Photographer Megan Cullen partnered up with stylist Madeline Roberts and model Talisa Quirk from IMG to create this Australian editorial exclusively for C-Heads.
The team traveled through Australia's Sunshine Coast, taking pictures at The Big Strawberry, The Big Pineapple, The Big Cow and The Big Pelican. These sites are fun and playful, essentially capturing the vibe that Cullen was looking for. No matter how old we get, we can still be amused and delighted by something as silly as a gigantic piece of fruit. I mean, what's not to love? Quirk really got into spirit, dressing in playful ensembles, such as a strawberry-printed jacket thrown atop a Little Mermaid ensemble.
The rest of the creative team was rounded out by Penny Antaur, a makeup artist from ARC Creative, and hair stylist Iggy.
