What a freaking awesome shoot today… Man, it was amazing… I had two super hot models, with outfits that were amazing, makeup that was on point like you wouldn’t believe and a freaking super hot Ferrari…..
The best thing is that I also had the photographic gods on my side as they gave me lots of cloud cover to get some really stunning images. <3
Here is just one of the heap of portrait and car images we captured. I know you are going to love it as much as I do.

If you are looking at getting married or just after a one of a kind photo shoot like this, drop me a line from my contact page. 🙂
A weeeeee bit ago I was doing a fashion photo shoot, while the model was getting changed I thought I would give this modeling thing a try and you know what???????
The amazing and fantastic thing about cancer is that no one actually cares until it kills a loved one, and then they seem to care.
I would almost think it’s hard to believe in this day and age and certainly, as you get older that you have not met or been touched by someone that has been lost to this deadly and unforgiving disease. Cancer doesn’t care whether you are black, white, Christian, Muslim, American, male, or female. Cancer will take your life, it will take the life of your loved ones and it will take the life of the people you know. It is unforgiving it is the black plague of our society and kills thousands of people every year.
There are different variations of cancer as we all know and each of these has different degrees of severity and in left untreated, they will all take your life.
Tomorrow is pink ribbon Day, this is a day that brings awareness to breast cancer to encourage people to get checked and also self-check. It is also a day of fundraising which I must say and it should go without saying it is more important now than ever.
Yesterday in Canberra the motorcycle community banded together as they do around the world to support this cause. They gathered at old Parliament house and road to Bungendore while raising much-needed funds along the way. While I didn’t attend this event I have friends which did and I also have friends which are suffering from cancer which also rode in this event and it was great to hear the fun that these people had in banding together to support such a cause.
So if you can do one thing tomorrow bring awareness to breast cancer and in particular pink ribbon Day. Go to work dressed in pink, by a ribbon or just open up a conversation that hopefully will encourage people to get checked.
Help us to reach a goal and fight cancer and help us to kick cancers arse because without your help it will take the life of someone you love.
I must say as an event photographer that gets to also travel where ever the events are, I attend all sorts of parties but yesterday was a first for me. While it was a party it wasn’t for anyone but for the 1st birthday of FRoC (Female Riders of Canberra).
These are a bunch of motorcycle riders that just wanted to have a club for the ladies and it was their first birthday yesterday so why not get a portrait photographer to come along and get photos of the ladies with their bikes as a way to celebrate?
So that is what I did. 🙂
This shoot was different, though. I knew the ladies wanted to get shots with their bikes and I know they would want the best lighting possible and I knew that my largest softbox was only 90cm x 90cm that is great for single or couple shots it isn’t really big enough for things like people and bikes unless I gang a few of them together.
Having done that a heap I wanted to avoid it as it brings in its only problems and as I also want to start to photograph the larger object or using a single light source I bit the bullet and bought a new 190cm Elinchrom Litemotiv and to say it is huge is an understatement.
Elinchrom Litemotiv 190cm used to photograph multiple motorbikes in full midday sun.
It is fair to say after using it for this shoot and the amount of light and quality that this pushes out in full midday sun, this is now a valuable part of my portrait and event arsenal.
Throwing my assistant in to be my model while setup the lights.
As you can see from the image above there is very little shadow and it is almost impossible to see any bright patches on the grass from the massive 190cm Octa. Very nice I must say.
Some more playing with this new softbox is on the card in the coming weeks to see where I can push it, which I will add should be a lot of fun. 🙂
You ever get that feeling when you are out on location shooting and your studio lights stop doing that flash and POP thing that you have grown to love????
I have and it’s not a nice feeling especially when you have people standing in front of said studio light waiting for the blinding flash…
Lucky for me (ok ok ok not really luck but more planning as I like to be prepared for just about anything and have a backup plan for my backup plan) I have backup lights so I can swap them out for new ones. 🙂
The trick to this little plan is that you have buy replacement bulbs and when they are 200$ each you tend to put it off for as long as you can. So with the splash of 800$ I now can replace my old bulbs and have some spare as a backup plan. 🙂
All I can say due to the cost of each of these bulbs I am glad they last more than a few shots.
