On the waterfront with Maddy

Casual few frames down on the sandstone rocks with Maddy, letting the contrast of textures and mood fill the frame.

VIVID Sydney Festival of Light, again brightens our harbour nights with great luminous sculptures.

Vivid Sydney again gave me the opportunity to shoot Monique bathed in the installations light. Shooting in that massive crowd proved again to be a challenge, but unlike last years Vivid shoot, the rain stayed away. (see older blog for our last Vivid shoot). Monique did a great professional job braving both the freezing weather and the multitude of onlookers, all of coarse with cameras.

Hair and Make Up by Katherine Minty, assistant : Sky, and all the designers and artists of the installations.

Luna Rioumina slips across to Oz and into something comfortable.

SPARTACUS, the US series Luna was strutting her ample stuff in helped get Luna ready for our shoot, the first of many.
Luna landing might now take on a new meaning, as  I expect more than a couple of editors may go into orbit when the rest of this shoot hits their screen, so as they say "watch this space".

Hair and makeup by Nikita Lauren and assisted by Scott

African model strutts Sydney streets for her modelling portfolio shoot

We were searching for some street locations when I spotted this quiet lane complete with strong shadows to add some shape and texture into the mix. Quinnie's first shoot with me on location in urban Sydney.

Fashion shoot for Larissa's modelling portfolio was almost blown away in recent gale.

Although it was blowing a fierce gale, I thought the great light we were blessed with when the clouds suddenly parted should not be wasted. I had a location in mind that could offer some shelter and utilise the warm light. In this image I made use of the colours that complemented her skin tone, the textures of the metal frame and the shadows it threw. Even that wind was harnessed to provide some hair and skirt movement, a win win all around, and another  great day at the office!

Two models with great lips and hair is what inspired me to get these girls together.

When I mentioned that I was looking to shoot a group of girls with long great hair, Alexis mentioned her friend Larissa. Yes she has great hair, but also great lips to compliment her strong sensual look. Now the search for a third for the shoot I have in mind.

Portfolio shoot of a new model I scouted in Enmore road.

I saw Jacqueline walking with her father recently and after approaching them, we organised to shoot a test at my studio. Jacqueline is an actor and aspiring model, so her interest in both acting and modelling  is going to be a big plus for her.
As I wanted to start off by keeping things simple, I went without getting makeup and hair done by a stylist, and just shot some simple studio shots to give us both a feel for what we can do together. The images here are a few of the many produced on the day for a start to Jacqueline's folio.
