I love working with sustainable brands, creating beautiful images to help promote inspired and cutting edge products. It’s important to me to see these positive grass-roots businesses prosper. I recently had the pleasure of photographing for Cocoze Shoes, a fantastic new Canadian company making eco shoes from coconut fiber and natural rubber: an alternative to the highly disposable synthetic thong that we Australian’s love to wear. Below is a quick Q&A with Wayne Seto, Managing Partner at Cocoze Shoes. What are the best 3 things about Cocoze Shoes? There are so many good things about Cocoze Shoes that choosing only 3 things was difficult. So I consulted the founder of Cocoze, Pierre Thomson, for his input. In the end we both agreed upon the following, if it had to be only 3: 1) Our shoes at Cocoze naturally and gently exfoliate the soles of your feet, making your feet soft, healthy and beautiful. 2) Coconut fiber (coir) used to make our shoes is 100% natural, sustainable and biodegradable.

After 4 years on the road (travelling through Japan and North, Central and South America) I have returned to Australia and decided to keep the adventures rolling by setting up in a brand new city. Sydney is my new home and I’m so excited about the opportunities ahead. My photography will still be centred around bohemian fashion, portraiture and humanitarian photography, and I am specialising in photographing for brands of a sustainable and ethical nature. I’m enjoying networking with the other Sydney creatives, and inspiring each other’s ideas for photographic projects. I’m also enjoying the lifestyle opportunities available here – yoga, dance, art, sub-cultures, and the fantastic organic markets that I’ve discovered in the Inner West. www.organicfoodmarkets.com.au I’d love to hear from anyone who is looking for a Sydney based photographer for an upcoming photography project. Please feel free to contact me and I’ll get straight back to you to. Enjoy the beautiful weather! Read More
James and I wrote and photographed this article for Tide Magazine in Germany. James interviewed Patricia and Ellie, from Munich, about their falling in love with the magical Panamanian village of Santa Catalina and starting the regions first surf shop. The girls are an inspiration and show that you can follow your heart and live your dreams in paradise. The article was translated into German. Please send me an email if you’d like to read the English version. Photos by Alicia Fox Surf photos by Richard Brady Words by James Galletly Read More
