HORNET CREW FASHION SHOOT

What better way to support local fashion designers, photographers, and hair and make-up artists than with our very own fashion photo shoot?

To make it interesting, The Hornet Press is utilizing its staff base as models. Introducing the crew behind our brand; Jack Lynch (left), Anthea Palmer (center), and Lexi Ukosich (right).

We've combined the talent of Jude Ng (fashion designer), and Brent Bennett (hair, make-up, and photography, to bring you the Hornet Crew Fashion Shoot #1.

Anthea: I still have a long way to go in accepting and being happy with how I look, particularly as a middle-aged woman.

Anthea: The collaborative effort of all involved was wonderful.

Jack: I learned that I enjoy the process of shooting - getting my makeup done, trying on clothes, and discovering different looks.

Lexi: It brought back memories of the younger version of me, always wanting to be a model, but I was too short to pursue it seriously. Sometimes random events bring back old memories.

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE PHOTOSHOOT PROCESS?

Jack: I enjoyed having fun with Anth and Lex, and having a laugh during the shoot

Lexi: The best part about the photoshoot was having my make-up done professionally instead of the rushed job I normally do.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY FOR THE NEXT SHOOT?

Anthea: I will stop making a resting-bitch-face in every pose.

Jack: I'd like to get a bit more experimental and "out there" with looks and poses.

Lexi: Next time I will make sure I’ve lost some weight. It’s motivation to get me back to the gym on a more regular basis. This will make me feel more confident next time.

HOW DID YOU RESPOND TO THE CLOTHING CHOSEN FOR YOU?

Anthea: I was grateful for the comfortable fit of the clothing, and that Jude's garments suit a multitude of shapes and sizes.

Jack: I loved the clothing! Jude's clothing is so versatile and edgy - whilst also being extremely comfortable!
