In my goals for 2024, I believe I’ve been a bit too ambitious, or overconfident in my ability to make things happen. There is one item that I believe I won’t deliver this year even though they are part of my goals: do three theatre productions. The goal I’ll most likley not complete to photograph […]

View ArticleEarlier this month I got to take my second portrait photo for my Black and White project for the year. I used a model (Morgaine Barter) that I found through the Model Mayhem website. She was easy to work with and I suspect there will be more photos of her around my site in the […]
View ArticleI’ve made a determination earlier this week, that I would have to close down my Joy project. The main reason for doing this is that I’m not getting any voluteers for the project. The Joy Project was one of my first projects as I understand myself as a photographer. I created it trying to capture […]
View ArticleYesterday I was meant to have a photoshoot with a (female – yay!) model for my black and white project, more specifically, the portrait bit. She, unfortunately, had an emergency the day before and yesterday I was left with no one to photography. This did, however, inspire me to start my Architecture piece for the […]
View ArticleAs I have mentioned before, I went to photograph the Essendon Theatre Company’s production of Tomb with a View.

I remembered I had read about a technique to use flash and make it look like you were in a studio, even though you weren’t. So I dediced to re-read that book/section about it. Not getting into too much detail, […]
View ArticleI have finally decided which monument to take a photo of for my next “The Lights of Melbourne” project. It will be the Shrine of Remembrance. It is a significant monument here in Melbourne and I have not had the opportunity to photograph it at night. I’ve walked by a few times in the area […]
View ArticleSo recently I’ve purchased a few gadgets for my photography. It makes me happy and I love the trinkets. I have recently acquired the Sekonic Flashmate L-308X, which is a flash metering device. It also works for filming (and filming in HD), but for me it will mostly be for measuring the lights when I need to […]
