TedX Sydney It was an honour to be part of the team of photography who captured images of the TedX Sydney event at Sydney Convention Centre in 2018. Posting live from backstage, we had a huge team of shooter, runners and computer gurus ensuring that everything ran smoothly. I have been a fan of TED Talk for many years, finding great inspiration and information from amazing speakers around the world. Being there amongst the speakers and organisers was an energising experience. TEDxSydney is the leading platform for the propagation of Australian ideas, creativity and innovation to the rest of the world. TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less) and covers almost all topics from science to business to global issues. Here are some of my event photographs from TedX Sydney. Magda Szubanski Magda silenced the TedX audience with her heart wrenching stories about her family’s past, her childhood and her public “coming out”. She is an incredible speaker and entertainer. It was a privilege to witness this fragile side to Magda as I grew up seeing her on TV as a confident and […] Read More

Product & Flat Lay Photography Palmers Australia commissioned me to shoot product and flat lay photography – a collection of 20 images for their international advertising platforms. The brief included both styling and photographing the bath and beauty products, which came very naturally to me because their branding style aligns closely with my own lifestyle – tropical, natural and fresh. “Alicia is a delight to work with – efficient, a great communicator and the quality of her work speaks for itself. We’re so excited to use her images across our Australian and global digital campaigns in the coming months.” -Emma Clark | Digital, Content, Community & Communications Executive at Palmers Posting The Products For The Photo Shoot Palmers sent me a package of around 20 different products from their range of beauty and bath products. I was given full creative control to style and arrange the products however I thought would work best visually, within the brief and branding guidelines. This made it very easy for my client, as they could simply post the goods to me without having to put any additional time and energy into the photography. Pre-Production Before the shoot I sat down […] Read More

Eco Photographer An interview of ethically focussed photographer, Alicia Fox in Muse Magazine Australia’s newest magazine for inspiration, self-help and culture, featured an interview about my work as an eco photographer. The article explores my journey from being a teenager driven to fulfil my dreams of travel and photography, to the journey that entailed, learning about what is really important to me and utilising my profession to work towards a better world. As you can read below, photography has taken me around the globe, discovering incredible cultures and learning from some of the most ancient and untouched peoples in the world today. These lessons are priceless and I am extremely grateful for the journey thus far. Being an eco photographer and living a sustainable lifestyle in both my professional and personal life is something extremely important to me, and something that I’ve written about in previous blog posts. My work with indigenous groups and NGOs around the world has contributed to this greatly. Once visiting these places and sitting to talk with the people effected by climate change, corporate greed, environmental destruction and so on, it’s impossible to turn a blind eye and un-care. Everyone can make […] Read More
This blog post is about a shoot I had photographing portraits of up and coming business owners in Kempsey, on the Mid North Coast of NSW. One of these businesses is Bucket Brewery, a local boutique brewery. The Mid North Coast is full of passionate business people working on wonderful and exciting ventures. I was hired by Kempsey Shire Council to photograph some of these business people for the new Macleay Valley Welcome Pack. The brief was to create environmental portraits – that is, portraits showing the person in their own unique setting. Bucket Brewery is a funky new small business with a lot of passion behind it and big things ahead. Owners, Sam and Amanda Preston have lovingly converted South Kempsey’s old energy depot into a beautiful, contemporary space. For now it is just a brewery but they have big plans to expand the space into a thriving new venue where locals and visitors can enjoy the brews with amazing views over the river.

I was asked to do photography of a Kempsey Riversideside Markets special event, the Kempsey Twilight Markets. I’ve always loved markets so covering the event photography for this special Christmas market was a lot of fun. Riversider Park was packed with stalls, showcasing many locally made arts, crafts and food. There was an abundance of local produce with fresh fruit and veggies and gorgeous flowers. The entertainment was mainly singer songwriters from the local area and I enjoyed discovering some of our local artists from around the Mid North Coast. If you are looking for an Event Photographer for your upcoming event in Kempsey, Crescent Head, South West Rocks, Port Macquarie or elsewhere on the Mid North Coast, please get in touch to discuss how I can help.

Yoga photography shoot in Crescent Head, Mid North Coast NSW. Yoga Photography marries two of my greatest passions. We did this styled photo shoot on our property in Crescent Head. Bringing our own lives into the shoot made it simple and a lot of fun. I have been practicing yoga for 17 years…exactly half of my life. It has been on and off over the years but these days I find yoga such an important part of my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. I can’t imagine ever going without it again. It has also lead me to great friends, beautiful destinations and amazing experiences. I am so grateful for my weekly yoga meet up with my good friends. We practice an hour of yoga each Sunday morning, followed by half an hour of meditation. Afterwards we share a pot (I mean a five litre pot) of chai, with plates fruit and nuts. It is a sacred part of every week for me. I’m also doing two classes a week at The Yoga Shala in Port Macquarie. These photos are from a recent shoot I did for I am That Yoga, a yoga […] Read More
In December we saw some of the worst bush fires ever in Crescent Head. Over 3 weeks I photographed the fires that reached the edge of our property as helicopters, fire trucks and even planes fought to keep the houses and people in our community safe. I’ve lived here for 3 years, after living and working as a photographer in Sydney, Melbourne and overseas. I knew the day would eventually come when bushfires would be here. The clock had been ticking. The firefighters and RFS did an amazing job and we are extremely grateful for their hard work and skill. Below are a few of the photos from the 2017 Big Hill Bush Fires in Crescent Head. Read More

I was in Byron Bay for a fashion and lifestyle photo shoot for Japanese wetsuit brand, Moon Jelly. This boutique brand happens to come from the little surf town I lived in a few years ago in Chiba-Ken (east of Tokyo), where they hand make customised super kawaii wetsuits. The Moon Jelly crew were in Australia for the Byron Bay Surf Festival. We shot at Atlantic Byron Bay a picturesque resort in the heart of Byron. It was the perfect backdrop for our swimwear/surf fashion photography shoot. SaveSave SaveSave SaveSave SaveSaveSaveSave I’m based in Crescent Head NSW.
