L.A. the BTS

This shoot was way back in July but I didn’t really have time to edit the BTS (Behind The Scene) video.

Today I thought I’d sit down and do a quick one that I want to share.

Model: Lauren Ashley

MUA & Hair Stylist: Dave Reid

Flick the video in full screen and full HD mode.

Mola in da house

The postman stopped by today to drop a big box: a Mola Setti beauty dish.

Thanks to Bang & Thuy @ TomKat Photography to do some shopping for me.

When I finished setting it up, I couldn’t resist to do a quick test shoot. By 11pm, it’s not easy to find a model around so I did some stills from whatever was hanging around.

Shot with a Canon 5D and a Carl Zeiss lens. Photos pretty much straight out of camera and cropped in post.

Needless to say that I am planing a shoot very soon to push this “little” beauty to her limits.

Check this space soon.

Rochelle & BJ.

Rochelle is a very well organized young lady, I remember the first time I met her for a chat to discuss about her wedding photography.
It was more than 9 months ago and Rochelle had her little diary with her where every details for the wedding planning were sorted.
Bj ids the type of quiet guy who trusts Rochelle and let her decide about everything.
Rochelle & BJ met when they were teenagers and worked at the same bowling centre. They’ve decide to tie the knot on this Friday at the awesome Chapel in Gold Creek.
Family and friends were coming from around Australia and especially Rochelle “adoptive” family came from France to the special occasion (Rochelle spent sometimes in France as a correspondence/student exchange program).
Thanks guys for having chosen me to capture your precious moments. All the best for your new life.
Just a quick post of some images. More coming soon.

In the LightRoom III

I’ve never been a big fan of LightRoom or Aperture, even if I have them both along with CS5.

I always prefer to edit images with DPP, when I shoot with Canon or Nik, when I shoot with Nikon.

Today, I thought I’d give it a go and see what it’s worth… I’d say that I’m happy with the result and may use it a little bit more in the future.

At the mean time, a few trials. Enjoy

Steph and Jess are wearing the make up by Jolina O’Hair and Asha is wearing the make up by Bindi Kelly.

Shot at the Mt Stromlo at mid day using one light.

S5

Between two weddings, edits and album designs, I managed to escape the studio to do a shoot with a few new faces in the industry.

What was planned to be a one model shoot turned out to be a … 5 model shoot.

The girls were just gorgeous and courageous to brave the wind to do the shoot. A special thank to the two talented ans awesome make up artists, Bindi Kelly and Jolina O’Hair.

For this particular shoot I didn’t plan to have a hair stylist as I wanted some wild floating hair and the wind helped us a bit with this.

Check out a few images below.

Stay tuned as I’ll be releasing the video of the BTS (behind the scene) filmed with an iPhone 4.

Back soon.
