Young photographer Daisy McMullen loves nothing more than Tassie through her lens between coffee with friends.
Where do you live and what do you love about it?
Residing on the Eastern Shore means we’re spoiled with mountain views, access to a selection of beaches, walking and mountain bike trails, as well as close proximity to Richmond and wineries. What’s not to love?
What’s the best thing about Hobart?
The variety! The amount of activities, events and experiences within the city is staggering. If you know where to look, there’s something to make everyone happy.
And the worst?
Infrastructure in and around the CBD, predominantly lacking in accommodating for our growing tourism industry.
Why do you stay here?
As someone that loves outdoor adventure as well as the city living, Hobart has the best of both worlds. Having my family and friends close by also means a lot to me.
Developing as a photographer in Tasmania has its difficulties, however plentiful opportunities are growing every year with more businesses, markets and seasonal festivities emerging and taking root.
Tell us a little bit about your work?
From shooting nature, food and events, the intention of my photography is to reflect the individuality of Tasmania in conjunction with the businesses and personalities that thrive here. Hobart has so much on offer and I love nothing more than working to promote our quirks to locals and visitors alike.
Where’s your favourite eatery?
For special occasions Frank Restaurant on the waterfront is great for indulging, and early Sunday mornings at Small Fry on Bathurst St with the farmers market practically outside the door, which makes for the perfect weekend finale.
Where do you head for a coffee?
Shake a Leg Jr. in Moonah is my favourite. A warm nook with remarkable service and dependable delicious coffee
Favourite Hobart secret?
There is always something happening, you need only know where to look.
Which team?
I’m afraid I don’t have one!
And outside of work?
My weekends are spent having coffee with friends, sunny motorbike rides, Tip Shop trawling, adventures around the state and catching up on reading (currently re-reading The Name of the Wind, utterly gorgeous).
A quote to live and die by?
Worrying means you suffer twice. In all honestly I don’t always adhere to this advice!
