Hi, I’m Tayla—the photographer and slightly chaotic creative behind Brush & Shutter 💙💜

I have a Bachelor of Creative Arts in Digital Media and Criminology, over five years of photography experience and a background spanning design, marketing, web development, fashion and set creation. Brush & Shutter became the place where I could bring all those interests together and turn the strange little worlds in my head into something real.

For a long time, though, both my brand and wardrobe stayed hidden behind black, beige and “safe.” I realised I wasn’t dressing like myself—I was dressing for depression and the version of me that wanted to disappear.

So, this is my brighter, bolder and slightly weirder era. I’m not leaving the alternative black-cat girl behind; I’m simply letting her have more fun.

It’s time to stop dressing to disappear and start dressing like me. 💙✨ taken in Brisbane, Queensland by @brush.and.shutter

Loved this look so much it deserved a second post. 🤍✨

Natalie Hamblin is a designer I love photographing, and I’m still not finished sharing this piece from the Island Haus runway. The layers of white, dramatic shoulders and movement gave me so many frames to choose from—one post was never going to be enough.

Another moment for the design, the details and Shante bringing it all to life. 📸

One post of Natalie Hamblin’s designs was never going to be enough. 🤍✨

She’s a designer I love photographing, and this gown from the Island Haus runway gave me even more reason to keep sharing. The cascading ruffles, delicate lace and layers of white reveal something different with every step and I love capturing those details as they move.

Another moment for Natalie’s work and @kekecreativeco bringing this look to life. 📸

Some designs make you look twice and Natalie Hamblin’s work is always on that list for me. 🤍

I love how her designs use texture and shape to create something that feels bold, even in an all-white look. The layers, dramatic shoulders and movement in this piece gave me so much to capture at the Island Haus runway.

As a photographer, it’s exciting to see how a garment changes with each step: the silhouette, the way the light catches the details, and those brief moments when everything falls into place. This was one of those looks I wanted to keep photographing. ✨

A runway moment worth catching from behind 🌺✨

Malan at Island Haus, with artwork that deserves a closer look. A striking portrait, vibrant florals and golden flourishes spread across the denim, making the turn at the end of the runway a moment of its own.

Swipe for the details — I couldn’t leave these out 💜

Malan bringing the details to the Island Haus runway ✨

Bold floral artwork, sculptural sleeves and a golden headpiece that frames the whole look beautifully. There’s so much to take in, but that gaze holds its own.

One of my favourite things about photographing runway is capturing the smaller details alongside the energy of the walk 💜

Denim, florals and a whole lot of attitude 🌺✨

Another moment from Malan at the Island Haus runway. Rich reds and bright greens bring this denim look to life, with sheer layering and an asymmetric hem adding to its edge.

Loved capturing how the whole look came together in motion 💜

The first thing I noticed was how confidently she carried this look. Then I started seeing all the details.

The wide sleeves floated as she walked, the gold trim caught the light, and the necklace gave the whole design a strong focal point. Even the small flower in her hair had its place. I loved how Ollymacs brought so many elements together while letting the model’s presence shine through.

Some designs make you want to get closer, and this was one of them.

From the side, I caught the layers of flowers, ribbon and gold. From the front, the pearl strands framed her face and changed the whole feel of the look. It was such a beautiful piece to photograph because each angle held another detail.

I don’t know the story Olga had in mind for this design yet, but I’d love to hear it. That’s the thing about her work: it leaves you curious.

This one felt like watching a flower open on the runway 🤍
At first, I was drawn to the shape of the headpiece. Then she turned, and the petals across the skirt began to move with her. Every step showed a different side of the design: soft and delicate, but impossible to miss.
That’s what I love about photographing Ollymacs. There’s always more to discover once a piece is in motion.
