The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Colour of Maroc – a Celebration of Food and Life

Rob Palmer, whose photography featured in Habitus 21 (out now), and his wife Sophia have created an enchanting vision of Marocco in their book ‘Colour of Maroc’, through the lens of culinary culture.


When Australian food and lifestyle photographer Rob Palmer married his French/Moroccan born wife Sophia, they both wanted to share their experience of her homeland Morocco – a colourful, vibrant and unexpected land and encourage others to explore it.

Rob and Sophia not only married in Morocco but decided to travel the country guided by Sophia’s family and friends using food as the vehicle to meet people, share stories and explore new places. They began their journey in Marrakech and cooked in modern cities, ancient medinas and in the remote villages that are sprinkled along the barren deserts, the endless coastlines and in the towering mountains of Morocco.

As Sophia says ‘Cooking and sharing meals together is such an important part of Moroccan culture. Food is the gateway into the lives and homes of people, but no self-respecting Moroccan cook will ever admit to following a recipe.’ Sophia set about writing up authentic and modern Moroccan recipes with the home cook in mind while Rob photographed the landscape and their experiences, capturing the very essence of the country.
