BTS: GEORGINI JEWELLERY CAMPAIGN SHOOT

WORDS BY NFC STUDENT, SIENNA SPAGNOL

I am halfway through my year at National Fashion College, and I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful opportunities they have provided me. One standout experience was helping out on the Georgini jewellery shoot at Red Leaf with Celebrity Fashion Stylist Jamie Azzopardi, an incredibly hard worker with an outstanding work ethic.

A team of six, including myself, worked diligently to capture stunning imagery for the newest Georgini Jewellery campaign, “Sydney Soirée.” Our gorgeous model, Vlada Didenko from Ukraine, wore beautiful wedding gowns from Lili Marcs, with her hair and makeup expertly done by the talented Jaclyn Hnitko. The amazing photos were captured by Hayden Buchanan, with assistance from his fiancée, Cristina O’Gorman. Incidentally, they are getting married in Bowral, which is where I grew up—small world! They are such a sweet and hard-working couple.

Of course, the head stylist Jamie played a crucial role, crafting these amazing photos by selecting the looks and matching jewellery. Everyone worked seamlessly together to create a beautiful campaign. My role involved dressing the model and completing inventory. This shoot was incredibly fun to work on; everyone was so nice, and I have created new connections and friends through these opportunities.

Thanks to NFC, I am now working with Jamie on other shoots as well, which I feel very fortunate for. I am so grateful to NFC and Jamie for taking a chance on me and providing such amazing experiences.
