Basic Instinct

Basic Instinct was shot for HerCanberra Magazine. The theme of the edition was 'Back to Basics', so the concept was to create an ultra-modern–minimalist story, focusing on clean lines; proportion; texture and bold contrast. Photography plays off light and shadow and was captured in the architectural setting of the National Gallery of Australia.
