Icon Magazine Australia: Time Trawler

Jan 2023

Time Trawler is a sharp product editorial for Icon Magazine Australia that explores the intersection of precision horology and rugged maritime textures. By nestling luxury timepieces among organic coastal elements—such as dark mussel shells, barnacle clusters, and fishing nets—the series channels a moody, high-contrast aesthetic that highlights the metallic sheen of each watch against raw, weathered surroundings. Photographer Michael Brunt and fashion stylist Kim Payne lean into a deliberate juxtaposition, pairing the sleek, manufactured forms of chronographs with found objects like rope, bait, and tide-worn stones. The execution utilises low-key lighting and macro-style framing to draw out the intricate details of the dials and bezels, resulting in a cohesive visual study that feels both tactile and cinematic.
