Miss Bossy Boots turns the camera on themselves to create ISO self portraits

For co-owners of Miss Bossy Boots, Veronica and Garry Moore, it was important that the MBB community remain connected, engaged and creative during this period of isolation. Equally important was the opportunity to share real and inspiring work with their clients and the wider community.

Miss Bossy Boots artists are a tight knit team, many having collaborated together for years on set. Even though it was not possible to work together in person, through collaborative phone and zoom meetings the faces of MBB was created. A series of self portraits of MBB artists which share an insight into their stay at home worlds with you.

Miss Bossy Boots artists continue to work remotely and safely on projects during this time. MBB is a dynamic photographic production agency representing creative photographers, stylists and hair and makeup artists. The agency works with prestigious companies on national and international advertising and branding campaigns.

Producer and company director Veronica Moore was shot by her partner in life and business Garry Moore. Her portrait is hopeful, and inspired by the lotus flower whose beauty blooms out of its muddy waters.

An avid rock-climber, Garry’s strong connection with the natural environment is central to this image. Referencing the painting “The Madonna of Port Lilgat” by surrealist Salvador Dali, this portrait explores both physical and mental ideas of self.

Stylist Philip Boons self portrait is from his series ‘The Daily Boon, Pyjama looks in isolation.’ About this particular image Boon says: “Melbourne is grey today so I was inspired to create a monochromatic vibe. I love chatting to family & friends on the phone, although this 1960’s telephone probably doesn’t have FaceTime…
