It’s been 3 years since I made the announcement that the model Dragonfly was the Skadi Jewellery Design Ambassador. Already ridiculously talented as a model, photographer and concept designer, Gui has since upskilled to professional make-up artist as well! She displays all of her incredible skills in the Winter Sprite photoshoot taken recently for the upcoming Christmas season and featuring the Falling Snow jewellery range.
Collaboration with Photographer, Make-Up Artist & Model Dragonfly
I’ve been collaborating with Gui (model Dragonfly) for 5 years now! And every shoot is a surprise and delight. From demons to snow queens, vampires to fauns, I can always trust Gui to come up with and execute an amazing concept. I feel guilty that all I have to do is make the jewellery.
Working with someone you’ve never met in person on the other side of the world should probably be daunting. But I say it can’t hurt to try! What if you find someone with matching ideals and aesthetics but a completely unique perspective? You might create something extraordinary together! Of course remember to do your homework before sending off all your worldly goods, but be open to new opportunities.
Dragonfly also works with some other amazing brands so be sure to check out her full catalogue.
Winter Sprite
If you’ve perused the gallery page of this website or you’re already familiar with Dragonfly’s work, you already know how versatile and creative she can be. What you may not see without looking more closely is her ingenuity. I was absolutely delighted to find out she had put together the entire Winter Sprite photoshoot in less than a day in Portugal while I was sleeping in Australia. How is this possible you wonder? To achieve the right Winter ambience Dragonfly used some of her Christmas decorations as props as well as in her make-up and hair. Admittedly she has very tasteful decorations, but being told that after viewing a stunning piece of editorial photography made me very happy. And it won’t surprise you to hear then that she also decorated her entire house from floor to ceiling. I believe the feature colour is silver, as it should be.
In this shoot Dragonfly models the Falling Snow range of hand pierced silver snowflake necklace, earrings and ring.
