RUSSH Magazine; Musician Emerson Snowe on self-doubt, creative independence and trusting his instincts.

Following his recent performance at Oxford Art Factory, photographer Lilli Boisselet and singer-songwriter Emerson Snowe (Jarrod Mahon) talk life after winning the Levi’s Music Prize at Bigsound 2018 and his pre-show Patti Smith ritual. Can you talk about your songwriting process …Everything with this project has been trusting my first instincts … When I first started writing was when I stopped drinking three years ago – that first week was the first EP that just came out now. I have about 350 tracks privately on Soundcloud right now. It was when I was listening to a lot of French pop and using that nylon guitar, everything is so simple with that, and the melodies are like lullaby melodies with repetition, and the repetition of the drums … I’m just obsessed with documenting, so all these songs are like diaries, journal entries … Being a solo performer – being independent, having no pressure from a band, or anyone else – it’s so cool because I think I’m already doing this, I’m already doing these diary entries, so when people come on board and say they’re psyched by it, I think, “Well I have to keep going, I have to do this”.

VOGUE Magazine; Photographer Lilli Boisselet shares tender portraits of life in Indigenous communities in Cape York and Arnhem Land

So often, these creative media help to portray what is left unsaid and serve as a universal language through which we can connect, emote and transform. One such creative whose work is underlined by this potential is photographer Lilli Boisselet, whose imagery from the local protests in Sydney in the the wake of George Floyd’s murder first captured the attention of Vogue. In October 2019, Boisselet travelled to Cape York in Queensland and Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. While there, the photographer documented life as she observed it for Red Earth, whose mission is focussed on furthering reconciliation by welcoming people (especially school kids) to remote Indigenous Homelands where they can learn from local communities. Here, she reflects back on a formative time of listening, learning and lensing the Indigenous communities she met with and the special memories each photograph evokes. Read here.

RUSSH Magazine; Behind the scenes: Shooting our ‘New Faces’ for the Joy Issue.

It was a Thursday in October, forecasted to rain yet destined for sunshine. Almost as though mother nature gave us a warm smile and a knowing wink, the morning transformed into the perfect backdrop to shoot our last ‘New Faces’ of 2020, for none other than the Joy Issue. They arrived just how we love to see them, simply as they are: bare faced, in sweats, jeans, perfectly worn in sneakers and their favourite band tee. The time ordinarily dedicated to sitting in a hair and make up chair was spent choosing the right playlist, slipping into the dreamiest Christopher Esber swimmers and diving straight in. Who was first to jump? Akira. To the sounds of none other than Lochie himself, who's song 'I Don't Know' has been on repeat ever since. Photographer and filmmaker Lilli Boisselet captures the moments from the day on location with Akira, Jade, Lochie and Patricia.

FASHION JOURNAL Magazine; Fresh Faces of Australian Music.

Making it as a musician in 2020 isn’t a linear process; it’s full of ups and downs, ambiguity and, oftentimes, a lot of frustration. Photographer Lilli Boisselet had the chance to shoot some of these up-and-coming talents and get some insight into how they’ve navigated their careers so far. Here’s the wisdom they had to share. “My career has always revolved around music. I’ve tried a lot of different pathways, but I’ve always come back to the song. I feel like a lot of people can relate to this – trying to avoid something that seems like such a big, daunting task, but something keeps drawing you back to it. It’s that human desire that compels me to keep going, to keep creating. How does it feel to be on stage and share personal moments with strangers? At the start, it was definitely confronting. But now that I’ve gotten used to it, it feels really good, in a cathartic sense, to just sing from the heart. Sharing some of the raw emotions and raw energies that were captured in time in the past. I do really enjoy being on stage. I feel like it unleashes a whole different side of me.” Read here.
