Nadz Banaag was one of the first contributors to the site to do an awesome video called, “She Was A Trash Silhouette” a few years back. Since then he’s been one of my favorites to keep up with on instagram and Facebook. His first photo series for the site, “Butterfly” is a nod to the 90s shot on film with a story…
I always wanted to explore something ‘soft grunge’, but always had this issue of finding the right model to fit the role of the character in my vision. This all changed last month.
While I was travelling in the Philippines I stumbled on a photo on instagram of a girl named Brooke Reeves and she blew me away. So much I cancelled a Tokyo trip, and flew back to Australia to meet her.
This is the result of an amazing adventure with a beautiful soul. Shot on 35mm film of course.
I titled this story “Butterfly” after the final track on ‘Grimes’ latest album ‘Art Angels’. I listened to it religiously before shooting this series.
