Playing Around
My Family and I went down to the beach one sunday, naturally i took my camera with to get a few shots of the event. I was amazed by the afternoon sun and decided to play with the ambient light. Its so important to know your camera and what its abilities are. I learnt alot from my little experementation session. After our outing i came home and edited the pictures, i decided to create an over exposed kind of look by desatuating the colours and brightning my picture. I was quiet pleased with the outcome and i learnt abit more about light.

2nd Wedding
16 December 2010
This job can only get easyer. I was so much more relaxed with my secound wedding. I really enjoyed this wedding. I learnt how your backround can make or break your photograph. As it was another pleasent rainy day on the east coast we had to look for another location to shoot the creative shoot appose to the beach or park. We decided that we would take the photos at the reception and honeymoon suite, the best decision ever. We got some stunning images. I wish i could post some more up but here are just a few from that day.

Most interesting shoot
11 December 2010
As a photographer you have to be ready for anything that is thrown at. This shoot was a totally new experience for me but i was so happy with the outcome of the images. I use alot of creative lighting in this shoot which added to the whole atmosphere and mood that i was going for. I post edited the images in photoshop and changed the saturation, i think the effect fits these images best. You have to expect the unexpected when it comes to photography but if you ready for it you will get the most amaing pictures.

Joe Macnally
One of my photography Gurus
We were given a project at college to research a famous photographer, I picked Joe Macnally.
Joe is an american photogrpher, he works in New York city.As part of his marketing Joe did alot of work for the American Ballet Company. This interested me right away as i am an ex dancer. I think his ballet portraits are fantastic. He takes ballet out the studio and creates a totally different image of ballet and ballerinas.He is amazingly creative.
Another thing that attracted me to Joe's work is his use of lighting. He has some of the most amazing lighting effects that i have ever seen. He really thinks out of the box. I would love to understand how he creates such stunning pieces of art. I hope to have atleast half of his talent and skill one day.
Here are just a few of my favourite images from some of his work. You have to check this guy out.

1st Baby shoot
20 September 2010
I was so amazed at how this shoot turned out. Babies are not easy to photograph as you cant tell them how to sit ect. The whole photo shoot is based on moments. The photographer has to be ready all the time because when the baby smiles or laughs you have to capture that moment before it slips away. I really enjoyed the shoot because you get to play around a little bit aswell as work. I got some amazing shots and really experimented with lighting. Looking so forward to my next baby shoot.

Jewellery
1st Jewellery shoot
wow this shoot was difficult. There is so much one has to think of when photographing jewellery. The hardest part of this shoot for me was making sure that the colour of the stones was correct. I learnt so much about jewellery from this photoshoot and no doubt it will help me with future jewellery shoots.

Portraiture
If i had to choose one genre of photography to call my favourite it would be portraiture. Every person has a different character and it is up to the photographer to capture that character and portray it in the form of an image.This is just some of my portrait work that i have done. Mood is very important to me. I create mood by changing the angel and possision of my lighting. I would like to experiment more with portraiture and improve my skill.
