, which is why I’m so excited to see my fashion photography on their beautiful, textured (recycled paper) pages! These photos are part of the first collection by one of Australia’s most prominent Eco Fashion Warrioresses, Carlie Ballard. Carlie recently received the Fashion award at the Green Lifestyle Awards in Sydney, and deservedly so.

Carlie’s label is dedicated to supporting fairtrade artisans and using sustainable fabrics which have a minimal carbon footprint. The gorgeous garments are designed to last many seasons.
