Megan mckean spends the day with sony

Hello! I’m Megan Mckean, a designer/illustrator/author/maker in Sydney. My label, Mckean Studio, focuses on making contemporary souvenirs celebrating cities all around the world. I’m an obsessive documenter, and I love having snaps of different projects and points in time to look back on. My social media is a mixture of travel photos – places I’ve been and seen that are super colourful or inspiring! – product photos, and work-in-progress snaps. Spending the day with the Sony RX100 V, I love how light and pocketable the camera is. It’s nice and small to take for a wander and use discreetly – no big lenses to get in the way! The selfie countdown when the flip screen mode is enabled is also fun. I love finding a mini-video from a point in time I’d forgotten about, so having a nice quality video option on the camera alongside the stills is great. The RX100 V is a premium compact camera from Sony, designed to create beautiful images and videos on the go, in all sorts of situations. It’s got super-fast auto focus and a 180-degree flip screen, plus Sony’s high-resolution image sensor. It loves taking premium stills and 4K video. sony.com.au/premiumcompact

3:00PM The first samples of our new scarves just arrived, so we’re checking the colours and quality from my original illustrations. Spoiler: they’ve turned out supercute. The RX100 V’s excellent image quality showcases vibrant colours and fine details.

9:45AM It’s so fun seeing your work in the wild! Last year I designed this little cherry pie print for Daisy’s, and they got it screen-printed on t-shirts available from the cafe.

11:30AM One of my newest projects is creating a flock of Australian birds. Life-size and hand-painted with lots of tiny details as an homage to our feathered native friends.

4:00PM A necessary evil of the weekend: the grocery run. Our supermarket recently had a facelift with this cute mural that always makes me smile. Wine and pizza time tonight!
