Catching up with my crazy schedule, I just wanted to share some images created a week ago with a model that I shot for the first time.

It was a fun shoot with a long time friend make up artist, Isma Majeed, who just came back to Canberra for a couple of days (she moved to Melbourne last year)> I’d say that it’s always a pleasure t work with Isma and I am looking forward to doing a shoot with her sometimes in Melbourne.

Most of the image have been captured with my new toy: an Olympus OM-D mounted with a Leica M 50mm Summicron lens. This is my new favorite little camera right now..

Stay tuned and if you like the images, make sure you share them with your friends either on Facebook or Twitter.

Add Colour

After an awesome wedding on Saturday, I though I’d have some quality time chilling but it was raining outside. Nothing worse when it rain than not getting out and shoot.

Well, we didn’t shoot in the rain, Thanks to Jeff and Ailsa for opening the workshop on a Sunday afternoon to let me shoot there.

I knew Jeff & Ailsa, from Add Colour (76 Wollongong street, Fyshwick) for quite a few years now as they are the only premium quality printers, for big formats, that I am happy with.

We even played with Jeff’s car and I’d say that everyone enjoyed the location.

A big thank you as well for Jolina O’Hair for doing the make up for her sister in law, Jessica and the gorgeous Olga Valerie Shuster.

Big thank you to Isma Majeed for her awesome make up on Natalie Edwards and also to Kate Wal, who helped me with some of my previous shoots but this time, I shot her 🙂

I used only one light with a Mola beauty dish (Setti polished silver) for the whole session. More images coming soon.

Aure & Sam

Last week was one of the longest one that I’ve had in a while:
From the launch of the Beaujolais Nouveau 2011, at the Alliance Francaise, on the Thursday, to a wedding location scouting session, on the Friday, then a long but awesome wedding shoot on Saturday followed by a photo shoot for a security company, shooting security staff at night clubs.
On the Sunday we had a Canberra Strobist shoot through out the day and I conclude with a shoot out at Mt Stromlo with one of my new investments: a Mola Setti, satin silver.

Not only I am a bit behind in the edits for past and up coming weddings, I wanted to share some of the images during this Mola shoot.
I had two models, Samantha, the brunette, who already spent the whole day at the Canberra Strobist shoot , and Aurelie, a gorgeous french blonde.
This shoot was set up in less than 3 days (I met Aurelie on Thursday and Sam on Saturday) which shows that real talents are always ready to go 🙂
A special thank to Kate Wal, who drove all the way to Mt Stromlo to do the make up for Aurelie. Also a mega mention to Isma Majeed, who did the make up for Sam which lasted the whole day (Kate did a bit of touch up for Sam’s lips though).

Mega thanks to all involved with a special mention to Linh, my beautiful wife for all her support in what I do.
Let’s make some rooms for some images.
