If you follow along on Instagram, you may have noticed that I recently partnered with Sony to celebrate the launch of the new Sony Xperia X. I was given the challenge to take the new device for a spin around Melbourne to capture the way I live wild in the city — with movement, vibrancy and motion. The Sony Xperia X’s new camera has advanced autofocus capabilities which enable you to capture action at the touch of a button to ensure that you #missnothing of those special, everyday moments.
If you missed the campaign on Instagram, here’s a look at what I got up to with the Sony Xperia X. The first destination I captured was the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about an hour’s drive south of Melbourne city. I love this region fiercely with its landscape of gentle, rolling hills, sprawling vineyards and rugged coastline. I don’t get down here nearly enough as I’d like to, so this was the perfect excuse to take a road trip for the day and get shooting.

I also couldn’t resist capturing the inner-city neighbourhood I call home: Collingwood. Painted head to toe with colourful street art and boasting some of the best cafes in all of Melbourne, I have a soft spot for this neighbourhood, I admit. I had so much fun getting wild and playful in my hood.
