Victoria Zschlommler

PHOTOGRAPHER

While being trained by some of the industry’s best in London, working predominately in fashion, Zschlommler discovered her love for still-life photography and now likes to merge the two. This issue, she worked on a number of stories. “I loved the collaborative process we had on one of our shoot days,” she says about ‘Screen Siren’, a piece on the comeback of the room divider (page 46). “It was quite organic, as we were shooting with an incoming tide and a pricey Gucci number!” She also dealt with natural elements for the lighting feature (page 43), where the location was in a humid glasshouse at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Garden. Her work is also in our cruise special, ‘Fantastic Voyages’. Inspiration comes from many sources. “It could be the brushstrokes of Giorgio Morandi, or in the works of Irving Penn, a retro cookbook or a beautifully made film,” she says. Next on the agenda is launching an online gallery with pieces for sale. victoriazschommler.com @victoriazschommler
