Two very old photos of a wonderful evening spent at Archerfield and the first time I ever used a 400mm.

So the blog has been very quiet lately for the simple fact that I am working with Canon 4 days a week, Thursday through till Sunday in fact which cuts out all best days to get content. There’s one major pro out of all of this, I am finally saving the money I need to travel later this year! Then maybe I’ll be able bring some decent images to the blog for a change.

The New Year is upon us folks; let’s make the most of it, bring on 2012!

I was very excited this morning when i woke up to a parcel on my doorstep that was from the U.S of A. In the parcel was my new super clamp and double ball joint head with a snap on camera platform on top of all that. Only having put in my Cusco 7 point cage the night before it proved to be the perfect opportunity to test out the flexibility of the Manfrotto and Cusco systems together.

The second part of my day shooting with Toni&Guy was with Arkie, you might recognise her and these images from the awesome behind the scenes clip Danny Camara made for me. If you haven’t already seen the clip, check it out here.
Once Zoe Thomas had finished styling Arkies hair she had it set in her mind that we wore going to shoot on the footpaths of the city streets during midday sun and traffic. I will admit at first i was quite worried we wore not going to get the results first intended; although I am glad i was pushed outside of my comfort zone for once as we found this great spot on the footpath where a gap in between two building roofs almost made a solid rectangle of natural sunlight which in my opinion made for a perfect dramatic setting.

I received the great news only a few hours after my original post warning you guys and gals about the images that wore coming your way. Unfortunately I have been caught up with 8-5 shifts at work the last 3 days and lost all motivation to make a post.
Kelsey and Jodie 2 out of 3 of the girls competing from the Brisbane Toni&Guy salon stole 1st place. Kelsey Jade Andrew took the win for her editorial image; which is the image above styled as a bun with a messy finish. Jodie on the other hand won her spot with a cut (I will be making a separate post for each of the girls so you can see all of the photos) I must say; not having complete control of a shoot has its challenges. For instance I’m not a huge fan of colour in a lot of my work and i would have never chosen a blue and orange scheme for makeup although it made me focus on Iris.
At this point I realised how well Iris took direction and put it into practice, I can easily say Iris is one of the best models I have worked with to date. Only being 14 years of age Iris Elisabeth Hall is a name you’ll want to remember when she’s over in Paris next year.
