Retro Bride #4

2015-01-02T21:55:00.000-08:00

You might have noticed by now I'm not so much a fan of posed, static images. I love capturing movement, and in doing so I've found this is when I catch a model's true personality shine through - which is what I always seek to do. The same goes for wedding photography - I love a photo-journalism/documentary style. I'll feel a connection to a fellow photog's work when they've captured a split-second grab of emotion.

Here she is: pin up model Lucy Luxe. The amazing, genuine 1950's era frock was sourced from Etsy, and equally amazing, Lucy did her own hair and make-up. Total professional and I expect we'll be seeing a lot more from Lucy in 2015. Stay tuned for more results from our vintage bridal shoot.

So SoCal

Love these shots with the stunning Mara! I wanted a 70s vintage-style southern Cali theme and she totally nailed it. It was blazing hot up there, a carpark in China Town in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. We started shooting at 4.30 pm and the sun was still shining like it was midday, but Mara carried on like a trooper. Thankfully she held up for my beloved golden hour, which came along an hour later and lent the gorgeous light in so many of these shots. Watch this space for more posts!

Bohemian Bride 2

Sarah and I shot this bohemian bridal-inspired story in the gorgeous Roma Street parklands, Brisbane. I think these pictures speak a thousand words.

Bohemian Bride 1

2014-12-08T23:42:00.000-08:00

Alex and I shot this at the Kangaroo Point cliffs, Brisbane, on a late summer afternoon. Even though the location is the inner city, I wanted the feeling of a nature-loving bride getting ready for her upcoming wedding in the forest. Playing a bride always a difficult gig at the best of times, and even harder without a groom, but Alex pulled this off masterfully. Absolutely brought my vision to life :)

Alexandra

Hooray for boho bridal shoots! Nature, flower crowns - what's not to love? This set of images I'm editing of the beautiful Alex is divine - here's a preview.

Sarah

Loving the images from my bohemian bride shoot with the gorgeous Sarah. Here's a sneak peek of what's to come.

Wonderful boho-style shoot with the ultra-talented Mara today: here's a preview of one of my favourites before I get stuck into editing. I love this one so much I made it my Facebook page header :) Watch this space for the rest.

The Lone Stranger

2014-11-18T04:53:00.001-08:00

Po Childs is a local musician and he asked me to take the promo shots for his new comedy alt country act, The Lone Stranger. Mission: create a swamp dog vibe right here in Brisbane. Accepted. This one was a huge amount of fun to work on, not least because of that rubber snake.

I think my shooting at cemeteries is going to become a thing. They're just so beautiful in the late afternoon sun.
