I thought it would be fascinating to explore strong bold colours and see how my images would work together with Michael’s dreamy, evocative, out-of-focus, black-and-white images.
Michael was one of my favourite photographers when I was a model, so I was excited to work alongside him as a photographer this time around.
“I learnt that it’s entirely possible to take two completely different ways of shooting and seeing things, and make them look great on a page together. Also, that as we move on in our life journeys, as Michael and I have done, we can see each other differently and work together as co-creators, instead of our original roles as a seventeen-year-old model and a photographer.”

For most of my life, I’ve been a photographer, a filmmaker and a storyteller. About 20 years ago, I began a parallel journey and started to explore what I felt was left behind after my encounters with people and places... a feeling... an echo... .
Alexa’s concept of ‘iseeyousee’ was an invitation to explore how unique we all are. The idea of two people standing in the same place but seeing something very different has always fascinated me.
Here is a visual window into that process.
“Alexa said to me: “Who would have thought that one day we would be standing next to each other and photographing a model together?” The first time I worked with Alexa, me on one side of the camera and she on the other, she was a young woman who would, in a matter of months, become a stunning face on the covers of American Vogue. I stood there thinking how unknown our futures are, and how wonderful it was that the circles of life had connected us again.”
