Miss Leigh is a lovely girl who wanted some great photos for herself. We have done one other shoot with her before an this time were able to team up with French Kiss Boutique and Vintage Hippy for some clothing. Unfortunately the rain cancelled many of our original plans – which have been postponed for another time. We made use of the rain however and shot her formal gowns in the rain.

Here are some pics – if you want photos like this then please contact us to arrange a shoot – we can access the French Kiss Boutique and Vintage Hippy clothes pretty much any time. Prices start from $350.

We recently ran a photography workshop for some photographers learning to shoot models, cars and use off camera lighting. We put together a mechanics workshop, two lovely ladies, a Ferrari, Monaro GTS drag car and a Harley Davidson.

We spent the day learning how to work with models, makeup artists, lighting and vehicles and their owners.

All the photographers came away with a big learning curve on the step up from taking a few photos in the park to the work that goes into putting a shoot like this together. They learnt how to set the camera up, the lighting up and pose the models and compose their images.

If you are interested in doing this we can put together a workshop for you and your friends or solo tuition if necessary.

Here are a few from the day.

Sometimes as a photographer you just don't have time to shoot your own family. Getting them all in the same place at the same time with the right attitude and clothing is as hard as organising a shoot for any paying clients. Trust me, we know what you go through tog et everybody to us on the day when you bring your family to us to shoot.

Recently I put together a mini shoot on the the lounge room floor. Not that you would know that from the results.

Here are my beautiful girls in a selfie style.

Sometimes we are asked to produce portfolio shots for ladies interested in modelling. The idea is to get as many different looks and styles to show versatility and naturalness. This shoot for Cassie covered 4 hours, 4 locations and 6 clothing changes.

One of our long term models Ally recently imported a Nissan Skyline GT from Japan. It is completely unmodified and will prove to be a good base machine for her to modify over the coming years.

We took some photos of it for her last week.

I was part of a team shooting for alternative Solitude Magazine at Cedar Creek Mt Tamborine yesterday. A number of the best photos will be released in the magazine in due course. However here are some of my stand out images from the shoot.

I was really happy about finding the perfect vine swing in the rainforest and being able to shoot Meg swinging on it with some slow panning effects.

Mel channelled her inner Lara Croft on a waterfall while Heather was a forest nymph. Onoke did her best Summer Glau impersonation (from Serenity) and Mel also floated dead in the water. Finally Kurt from Umbrella Corp showed some abseiling skills and action on a cliff.

I have been playing with some post processing effects – in this case what is know as the Orton Effect, or Dreamscape.

I have applied the technique to a whole lot of different photos to see what the effect was like. Tell me what you think?
