At first glance, the 'Bird is the Word' portfolio looked entirely sketched. Upon closer inspection, however, this is in fact a mixed-media series that combines photography and illustration. Beautifully whimsical (and slightly disturbing), it is definitely a must-see editorial.
Photographed by Ashley Champagne, 'Bird is the Word' was also illustrated by Cordelia Chan, styled by Kyla Kazeil and Stacey Boruk, and produced by Nathan Marshall. Makeup artist Nicola Gavins worked on the models, Ashley and Eri. This concept was put together for Georgie Magazine.
