Alexia Sinclair

It was a really great privellige to have Alexia Sinclair take the time to come and talk to us about her experiences in the Industry. It was really interesting to hear first hand the positives & negatives of the commercial world. The following are Photographers Alexia is influenced by - Bill Henson Patricia Piccinnini David LaChappelle Erwin Olaf Oleg Dou Annie Liebovitz Eugenio Recuenco Tim Walker Jill Greenberg Dave Hill Alexia mentioned 'mood boards' which she creates to represent her ideas for her images, these are used for both commercial pitches & her fine art series. I guess these are like creative "spreadsheets", great idea for planning & organization. Alexia finds inspiration in all forms of visual stimualtion - magazines, fashion, film sets, costumes and drews on all of these for both The Regal Twelve & The Royal Dozen. I have found great inspiration in these series, maybe enough to follow through with an idea I have had in the back of my mind since first year, 2nd semester folio maybe. Shooting stock images was also another great piece of advice I will be taking on board, especially on my 6 weeks overseas in the mid year break.
