Photo Opportunity: Perth Monthly Model Photo Shoots
Want to photograph models? Perth hobbyist photographers now have a fantastic opportunity to work with a number of models and stylists at on-location photoshoots, thanks to a team of creative models and stylists. The brain child of Perth model Sarah-Jane Mercier, the Perth Monthly Group Photo Shoots bring together models, stylists, make-up artists and photographers...
60 Kisses – 60 Minutes
Kissing. Pashing. Snogging. Whether a chaste peck on the cheek or a full-on exercise in mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, the kiss is synonymous with romance. With intimacy. With love. “You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss,” crooned Louis Armstrong. While musing on what I could possibly shoot as my theme for the 60 Minute...
Grand Masters of the Surf
The veteran sea dogs of Cottesloe – the Harmony Crew – fronted up at the studio on Saturday in their rowing regalia for the “Gun’s Up!” portrait project. Led by Owen “Major” Ashby, the boys got in line and posed for photos. The old adage “age shall not weary them” was indeed true for the...
Tattooed photographic models required
Calling all visitors, guests and contestants from the Perth Tattoo Carnivaal who are interested in having professional studio photographs taken of themselves. I’m working on a series of creative and artistic studio portraits of people with fairly extensive tattoos (sleeves, chest, back, legs) for a future photographic exhibition. If you’re a contestant or guest at...
A juggling act
I’d ducked out of the studio during a day’s shooting on Saturday to grab a coffee and a bite to eat, and noticed this young busker doing a juggling act just outside. He was drawing a bit of a crowd with his ability to make these clear balls roll over his arms and fingertips.
Gun’s Up! Portrait Series: The Bowler Boys – Steve, Shane, Todd and Troy
For some families, rowing is in the blood. The Bowlers is one such clan, an intrinsic part of the WA surf-rowing scene since almost forever. Steve Bowler sweeps for the Open Men’s crew at City Beach; his eldest son, Shane, takes fourth seat in the crew. Shane’s younger brothers, Todd and Troy, have all crewed...
Gun’s Up! Portrait Series: The Cott V Boys – Alex Davies, Jay Parkin, Paul Bossong, Jarrad Dorey and Jeff Burling
I shot the second series of portraits for the Gun’s Up! book on Saturday. The focus, this time, was on the Cott V, a crew who have rowed together for five years straight for Cottesloe SLSC.
Swords in the Studio
Matt Goyder is an imposing fella, a giant of a man with equally imposing tattoos on both his arms. Goyder, as he prefers to be called, collects weapons: sais, swords, katanas, butterfly knives – you name it. When a bloke like this asks you to do a weapons-based shoot in the studio, you don’t say...
Autumn photo ramble, Guildford
40 photographers descended on the quiet village of Guildford in the Swan Valley for an autumnal photo ramble through its picturesque and historic surrounds. I had organised this Autumn Photo Ramble through the Photographers in Perth Flickr group; this photo walk was an opportunity for local photography enthusiasts to catch up with others of our...
Lina and Jett: a love story
One of the great moments of working with models is when the relationship between models and photographer just clicks. I was shooting two new models yesterday – Matt Goyder and Wild Kat – and the synergy during the shoot was absolutely amazing. We shot at Yellagonga Park in Woodvale, in an open paddock with a...
