A quick update from yesterday’s shoot with some more edits.
The people behind the shoot (looks like I got a bit of a sun burn…)
VND – The Winter Catalog
Viktoria Novak (from Viktoria Novak Design) is a well known name in the fashion industry in Canberra.
I had a chance to finally meet her for a quick chat about an upcoming collaboration between VND and Nomad Photography.
When walking through her wardrobe I had the idea to do a winter shoot… It’s a bit out of time but we didn’t really have a proper summer per say so the idea was kinda cool.
Within 2 hours we decided to set up a shoot within the next 2 days. Needless to say that to gather a team for such project, even it’s a small one, it needed a bit of preparation and also we needed to cast for models.
Lucky enough, within our networks (thanks to Facebook) we had more than needed models for the shoot.
Thanks again for our models (Daisy Milo, Samantha Lawson Fletcher, Sky Mackenzie) for having been up to the task of wearing winter jackets under the burning sun.
A good thank you to everyone involved and the credits go to:
Viktoria Novak: MUA, Stylist, Designer
Tristen Cassar: Hair Stylist and lighting assistant
Lyndell Roberts: Photography Assistant and BTS
We also had a surprise guest: Robert Coppa, who lent a helping hand with some BTS and lighting assistance.
Mega thanks to Viktoria’s mum and dad for providing us with warm welcome into their house and for the drinks and food and Viktoria’s sister for helping us with some posing in the shed and helping us scouting the areas.
I used a Mola Setti for this shoot.
Place for some images.
Saigon Mui Ne’ – SeaLinks
After a few days spent in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) City, more images coming soon, we headed to Mui Ne’ for a bit of a dip into the ocean and some photography.
The trip took almost 5 hours and we finally arrived at one of the awesomest houses that I’ve seen, been and slept inside …
The place is all marble and it’s a two storey-4 bedrooms-4 ensuites-downstairs bathroom and shower-two living areas with individual balcony kinda house thingy…
There are different lighting style to make it look like a fancy house or a night club, just change the colour of the light and you change the mood of the house.
The aircon system will take you from 35 degrees to 12 degrees in less than 3 minutes and the whole thing is area independent …
I realized in the morning that we are a bout 35 meters away from The biggest pool in the area. Oh, and did I mention that it also has a 18 whole golf course as well?
If you are curious, look up Sealinks somewhere on Google to have just an idea what sort of thing it is…
Of course this house is for rent as well so if you are interested for a short stay in Mui Ne, send me an email and I’ll send you more details.
First impressions:
Trip to VN
On a note more personal, I wanted, as promised, to post some image from a recent trip to Viet Nam with my Family.
It all started very awesome and we spent two days in Singapore, prior to flying to Viet Nam.
Because I haven’t edited photos from Singapore, I’ll upload some of Viet Nam first 🙂
The first batch of photos are of the location where we stayed, The Manor. It’s a newly built building with fully furnished apartments and crowed with security guards, even in the lifts 🙂
Needless to say that we were lucky enough to be the first people to have the place so everything was freshly unwrapped for our arrival.
The building is conveniently located with taxis waiting at the door, if we’d need to go somewhere.
There is a KFC, a pizza place and a Pho 24 just downstairs at ground level and on top of the building is the awesome swimming pool with a massive view over to the river and the surroundings … Just can’t wait to get back there.
If you happen to go to Viet Nam, would it be for holidays or business, I’d recommend this place. I’d put some contact details up here or if you’re interested, send me an email.
Here are the first shots from my trip to Viet Nam 2010-2011.
Sunday Wedding Sunday
It’s time to catch up with my blog after the Xmas break where I took the family overseas.
I will have a lot to catch up and post about my trip to Vietnam, with street photography, landscape and of course weddings as I also shot a couple of weddings in Vietnam.
But let’s get back to today’s post: Today, I had the pleasure to capture Pecs & Allan Wedding, very in the tradition of Philippine’s Wedding style.
The couple was just gorgeous, the bridal party was awesome and the Ceremony is over the top. Watching these love birds and I can tell that they are so much in love and …. these guys really know how to party, that’s for sure.
Although it’s a bit late, I still wanted to post some quick edits of what was an awesome way to finish a week-end.
With weddings like this, I’d take one every second Sundays 🙂
Stay tuned, more to come.
