Johnny, the owner and pastry chef of Johnny Baker in Castlemaine. When I photographed the larger than life character at his busy drive through Bakery, he was all too happy to proudly show off his baked works of art including personal favourite, his custard filled orange brioche buns.
A recent photoshoot with Donald, the craftsman and founder of the family owned Daylesford bespoke furniture business Pride Furniture .
When photographing Donald, we spoke about his passion for high quality timbers and how it was so important that his bespoke furniture maintained the highest level of craftsmanship.
When he sat for his portrait in his painting booth, the sawdust on his hands and across his face and the great sight of a bloke who had worked hard to create his dreams, all contributed to achieving these images.
