Fashion photography ~ Jewellery

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I’ve been working on some images this morning for Look East Australia. So I thought I’d post an image… (more to come!) Look East are a wholesaler for jewellery stores and boutiques around the world.

Look East were the ideal client, really. They were open to ideas and suggestions but also had clear ideas of what they wanted to achieve and illustrate.  We worked together closely to make sure we had a brief that would ensure we would capture images which would appeal to their target market and illustrate the overall mood and feel of their brand.

The photo shoot was a sucess thanks to the following people: Rachael (My photographic assistant ), Amy (makeup), Paula (hair), Tori (Talent), Kelly and Louisa

A Vintage Inspired Wedding ~ Fairfield Boathouse Wedding

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

When I first met Allison and Barney, it was instantly obvious how different their personalities were but how well they complimented each other. Their wedding day was a fantastic reflection of their personalities, connection to each other and to their guests, family and bridal party. Allison and Barney were married on the banks of the Fairfield boathouse which then flowed into their cocktail reception at the boathouse. As the sun set, Duck Musique did a fantastic job of entertaining the guests as they sipped cocktails or took the row boats out on the river. As the music floated out across the river and the guests moved around the boathouse, it actually felt like you’d stepped back into a Saturday afternoon in the 1920s.  Ally and Barney looked super swish, and Allison too looked like she had stepped out of the 1920’s.  When we first met, Ally mentioned her dress would be from Gwendolynne Burkin.  I often stop and admire Gwendolynne’s dresses as Gwendolynne’s store is right around the corner from my studio. Her dresses are amazing and often have a beautiful vintage influence.  Ally’s dress suited her perfectly and looked amazing!

Congratulations barney and Allison! It was a beautiful Wedding day that I was honoured to be a part of!

Website and Marketing Images

You can’t help but smile when you talk to Bridget.  She has a lovely warm personality and is obviously passionate about what she does.  Bridget is the director of Fresh Green Clean.  Fresh Green Clean consult, educate and train organisations on green cleaning.  In the process of creating a new website, Bridget realised that she needed good quality professional images to portray her message and what she does to potential clients.  I did a range of photographs for Fresh Green Clean including Bridget’s profile photographs and images she can use on her website and promotional material to promote what she does clearly and concisely.  Because Brigid works closely with people as a consultant and as an educator it was important that her profile portraits portrayed her warm and approachable personality.  Her clients range from large corporates to cleaning companies so it was important to have a range  of images that all clients could identify with.

From what I heard, while photographing her training course and talking to Bridget about what she does is surprisingly fascinating and I’ve picked up a few tip bits to apply when cleaning!

Thanks so much to Julie Sucksmith for teeing everything up for the shoot and helping out on the day too!

Images that reflect your unique personality

Monday, April 12th, 2010

As a photographer one of the most common things people tell me before I take their photograph is either I hate photographs of myself or I don’t like having my photograph taken!

I like to think that maybe people who say this have just never found the right photographer for them…

Snez said this exact thing to me before I snapped these portraits at the end of her photo session – I hope that maybe I’ve changed her opinion…

Publicity Portraits

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

These portraits are of Tess Evans.  Tess needed some portrait photographs which she could use to promote her new book which will be to be published by Allen and Unwin on the 31st of May.  It’s titled Book of Lost Threads.  Tess was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with, so I am really looking forward to reading her novel.

I haven’t had much of a chance to blog post many of the recent commercial portraits and commercial work I’ve been doing recently.  Being in the mist of the wedding season makes it difficult to do extra things like blog!  I will endeavour to post more images here though!
