What a night I have ahead of me…  I have been commissioned to photograph the events at the annual Spring Zing for St Mary Mackillop Collage.

This event is what some would consider their year 10 formal except it is fancy dress….  Oh the fun I am going to have…

There is nothing more exciting to portrait photographer than 400 kids in full on fancy dress, with a on-location studio set-up…

Its going to be a very busy night but a heap of fun and I know there will be some really great images from it…

Now I best scoot off and finish packing my car with my lighting equipment, cameras, lens, stands, backdrops and a heap of batteries for all the strobes. 🙂

Stay tuned for some great images….

It has been a long time since I have popped in the theatre to watch a play, so what better excuse to go than when you know someone that has the lead role…

So last night I took my daughter out to see Footloose at the ANU and I must say what an outstanding performance. Bravo

It was a full on 2 and a half hours of fantastic acting and entertainment.  My daughter and I just loved it and I must admit there were some really moving parts in there which I am sure brought a tear to the eye of some of the people in the audience.

One other thing:

Was it wrong that I spent a lot of the time looking at the lighting  on the actors and thinking of how I would frame the shot????

If only I could take my camera back and get some shots of these guys on set….  I know they would make some really special images and something that you can not normally capture without a lot of set-up.

Next time. 🙂

If you have some spare evening in the next week or so pop over and have a look, you will not be disappointed.

The Benny Wills Gala Event went off like a fire cracker at Skyfire.  The night was filled with laughter, and tears. Joy and sadness. Selflessness and generosity.

It is something I am very proud to be part of, even if my part was onlyContinue reading “Wow what a night at the Benny Wills Gala Event!!!”

There is something about the lead up to a shoot that is enjoy…  Maybe its the excitement and the mystery of what is going to happen, or maybe its the knowledge that by the end of the shoot I will have a heap of new friends or maybe its the fact that I get to be part of someone else life, even if it is just for a fraction of their time.

I think the reality is that it is all of those and more….Continue reading “Benny Wills Gala Event for 2013”
