Album artwork and photography for Michelle Velvin
Michelle Velvin is a Wellington based harpist, composer and teacher, and in 2026 she was preparing to release her first solo album To Let the Light In. I was honoured to be asked to collaborate with Michelle on her album cover design. We worked closely together on a variety of different styles and treatments. Her music was the ultimate source of inspiration: the sonic landscape pulled us in the visual direction of forests, grottos, light, whispers and magic.
The concept soon evolved into a whimsical photography shoot that we did together in Trelissick Park at the end of June. I found some small doors that would be perfect for hiding in nooks and crannies of a forest floor, and my husband helped me paint them a warm yellow that matched Michelle's front door and mailbox. With a couple of lights, my Nikon and our cold weather gear, Michelle and I were soon crouching down in the mud and arranging twigs and leaves to create compositions that felt like discovering a warm little musical secret. It was a fun day getting our hands dirty in the name of art and I am so proud of the images we created together for her first album.
"To Let the Light In" was released 2 October 2026 on Oro Records.

The music video follows a long series
of animated mirrors, frames and paintings
that portray the two protagonists.
Being lovers, they chase each other's reflection while fleeing a threatening presence that stalks them frame by frame, trying to scare them. Every time theyget close to reuniting, the threats forces them apart again, pulling them into new paintings, new versions of themselves.
In the end, one of the lovers dies.
The moment dissolves into metaphorical imagery — a flower blooming with blood, cracked glass,
and other symbolic visuals — before the video closes on the surviving lover left alone in an empty frame.
