FAMILY :: RUSTY & CO.
This is the second shoot I’ve done for Rusty and they just keep getting better. This time it was a family portrait taken in and around Glenelg with his beautiful daughter. We met up at a little place for a quick coffee and after a few supportive words (thank you so much) we headed out [...]
FAMILY & NEWBORN :: WATT FAMILY
There is nothing more special than the birth of a baby and the little life as it starts to grow and learn. Having had my own little one, i know the feeling when it comes down to having a newborn. Shaun and Annie were kind enough to have me take a few images of their [...]
EVENT :: SA HEALTH
Well, I think it’s safe to say that I felt much smarter after being at this conference. Being a fly on the wall while some of the most influential people in the world give a conference on Health in all Policies will change your whole view on the current health system and just how hard [...]
EXPERIMENTAL SUNDAY
I had a great weekend. Spent some time with my daughter and watched her first recital at ballet school… she did not have the heart to actually walk onto stage, but she did make an appearance, I think the excitement of the day and the audience was a little too much for her. Shame, I [...]
THE CENTRE OF MY LIFE
She is the blessing I never thought I would have. Such a special little girl. Everyone… say HI to my special little person growing up so fast! Have a great weekend. A.
FAMILY :: SEAN, ANNIE, GABBY +1
This is Sean, Annie, Gabby and a little bean yet to see the world. I had the honour of shooting their family portraits for them in the city and around the beach. We had a great time and I love the images we got. Gabby was a little star and she was so pleasant to [...]
DAY351 :: EVENTS
Been doing a couple of corporate events recently. Something i’ve not done in a while but really enjoying it. I love the idea of meeting new people and being part of the event in such an intimate way. I’m looking forward to a few more coming up… A special thanks to Shane for being the [...]
DAY350 :: GETITRIGHT
There’s allot to be said for Photoshop, and I firmly believe in it’s use and the effects you can achieve with it. The only thing I don’t like about photoshop, is it can make you lazy as a photographer.
FAMILY :: CHETWYND FAMILY
Wow, what an experience! This is the largest group i’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. This is a great family that wanted some together shots. They don’t get together very often so i really wanted to make the most of time we had. Even-though the weather let us down, everyone worked together and we [...]
DAY308 :: A SMALL FAMILY
A quick shot from my family session today. we had great light… and a very nice family… thanks for coming out guys. A
DAY274 :: WINDOW?
It’s so nice not to have to use my face for this shot… i think this one is sooo much better. On the odd occasion when she poses for a shot, I end up getting a great one!
DAY261 :: ANOTHER ONELIGHT
Really wanted to push the limits of my single light setups today in preparation for my upcoming Promise shoot. What’s great about this technique is that i can maximise the light i have and create much more balanced images by using only what’s available. I’m happy with what i did today and i think the [...]
DAY259 :: ONE LIGHT
My shot for today was intended to use one light to light the subject and the background. It’s sounds easy, but getting mix and the balance right between two very different subjects can be challenging.
SPECIAL :: MOTHERS DAY 2011
It’s Mothers Day soon. The one day of the year that we take to appreciate the awesome job moms do and the commitment and effort it takes. I think we could all do a little more to show our love and appreciation for the one person in the world that will love you no matter [...]
DAY255 :: FATHER.IN.LAW
My father in law has been visiting for 10 days and we have had a blast! The visit cam to an end with a beach shoot with my daughter and “granddad”. It was a stunning day and we had a great time. The beach was pretty empty and the sun was clear and warm. A [...]
DAY253 :: SOME FLARE
I took this shot a bit further than i normally would. I had the Einstein as my main light, a DI866 behind me and another off the right to give the flare in the image.
DAY252 :: DARK PORTRAIT
I wanted a darker mood to this one. Still sticking to the Einstein and i love the results. I’ve also never had to go above 1/2 power on the light as yet.
DAY250 :: 640 in 28″
I did this test just to see if there would be a difference in the quality and power of the Einstein in my Westcott 28″ softbox. The verdict… read on.
DAY246 :: IMPROMPTU
We had some friends over on the weekend and decided to do a very quick family session. With all the gear i own, it really makes life very easy to setup something in very short amounts of time. We literally grabbed some gear and walked down the road to a grassy patch and took some [...]
DAY245 :: CAN’T SEEM TO DITCH THE ALLEYWAY
We all have our favourite places. Some people like malls, some like the park… i like alleyways… I feel my most comfortable shooting in not-so-well-known spaces and my clients love it.
DAY239 :: THE LOOK
I had a great shoot today with 2 awesome ladies and this Gentleman that was invited to participate in the friend shoot by the 2 ladies this afternoon. He had no idea what to expect and arrived anyway… I take my hat off to you Sir! We had a great time in the studio and [...]
DAY238 :: COUPLE SHOOT
Had a great shoot. I tried a few new techniques, one of which was the rear curtail sync on the new pocketwizards. It is activated automatically once the shutterspeed drops below a certain level, i like the integration, but i wish there was a way to activate it manually and turn it of in-shoot. The [...]
DAY230 :: PREVIEW FOR A RECENT SHOOT
Just a quick preview of a recent couple shoot, watch this space.
DAY212 :: STAIRS, HOW I LOVE THEE
I love stairs. They are very undervalued, and maybe just a little over-used… sound familiar? Got to play around a bit with shoot-thru umbrellas and i must say, i need to use the much more often… they have this ability to fill up the whole room, so great for individuals, in tight spaces, that need [...]
