I started seeing a lot of work by model Riley Jade around the Brisbane modelling scene sometime in early 2018 – and I was instantly enamoured with it! I’ve always loved dance photography, and Riley entered the modelling world as a former dancer with Ballet, Jazz and Hip-Hop training (a strange combination!) and it was clear that she absolutely excelled at dance shoots. A champion of the beauty of the female form – Riley quickly found a niche with nude dance modelling.
Dance photography was an area that I really wanted to start working towards, so I contacted Riley and we set up a shoot in December 2018. Within what must have been only minutes of meeting Riley we were laughing and talking like old friends, which was lucky because we had a two hour drive just to get to our shooting location!
Riley and I worked so well together that she now forms a huge part of my portfolio, and I’m truely honoured to say that my work features a lot in hers too. Since this shoot we have worked together for a further three shoots, and there would be more had she not packed up and decided to see the world!
This shoot was incredible fun, and also the first time I tried my hand at Drone Photography. The shoot resulted in heaps of Behind the Scenes photos that I absolutely love, and you’ll find a lot of them interspersed here.
Enjoy.

Beautiful images Colin, its almost impossible to take a bad image of Riley though. ?
Definitely one of my favourite models, she is a natural wonder.
Couldn’t agree more Craig, Riley is a gem. Thank you so much!
