Surrounded by lush greenery and pastel vibes, this whimsical scene feels straight out of a daydream. The subject’s playful yet pensive pose, paired with the vintage mint-green telephone and a crown of blooming flowers, creates a surreal mix of nostalgia and fantasy. Set in a bubble-filled tub, it’s equal parts quirky and serene.
This image is featured in The Melbourne Portraits Project: A Photographic Ode, a photo book celebrating the stories and creative spirit of Melbourne, available on my website (link below). The project invites you to explore moments like this—fleeting, layered, and deeply human—through the lens of artistry and emotion.
