Born in the UK, Jody Pachniuk and his family relocated to the west coast of Australia in the mid 80s, where his passion for cinematography was born. "My Uncle and Auntie have always worked in the media. As a kid, my brother and I would sneak into their storage room at the advertising agency they ran and be amazed by some of the props they had collected over the years," he teals us, continuing: "From early on, being in the media seemed like lots of fun. When I finished school I enrolled in Film and TV at university and really enjoyed making pictures and learning my craft. After a few years of assisting I chose fashion as something I really wanted to explore." As many of his peers the possibility to play freely with narrative and character was what attracted him to the genre.
Although making his debut under the Ben Trovato umbrella earlier this year with a beautiful story in our diary, it is today he is officially stepping into the limelight with his Against The Sky story featuring young starlet Courtney Eaton, who just finished shooting Mad Max with other stars such as Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. We caught up with the photographer and asked him a few questions about his story shot in Cottelsoe, Perth.
