SIDE-NOTE is a platform that tells stories of style and substance, merging the gap between contemporary culture and fashion.
With a focus on photography and film, we celebrate the creative mind, the independent spirit and people with purpose.
We publish quality editorial and branded content. Our themed editions allow for thoughtful consideration of what is happening now. With uninhibited creative output as king, we champion our artistic community to perpetuate meaningful narratives and present new ideas that are representative of our time.
SIDE-NOTE PROJECTS – may the best idea win. We work with best-of-breed collaborators to deliver and publish work that is both beautiful and results driven. Rejecting a typical advertising model in favour of content production, SIDE-NOTE acts as a trusted conduit between creator and client.

There are those who stopped coming by the altar, and instead, took the ability to be one’s most genuine or essential self as their prevailing moral compass. Steph Carta found the altar worth visiting is in the stillness, in the centremost of your soul.
An audacious haircut has repeatedly played catalyst to unchartered career opportunities and, for some, even personal growth. Nicole Bentley And Rosie Tupper ring in Edition No. 6, GOING PLACES, with 'The Chop'.
Farmland hugs the cliffs that wrap and wind their way around the impending shore. Your nostrils are greeted with the distinct, rare blend of cow manure and sun-dried seaweed. The breeze picks up and you know you’re home. Photographer Michael Brunt explores the blueprint of identity in 'A Place To Call Home'.
“... please tell
us where the slope inclines and can be climbed;
for he who best discerns the worth of time
is most distressed whenever time is lost.”
Isaac Brown breaks the fourth wall to understand the shoot behind the shoot, the look behind the look and the meaning behind the ideas that form from our own perspectives.
An idea can deliver clarity where once the world, or instance, felt overwhelmingly opaque. To possess an idea is to possess a torch, deliverance from mundanity, inequity, apathy or looming deadline. Australian photographer Michael Comninus considers the role of light in the evolution of his aesthetic with Egyptian model Leila Greiss.
Sans makeup and social media Claude Scott-Mitchell is a clean break from the standard code of conduct for someone of her age and vocation, opting to express herself through character arc rather than publicise her private moments. JAN LOGAN’s newest collaborator is quietly chartering her own path to greatness. Dan Roberts shoots Australian actress, Claude Scott-Mitchell.
Ziggy Ramo recorded his year-defining album, Black Thoughts, in 2015 — but he held on to it for five years, told by the music industry that an Australian public so in denial about their own racist past (and present) couldn’t handle its contents. On May 25th, as a global race reckoning began to take shape, he uploaded the album in full —it’s gone on to be dubbed the most important Australian album of 2020. Grace O'Neill spends an hour in conversation with the magnanimous rapper.
Every day we find ourselves moulding - at times, physically, it’s to bend and break to meet expectations. Other times, it’s an expression of emotional architecture, constructing our personalities around an evolving landscape of social interactions.
