Burnt Breakfast Tell All
If you follow us on instagram and have been seeing the “Burnt Breakfast x Princess Polly” images, you may have been wondering, “WTF is ‘Burnt Breakfast?’”
In a nutshell, it's the name of the crazy-rad creative couple— Pixi & Jesse— who we teamed up with last week to bring you our Polly the Label Valentines Day lookbook, Heart Break Hotel. Pixi is a Balinese/Australian fashion photographer and her other half, Jesse, does the videography and creative direction.
In the cutest little interview ever, they share the story behind the name 'Burnt Breakfast', dish on creative inspiration, and give us their best love advice.

What is the story behind Burnt Breakfast? When did you guys start doing creative shoots together, and how did the name come about? We first started working as a team for a friends label with Jesse filming and I photographing, with our talents put together we soon realised that our creativity and vision combined was something that clicked very quickly. After a few drinks one night and much discussion we came to the conclusion that everyone likes breakfast… but we prefer it burnt. Haha
What inspires you? J: Always find myself inspired by directors that take the extra step to create an abstract frame in a motion picture. P: My favorite photographer is Lara Jade, like myself she grew up in a small town, she started shooting purely self portraits and is now an internationally acclaimed fashion photographer living and working in NYC.
What is your go to music to play when you're shooting? J: Generally before we start shooting I always pick a song that I most likely will use for the video, and I play it over and over until everyone hates it. P: … Beyoncé, every time.
What do you do when you are not shooting? J: I’m a surfer, I generally like to spend most of my time at the beach P: Well, I date a surfer so I generally spend most of my time at the beach..
