• Every Kind Of Way - The Jungle Giants (music video)Costume design and styling for The Jungle Giants - Every Kind of Way
• A Powerful WomanIn 2019 my sister, Abbie Chatfield was a contestant on The Bachelor Australia. The general public's response to her portrayal focused on her sexuality and youth as negative attributes. Abbie was receiving hundreds of death threats and bullying messages on social media every day during airing. Abbie is much more than her "ample assets" (as described by The Daily Mail) and so we decided to take some photos that celebrate, yes her beauty, youth and sexuality, but also her strength, power and vulne
• UN-PERFECT for FrockPaperScissorsCreative direction, casting and styling for Frock Paper Scissors magazine. I also wrote an accompanying article about radical body positivity and the importance of un-doing society's expectations of "palatable body positivity" which you can read on my website: www.joliechatfield.com
• Feel The Way I Do - The Jungle Giants (music video)After being asked to work as costume designer on this music clip, I was stoked to receive a brief that required me to create "the crappiest astronaut you've ever seen" as well as "a packing box and shag carpet, come to life".

• Bring It All Back - Leanne Tennant (music video)Director Jennifer Embleton enlisted my help as Production Designer on this music video for UK/Australian musician Leanne Tennant. Working to a tight budget of AUD$100 for all sets, I was able to create 3 scenes entirely from found, borrowed, and thrifted items.
• Cloud 9A photoshoot put together with the help of my three beautiful models - Jess, Chloe and Tofu the cat. I wanted to create a sort of 90's Fiorucci angel vibe while maintaining a modern quirkiness with the poppies sprouting from the clouds. Photography, set design, and styling by me.

Since 2015 I have worked as a costume designer, set designer and art director on music videos and short films. This has truly taught me the value of open communication, creative problem solving and negotiation while working within tight budgets and time frames. When hired as a costume or production designer, I have often undertaken additional roles where needed such as location scouting, casting, unit, make up, runner, etc. If you would like to see examples of my costume and production design work, please head to www.joliechatfield.com
