Vaughan Brookfield, The Daily Loaf (ADVERTISING & FASHION 2025)

Photographed at Ayrburn’s soon-to-open Bakehouse in Queenstown, this image is part of a series created just before the venue launched. With the space not yet open to the public, we built and styled scenes to capture the feeling of what’s to come. The focus lands firmly on the loaf, and for good reason. Crusty, golden, and still warm, it reflects the care and craft behind every bake. Just behind, the baker’s smile brings a quiet joy to the frame, offering not just bread, but a moment of connection. It’s a simple gesture, full of heart, in a space made to be shared.
