canberra times...

if you get a chance grab a copy of the sunday canberra times, i have a small photo on the front page! i also have the cover image of the 'relax' magazine that comes in the paper with a 2 page spread... ill post some scans when i get a chance

checkpoint 2...

thought id post my images from checkpoint 2 for some feedback, anything constructive is always appreciated!

i know my dodgy lightroom vignette looks crap, im trying to find other ways that look less obvious, any suggestions?

for all shoots jacqui from jsmakeup did the makeup and sheryn from hair in the city was the hairstylist. for the location images some clothing is from vicky at rockstars and royalty. 

studio.... pretty happy with these images, i have shot them on 120 b&w film as well, so im going to print them and see which format i prefer.

location.... these images aren't really what i was visualizing when i planned the shoot, so i am still clouded by that and don't know how i feel about them.

first checkpoint...

so the first checkpoint has come and gone. i have posted my images below i would really appreciate some constructive criticism please!

location...

concept is deconstruction, shown through location, hairstyling and makeup.

models were melissa, who i worked with last semester and leeroy, who had never done a photoshoot before. my sister from jsmakeup did the makeup and sheryn from hair in the city was my hair stylist. the tartan clothing is from rockstars and royalty, designed by vicky kidd-gallichan.

studio...

concept for this shoot is death by fashion

5 models were involved- melissa, emma, cristabelle, jacqui- who was also my head makeup artist and lois- who was the assistant makeup artist. sheryn was my hair styist. this was the first time i worked with a clothing stylist- vicktoria, together with my sister we all styled the models to create the complete looks. vicktoia made the hats and fascinators that are featured in the photos- i will post a link to her blog when i get it.

overall the shoot was very chaotic, when you have so many people on board it can be very complicated to ensure your vision is understood and accomplished. i was not up to my game and as a result i have not created the images i wanted to. i am considering re-shooting.

purple...

this weekend i wanted to test out my 5dmkii so i threw together a really simple shoot, where i could experiment with all the new features and test the iso and image quality of my camera

i borrowed the hat from rockstars and royalty and as usual jsmakeup (my sister) did the makeup... i shot in my backyard with a silver reflector, speedlite on camera and a black sheet

maria antoinette inspired shoot...

this is a shoot i did just before school started for fun and experience... 

the model is my friend aimee, as usual jacqueline scott from jsmakeup- my sister- did the makeup, the clothing is by vicky from rockstars and royalty and i brought in a hair stylist that i had never used before- sheryn

over all im pretty happy with the images... of course they are things i would do differently, but i guess that was the point of the shoot
