2026 MENTOR: CIERAN MURPHY   Cieran Murphy is an architectural photographer with over a decade of experience working across Australia and internationally. Now based in Sydney, his practice focuses on creating considered, atmospheric imagery that captures the intent, craft and lived quality of architecture. Cieran works closely with architects, designers and brands to photograph projects often shaped by complex constraints, tight timelines, sensitive sites, or buildings photographed in isolation from their intended context. His approach is collaborative and detail-driven, balancing technical precision with a strong editorial sensibility. With a background in shooting both contemporary projects and legacy buildings of architectural merit, Cieran’s work is defined by restraint, clarity and an ability to distil complex spaces into quietly compelling images.   Head to our website to discover more about our Mentorship Program and  @cieranmurphy to see more of his incredible work. #Photography #mentoring #emergingphotographers #ImageMakersAssociaitionAustralia

Jewellery is revealed gradually through integrated drawers and curated moments, creating a sense of discovery that unfolds slowly and intentionally. The experience is tactile and personal, designed to be savoured rather than rushed. Love Isabelle Boutique, Manly. Pictures @cieranmurphy Joinery @east2eastjoinery

Garden House by Pandolfini Architects Architectural statement: Garden House is a layered architectural intervention that delicately extends a historic home and garden in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It is a study in contrast and continuity - a heritage home respectfully restored, a sculptural addition quietly embedded, and a subterranean world revealed through light, material and craft. The new addition, while bold and sculptural, presents as a quiet companion to the original house. Rather than competing with the past, most of the architectural intervention descends below ground, creating space without erasing history.

The beautiful apartment of @giovannoni.tian / @lilly_tian - Milan Italy - 2026 A luminous 60 sqm apartment in Milan’s Navigli, reimagined by Lilly Tian & Lorenzo Giovannoni. Light, marble, and oak converge in a dialogue between Milanese heritage and contemporary restraint. Rich, nostalgic, warm, and contemporary, all together! A pleasure to spend a few nights there on my recent trip to Italy. Feat on @ad_italia
