Worth a spot on your coffee table is A Room of her Own New from Australia-based writer and photographer Robyn Lea. An interior design study where creative women from around the world are featured artistically in their living spaces.
Meet the creative women living on their own terms in the unique living spaces they have designed and inhabit in this lavishly produced volume. Creative practitioners, philosophers, and rebels, the women chronicled in this volume refuse to compartmentalize or neglect any of their talents or interests. Instead, their lives are a canvas for their artistry. We see it in their homes and studios, their tables, and how they dress. A Room of Her Own features twenty extraordinary women and takes us on a private tour across the world into their personal and professional domains.
Among them are photographers, painters, sculptors, writers, chefs, designers, jewellers, curators, makers, and directors. The women are united in their refusal to play by the rules of others. Taking in the likes of the grand, sweeping halls of a castle in the Austrian countryside, a convent-like property in Mexico, and a beach home in Australia’s Palm Beach, this book is a celebration of the homes, of these inspiring women. Stunning photography combining portraiture and interior in a coffee table book to enjoy.

A Room of Her Own by Robyn Lea
I do love a good cookbook with a personal story, so I picked up Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines. Simple recipes are photographed in a delightful yet straightforward way. Something every budding food photographer should be able to achieve with the proper guidance on how to photograph and style food. Interior, garden and beautiful peonies photos’ to illustrate the book. With its tactile linen spine and appealing tones, the book itself shouts out from the shelves to be bought.
Creating a cookbook with your very own family recipes to have as a keepsake for the generations to come or to go on the journey of either getting published or self publish can be a dream. But with time, planning and support it can be achieved. If you want to take control of your book by using your own photo’s but feel there is more to learn about photography and styling then an opportunity of staying in residence in a beach house in Kingscliff, Australia for either one or two weeks could be the dream you are waiting for.
Stay, cook, style and photograph your tested recipes with me as your food photography mentor. Guiding you through styling, light and composition. Days to shoot and discuss how to create a cookbook from scratch.
Local markets and shops to get fresh food and produce. Assistance with cooking, or styling can also be arranged as well as a session with a recipe writer. Excited and wanting to know more details then contact me
