Circa AD jewellery shoot – a day in Melbourne

I flew to Melbourne for a special shoot with Adrian Dickens, the creative force behind Circa AD Jewels, a boutique jeweller renowned for his exquisite craftsmanship and timeless designs.

Our original plan was to shoot in the lush surrounds of Fitzroy Gardens, but in true Melbourne fashion, the weather had other ideas. With rain clouds looming, we made a quick pivot and set up at a nearby apartment building — a location that turned out to be the perfect backdrop for Adrian’s stunning pieces.

The session was part of the upcoming Circa AD catalogue, showcasing Adrian’s latest collection. The ever-elegant Carmen modelled the jewellery beautifully, bringing poise and warmth to every frame, while Perri Cutten provided the smart, sophisticated fashion that perfectly complemented Adrian’s designs.

With such a talented team, excellent results were assured. The day unfolded with great energy and collaboration, and I’ve included a few out-takes and snippets below to give a sense of the atmosphere on set.

Once the final selections for the catalogue are made, I’ll be sharing another post featuring some of the finished shots — so stay tuned!

Fashion and jewellery collaboration in Melbourne

Circa AD, a personal jeweller based in Melbourne teamed up with Perri Cutten, the well-known, Melbourne-based fashion label to work together on creating a new campaign.

I flew down to Victoria to shoot Adrian Dickens’ fabulous jewellery for Circa AD, worn by the model Sharon, stylishly dressed in Perri Cutten outfits.  On location in the inner Melbourne suburb of Windsor, we produced imagery with a warm intimacy and fashionable flair. More photographs from this shoot to follow in a later post.

High fashion and jewellery, high-up in Melbourne

I recently flew to Melbourne to photograph an evening of fashion and jewellery at the Morgan Stanley offices in the lofty heights of the corporate central business district.

The event was generously hosted by Morgan Stanley in Collins Street and featured wonderful outfits from Perri Cutten styled with beautiful pieces from the Circa AD Jewels collection, with a goodie bag bursting with gifts from ISoMLindt, Perri Cutten, Morgan Stanley and Circa AD Jewels,

The evening was a fund raiser for the charity Giant Steps Melbourne, supporting children and adults on the autism spectrum. The evening raised more than $10,000 for this valuable organisation.

The offices are immaculate and a wonderful space for hosting such an event. Perri Cutten’s garments were enhanced by an array of fabulous jewellery from Adrian Dickens of Circa AD Jewels, Melbourne.

I captured some video footage of the parade. See below:

Jewels for Circa AD

“Jewels of all sorts and sizes continue to cross my path,” says Adrian Dickens from Circa AD. “Whether to re-sell for clients, to re-invent, to retail, to source or just to enjoy. Whether valuable or not, each jewel is given the upmost attention in order to make it sing.”
