Georgia Fowler is floating on a wooden raft in the shallows off Fiji’s Nanuku beachfront resort. This is her happy place: at the beach, under the sun, and in front of the camera. With photographer Nicole Bentley’s lens pointed directly at her, Fowler ever so slightly lifts her chin and stares intently at the horizon. That’s it. That’s the shot.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that Fowler is a natural before the camera. The now 30-year-old was first scouted at age 12, she signed with IMG Models at 14, and began travelling the world for shoots and runway shows during the school holidays soon after. She’s worked with Miu Miu, Prada, Chanel and Yeezy, and graced the once-coveted Victoria’s Secret catwalk three years in a row. For a Kiwi, us Aussies are quick to claim Fowler as one of our own. She’s even been compared to Australia’s most iconic model, Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson.
