SONY X FRANKIE
megan mckean spends the day with sony
Hello! I’m Megan McKean, a designer/illustrator/author/maker in Sydney. My label, McKean Studio, focuses on
making contemporary souvenirs celebrating cities all around the world. I’m an obsessive documenter, and I love
having snaps of different projects and points in time to look back on. My social media is a mixture of travel photos- places I’ve been and seen that are super colourful or inspiring! – product photos, and work-in-progress snaps.
Spending the day with the Sony RX100 V, I love how light and pocketable the camera is. It’s nice and small to take
for a wander and use discreetly – no big lenses to get in the way! The selfie countdown when the flip screen mode
is enabled is also fun. I love finding a mini-video from a point in time I’d forgotten about, so having a nice quality
video option on the camera alongside the stills is great.
The RX100 V is a premium compact camera from Sony, designed to
create beautiful images and videos on the go, in all sorts of situations.
It’s got super-fast auto focus and a 180-degree flip screen, plus Sony’s
high-resolution image sensor. It loves taking premium stills and 4K
video. sony.com.au/premiumcompact9:45AM It’s so fun seeing your work in the wild! Last year I designed this little
cherry pie print for Daisy’s, and they got it screen-printed on t-shirts available
from the cafe.
11:30AM One of my newest projects is creating a flock of Australian birds.
Life-size and hand-painted with lots of tiny details as an homage to our
feathered native friends.4:00PM A necessary evil of the weekend: the grocery run. Our supermarket
recently had a facelift with this cute mural that always makes me smile. Wine and
pizza time tonight!3:00PM The first samples of our new scarves just arrived, so we’re checking the
colours and quality from my original illustrations. Spoiler: they’ve turned out super-
cute. The RX100 V’s excellent image quality showcases vibrant colours and fine details.
