Product & Flat Lay Photography Palmers Australia commissioned me to shoot product and flat lay photography – a collection of 20 images for their international advertising platforms. The brief included both styling and photographing the bath and beauty products, which came very naturally to me because their branding style aligns closely with my own lifestyle – tropical, natural and fresh. “Alicia is a delight to work with – efficient, a great communicator and the quality of her work speaks for itself. We’re so excited to use her images across our Australian and global digital campaigns in the coming months.” -Emma Clark | Digital, Content, Community & Communications Executive at Palmers Posting The Products For The Photo Shoot Palmers sent me a package of around 20 different products from their range of beauty and bath products. I was given full creative control to style and arrange the products however I thought would work best visually, within the brief and branding guidelines. This made it very easy for my client, as they could simply post the goods to me without having to put any additional time and energy into the photography. Pre-Production Before the shoot I sat down […] Read More
Eco Photographer An interview of ethically focussed photographer, Alicia Fox in Muse Magazine Australia’s newest magazine for inspiration, self-help and culture, featured an interview about my work as an eco photographer. The article explores my journey from being a teenager driven to fulfil my dreams of travel and photography, to the journey that entailed, learning about what is really important to me and utilising my profession to work towards a better world. As you can read below, photography has taken me around the globe, discovering incredible cultures and learning from some of the most ancient and untouched peoples in the world today. These lessons are priceless and I am extremely grateful for the journey thus far. Being an eco photographer and living a sustainable lifestyle in both my professional and personal life is something extremely important to me, and something that I’ve written about in previous blog posts. My work with indigenous groups and NGOs around the world has contributed to this greatly. Once visiting these places and sitting to talk with the people effected by climate change, corporate greed, environmental destruction and so on, it’s impossible to turn a blind eye and un-care. Everyone can make […] Read More

Yoga photography shoot in Crescent Head, Mid North Coast NSW. Yoga Photography marries two of my greatest passions. We did this styled photo shoot on our property in Crescent Head. Bringing our own lives into the shoot made it simple and a lot of fun. I have been practicing yoga for 17 years…exactly half of my life. It has been on and off over the years but these days I find yoga such an important part of my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. I can’t imagine ever going without it again. It has also lead me to great friends, beautiful destinations and amazing experiences. I am so grateful for my weekly yoga meet up with my good friends. We practice an hour of yoga each Sunday morning, followed by half an hour of meditation. Afterwards we share a pot (I mean a five litre pot) of chai, with plates fruit and nuts. It is a sacred part of every week for me. I’m also doing two classes a week at The Yoga Shala in Port Macquarie. These photos are from a recent shoot I did for I am That Yoga, a yoga […] Read More
I had the pleasure of photographing a professional portrait for Karen Archer last week in Port Macquarie. I set up my studio in Karen’s clinic and had a great time chatting and shooting in a casual, comfortable style. I first met Karen through the Hastings Business Womens Network (HBWN), which is a Port Macquarie based women’s networking group with an array of fantastic social and professional events. Karen is the President and Spokesperson for the group. She is also a Naturopath, Herbalist, Nutritionist and Iridologist, and through her business is committed to improving quality of life and health. I have been lucky enough to attend one of her evening talks and walked away with a great insight into the way the body works and how to improve my own vitality. Karen was delighted with the results from the shoot, which made me a very happy photographer. If you are looking for a portrait photographer because you are in need of a profile picture for your website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other social media or print, please get in contact with me. In today’s world, our online profile photos are so important. Although we are taught not to “judge a […] Read More
After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. My love for tea began on the beaches of Sri Lanka where I drank sweet, milky black tea because it was easier to come by than clean drinking water. Living in Japan, I gained a deep respect for green tea and sacred Japanese tea traditions. In Latin America, I learned about the medicinal benefits of an endless variety of herbal infusions. I have a thing for tea. Half of my kitchen shelves are allocated to food, the other half to teas and herbal “tea” blends. I appreciate the variety of textures, tastes, colours and aromas, as well as the healing effects of each different blend. So you can imagine how much fun I had photographing these images. All blends were lovingly created by Amber at T Totaler. “Tea” includes black, green and white tea from the (Camellia sinensis) plant. “Herbal infusions” are beverages that are prepared by adding herbs to hot water, usually between 70-100 degrees celsius.

Just because you live in Inner City Sydney, doesn’t mean you can’t live out your eco homesteading dreams. I do my best to be as green as possible in every aspect of my life, from growing my own organic vegetables to living in a chemical free home. I do what is best for our environment, which includes what is best for my own health. After all, we humans are part of the eco system too. The Kitchen Above 1. Each Sunday I walk down to Addison Road Markets in Marrickille, to buy my chemical-free fruit and veges (my own garden is only 2 months old so just produces salad greens so far). I talk to the stall owners to find out about that week’s produce. The delicious, gluten free bread is freshly made by the lovely folks at Common Ground, a commune not far from Sydney. 2. My first crop of (giant) home grown mushrooms. They were the sweetest mushrooms I’ve ever eaten. 3. My seeds, nuts and dried foods come from Alfalfa House Co-op (Enmore), my favourite place to shop. The stock is as organic, local and ethically produced as possible. I love the co-op so much that I volunteer […] Read More
Being an Eco Photographer means reducing the environmental impact of every aspect of my business, and working with (i.e. producing photos for) clients that have a positive impact on the environment. I was trying to formulate an explanation as to why I’ve decided to be an “Eco Photographer” and what this actually means. Then one day three things happened to me and I became so impassioned that I did what anyone would do… I got on my soapbox (i.e. my personal Facebook wall) and shared what I was feeling with my friends and family. I received such an overwhelmingly supportive response that I decided to include my little story on this blog. It gives you an idea of how I live my personal life, which crosses over into my business life. So here it is: I don’t often put unhappy things on Facebook but I feel the need to share this today It has 3 parts, and hopefully is inspiring: 1. James came home and told me, with a smile, that he had a song stuck in his head all day, the song of some beautiful girls from the Ashaninka tribe we stayed with by Ene River, in […] Read More
