Yesterday I finally photographed my friend Cintia. She and I had been organizing for me to photograph her for a while and our schedules never really matched. Yesterday it finally happened! We met at Carlton Gardens, which I felt was somewhere were we would have a lot of photography options. The Royal Exhibition building, which […]

Now that I’ve posted all the related material, thoughts and lessons learned, I can now post the photos gilt free. Also, I wanted to get the post done as quickly as possible and take my time to edit the photos. And that’s exactly what I did. So here are the ones I considered came out […]

During my week off, that spanned from Easter all the way to the following Sunday, I was able to do an “impromptu” photo shoot with my friend Lucas. I thought he was just a friend reaching out to help, and it was, but I later, during the session, discovered that he has done modelling before. […]

It is a great idea and there are a lot of interesting profiles there. I have seen great work done by the participants: beautiful models, great photographs. This platform, called Model Mayhem, is a […]

So I have started thinking of my next project. In parallel to working on my portraits project – which will be very difficult as I rely on models to be available – I will start my “What the eyes can’t see” project. I will still reassess the name, but the subject is taking photos using […]

I will do a whole project on Portraits. I thought that I could start with my own. I care a lot about my self-image and I loved the photo I posted of me on the day of my engagement party. Now that I have the all (most) of the material required for a studio, I […]
View ArticleI have decided that the first Finding Your Reflection will be executed after Christmas. This Christmas period is quite hectic at the moment and getting time with my models will be difficult. I now have 4 people who have agreed to do it, and one of them is my partner. I will probably start with […]
View ArticleSo we went to Williamstown. Had lunch and went out to somewhere nice to take photos. There are good photos of Nanna, but in all honesty, the photo I likes the most may not have been what my partner had in mind, but it definitely is what I believe the best photo (getting an agreement […]
View ArticleI have to learn how to do portraits. I generally take a lot of event photos, but I have only done one portrait session in my amateurishness. The photos didn’t turn out bad, but not fantastic photos either. The important thing is that the client (a work friend) was very happy and impressed with the […]
