Like many others in the creative industries, two of Melbourne’s brightest talents, art director Jessica Lillico and photographer Sean Fennessy, found themselves with quite a bit of extra time on their hands during the Coronavirus lockdown.
, who are also partners in life, virtually had all of their work postponed or cancelled overnight. Rather than sit around at home perfecting their sourdough recipe, making banana bread or taking up pottery, they decided to actively stay inspired while helping fellow small businesses using their skills. And so ‘Studio Iso’ was born – an experimental still-life studio that offers a limited number of free small-scale photoshoots to businesses who have been hit hard by COVID-19.
Their first shoot was created for talented Melbourne furniture makers , who launched their beautiful new L’Art Lounge Chair with these images. And Sean points out, Jess was responsible for “the vision/direction/styling/actual hard work and I took care of the camera/playlist/dad jokes.” Typical. Ha!
Read on for a quick chat with Sean and Jess about their fantastic initiative.
