Our guest today is Victoria Zschommler, a still-life, fashion and beauty photographer, who has shot for Dior, Chanel, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Bulgari, and Burberry (just to name drop a few). She has spent a significant part of her incredible career working abroad, but now resides in Northern NSW with her young family.
In today's episode, we chat with Vic about growing up by the steel benchtops of her father's Brisbane restaurant in the 90s, her favourite German dishes, working in high-fashion photography in Paris (Um, hello, Chanel?!) and how she developed her distinct creative eye, plus her newfound love for rockpools.
Victoria also shares her thoughts on juggling family life with a creative career, sharing her notes on motherhood and how to find balance, especially when you work for yourself. Vic's message is that parenting isn't a one-size-fits-all scenario—forging your own path that's true to you is what it's all about. Oh, and remembering to be nice to yourself. Always.
