Portrait of Brooke Lee

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Brooke Lee, in my makeshift studio, in my living room in Bondi.
Below is a set of images that I had photographed from our session.

Recent Test Shoot with Shannon

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking with Martina Sill from Backstage Beauty about the idea of working together on a possible test shoot up the Sunshine Coast.
It wasn’t until a week later we decided to put our thoughts into action.
The requirements where relatively simple:

“Keep it natural and clean”

The aim was to keep the focus of the shoot about the connection between the model and myself.
Photograph a few different looks slightly building each look from the last.
Starting off really natural and fresh for the first look and progressively highlighting and contouring as the shoot progressed.

Peter Coulson Studio Techniques Masterclass

I recently had the opportunity to attend Peter Coulson's recent Studio Techniques Masterclass in his studio in Melbourne. It was a pleasure to work with Natascha Verkaik again in Peter's personal studio environment. Peter once again covered many aspects of his photography; including how you can effectively use different light modifiers and manipulate the position of the light direction. He demonstrated how you can use softboxes, beauty dishes and a large parabolic umbrella effectively within the studio environment.

Here is a selection of my images from the day.

Peter Coulson Natural Light Masterclass in Brisbane

I recently had the opportunity to attend Peter Coulson's recent Natural Light Masterclass in Brisbane. It was a pleasure to work with Natascha Verkaik as we walked through the Brisbane Botanical Gardens. Peter covered many aspects of how to properly shoot and select a suitable location when shooting natural light; how to use natural reflectors and how to meter for shadows and highlights.
