Ciaran and Jesseca, April 9, 2011

2011-05-16T21:40:00.006+09:30

Had the great pleasure of shooting Ciaran and Jesseca's wedding last month. The bride and groom were awesome, as were the bridal party. They really made my job easy. They picked some pretty damn good caterers, too. Easily the best wedding meal I've ever had.

Afro Celt Sound System @ WOMADelaide 2011

2011-03-20T17:19:00.000+10:30

The highlight - for me, anyway - of WOMADelaide 2011 was undoubtedly UK's Afro Celt Sound System. It's been a decade since they were last here and they more than made up for it. Awesome to shoot and such an amazing band. I really hope they don't wait as long to grace our shores again.

Leigh Warren & Dancers @ WOMADelaide 2011

2011-03-20T13:22:00.000+10:30

Well, another WOMADelaide has been and gone. Four days, twelve $1 samosas, eight cans of Mother, 2½ packets of cigarettes, twenty disposable ear plugs, one broken camera and 6070 shots. Yep, it was a lot of fun. Except for the broken camera bit. Here's a tip, photographers: don't leave your camera with a heavy lens teetering on the edge of an aluminium bench. It really doesn't look good when the whole thing falls and your brand new 80-200mm f/2.8 is sitting out at 10° from the body. Luckily it was my second camera and it looks like it'll be easy to fix. I hope. Anyway, over the next few weeks I'll be uploading a bunch of photos I took at WOMADelaide. If you've never been, you really need to check it out.

First up are the fabulous Leigh Warren & Dancers who premiered their latest work, Breathe.

Gemma Vendetta: Jilted Prom Queen.

2010-05-09T19:00:00.002+09:30

Had a great shoot with Gemma Vendetta on Friday night. Gemma got in touch with me through ModelMayhem, was keen on doing something and I jumped at the chance. She has a very distinct look and what she does, she does very well, so I thought it'd be fun to shoot something in complete contrast to her portfolio. Namely, something dark, sad and gritty. We hit upon the idea of going for a "jilted prom queen" theme; the aftermath of a night in which nothing went to plan. Makeup was done by Melissa Nicole who hit the nail right on the head as far as the look I had in mind. Everything clicked on the shoot and even things that'd normally spoil the fun (rain, for example) proved a bonus and something else we could work with. Here are the results. I'll upload the colour versions of some of these shots in the near future as they look pretty damn great, but as they're not in keeping with the theme as such, I thought I'd just go with the B&W shots for now. Stay tuned, folks.
