The Real M

I took along my short trip to Vegas my MacBook Pro and the raw files from the Shooting Goodbye session and I’d say that Vegas is not a place to stay in the hotel and edit… 😀

After some fun, and a long and hard labor week end (Wedding Fair) I decided that I had to spend some time to do some edits (after playing a little bit with the kids, of course).

The credits for the make up go to Bindi Kelly (make up for Ali and the boys, Ben & Nigel) and Kate Wal (make up for Stefania Kightley & Stephanie Dontadd) along with the talents of the models.

Special thank to Ali once again for bringing along the lovely Mr. Speck. I really hope you’ll enjoy Sydney and looking forward to catching up with you very often.

Stick around as more images from Vegas and the wedding fair are coming very soon.

PS: The shoot took place at the Hotel Realm (thanks Ben) and I though it’d be cool to name it “The Real M” as it follows the Project M series that I’ve been shooting recently.

Shooting Goodbye

Last Thursday shoot was a particular one as I “shot” one of my models, and friend, Ali Bromley just before she leaves to Sydney.

The shoot was particular in the way that it was planned in a very short time and we kept changing the theme all the time. I may say that arriving on set, I even didn’t know what exactly I was going to create.

The location was once again provided by the handsome Ben Appleton, we shot in the Penthouse of the Hotel Realm, in Barton, Canberra.

I wanted to play with colours and shooting a low key fashion session so I just brought a few small flash guns and mainly prime lenses.

The session was shot with a Canon 1D Mark IV along with the Canon EF 24 f/1.4 L II, 24 mm f/3.5 TSE L II, 50 f/1.2 L and 85 f/1.2 L II. One zoom lens was in the bag, the EF 16-35 f/2.8 L II.

Ali was wearing the make up by Bindi Kelly.

Other models on the set were Stefania Kightley and Stephanie Dontadd.

The make up for both models was by Kate Wal.

I also had the services of two male models, Nigel Hawkins and of course Ben Appleton (both make up by Bindi Kelly).

There was a special guest: Mr Speck the green python (coming along with Ali) and an unexpected and handsome guest Robert Boseski, Steffie’s boyfriend.

We had fun. More to come.

Great Ocean Road

After a long day shooting the out-of-this-world rock show, thanks to Scotty & Nige from the Canberra 104.7 Canberra Hit Music Station. I headed to Melbourne with my Dad for a photography week end.

The night was short between Friday and Saturday and the drive was really long on Saturday but it was really worth it.

We had only he week end to see and capture as much of the world renown Great Ocean Road and of course the 12 Apostles.

I took this photo on the Great Ocean Road not without taking some risks…

Don’t try this at home 🙂

More to come soon.

Winter Shoots

Winter is quiet period for wedding here in Canberra, every year I get to shoot a destination wedding to get away from the cold, so did I for Ondine and Eddy’s wedding last months.
Also along the exciting assignment to shoot Scotty and Nige’ Rock Band, Lane One Form, I did a few modeling shoots.
Too busy with the edits and planning for other shoots, I though I should take some time to post something on my blog to keep my readers, you, in the loop with some of my recent works.
Tomorrow will be the biggest fashion shoot I ever set up.
It would involve heaps of talents and local businesses.
Special thank to Rob of Performance Wedding Car for letting us shoot in his brand new mega studio, The white room.
Also mega thanks to Sandi of Tan This, in the Canberra Centre, to join the project providing spray tan for all the models.
It’s gonna be massive, it’s gonna be the biggest stdio fashion in Canberra that I know of. Stay tuned.
In the mean time, some of my recent works.

Fog in the City

It was a winter day in Canberra but, unlike other winter days, it was a really cold morning one.

I woke up this morning and felt that the heater wasn’t up to the task and realised that today, this year, winter in Canberra was a bit tougher than past years.

The fog was really thick and visibility was really bad. I though that it would be a great opportunity to take some pictures… Actually my wife called me to tell me that I should take some pictures 🙂

A special thought for those who can’t afford the comfort and luxury of a warm home.
