Description

Akila Berjaoui's incredibly sensual photographs often feature sand, sun, water-or a combination of all three. In her first book, this highly sought-after fashion photographer, armed with her favourite old analogue cameras, takes us to breathtaking seaside locations, from her hometown of Sydney, Australia, to the bathing hotspots of Italy, France, and Brazil, to name just a few. Much in the tradition of Slim Arons, Bruce Weber, Peter Beard, Claude Nori, and Juergen Teller-all of whom she regards as influences on her work-Berjaoui's photos harken back to the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s with their soft colours and sultry joie de vivre. As a woman, Berjaoui is able to draw out her female subjects with a sense of kinship, rather than voyeurism. One of the world's most in-demand photographers, Akila Berjaoui is destined to make a name for herself in the field of travel, beauty, and lifestyle photography. AUTHOR: Akila Berjaoui first entered the world of fashion photography as an intern for RUSSH, a cult fashion magazine in Australia. Now she travels the world on assignments for major fashion labels and magazines, working with the world's top models. She calls Sydney, Australia, her home. 220 colour illustrations

We had the pleasure of working with Amanda for our families new build. We had confidence and trust in Amanda which allowed us to look outside our comfort zone of design and we are so pleased we did. Amanda’s service to us as clients and her attention to detail are second to none.

Michael & Jillian Cameron

Thank you, Amanda. We now have a home that we are proud of – it’s unique, it makes the most of the natural beauty around us and most of all, it feels like our home. We could never have come up with the ideas on our own but even if we could, your access to the products we needed was invaluable. Now, when someone says, ‘Wow, where did you get that from?’, it makes us feel good, but we also have no hesitation in telling them it was Amanda, from Gather and Place.

Ken & Vicki Bourke

As first time renovators we were quite overwhelmed with what came along with the task, so we decided that we would enlist the help of Amanda. From start to finish Amanda was there to guide us through what would need to be done and the best options for us to have our dream home. Amanda did a truly amazing job and we would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to renovate or design their dream home as well.
