Swimwear cover shoot in Australia's great beaches with Gillian Cooper

Swimwear and Gym wear was part of the brief, a little departure from bikinis on the beach. I was looking for some energy, with strong eye contact that would engage the viewer and separate these images from the norm. Gillian's vitality and youthfull energy, along with the vibrant colours under our great aussie sun all contributed to a great days shoot.

Actor's, Musicians and Model's headshots are allways a challenge.

As a professional's portraits are often the first thing people see on line, they need to make an emotional connection first up, well before the resume or blurb is read. These were shot for Alexis's music Cd cover, but will no doubt find their way into her modelling portfolio and websites as well.

Classic Vintage Beauty inspired shoot of Gillian Cooper

This beauty fashion shoot came about after I had a request from an editorial client for images inspired from past classic beauty photographs. So after some quick shopping and fiddling back at the studio, we came up with these sensual tributes to an era that has slipped away.

Keeping the makeup simple then shooting a few frames of Chloe, while letting her work the camera. The resulting images are simple yet evocative because of her  sensual connection with the viewer. This worked wonders as a warm up for the tribal shoot I had planned, and helped produce the strength and energy in the images you'll see next. I'll post as soon as I've worked them up.

Edgy, strong and crisp portrait shoot gives Alexis a totally fresh look

We were shooting for Alexis's music video cd cover and promotional material, and I decided on something stronger with a clean posterised look. This is one I've worked up and more are to follow when I've narrowed the selection down to a few hero images.

Street Fashion that caught Gillian's eye.

Gillian Cooper, recently suggested to this vibrant visitor from Cuba, that she contact me with the view to shooting with me. Here are some of the test shots, a great start to updating and adding a local feel to her modelling portfolio.
