"Melbourne-based photographer and artist Kayla creates images that live between beauty and absurdity, confidence and uncertainty. In her work, the pretty becomes peculiar and the awkward quietly alluring, as she transforms fragments of her personal history into something playful, expressive, and reconciling. Identity, expression, and fashion merge in unexpected ways, guided by both her technical precision and conceptual vision. In Waiting Room, models are caught mid-leap, off-guard, or suspended between poses, moments that feel accidental but somehow composed."
"It's about the space between takes, where confidence meets uncertainty and elegance meets the unexpected. Daisy Nic's styling blends high fashion with hints of costume, creating looks that feel both aspirational and slightly surreal. The waiting room becomes a kind of stage, where no one quite knows what comes next.
