This was an editorial fashion shoot. 

Enjoy!

Models: Alysha and Haylee

Shoots, shoots, shoots & Vintage cars

 VINTAGE CARS FOR OUR SHOOT!

 Eric nearly wet himself. 

 Vintage holden. 

The inside was sooooo awesome.  

My attempt at levitation. Seriously its SO hard and SO tiring.
Im wearing an Asos top, Motel shorts, Dangerfeild cardigan (also have one in mustard) and Rubi loafers. 

Annas shoot today. Cute puppies we stole from some random walking by. 

Her swimsuit is heart shaped!!

No photos photoshopped, all only colour edited. 

No time to type, BACK TO EDITING. 

Editorial!

 Here are a few photos from a previous shoot i did, but havent posted on the internet anywhere yet. 

Ive been trying to hit the glamourous editorial style photos for quite awhile now!

I thought the best way to achieve this style easily, is with these following tips: black and white, hair ALL up, heavy/dark makeup, and angular poses. 

 Some tips for model photoshoots (involving numerous outfits):

Go through the outfits first! Make sure you start shooting with casual clothes, and save the best outfit FOR LAST! Because by then, the model will have gotten more comfortable (especially if you havent worked together before, or they are new to modelling, or some of the outfits are revealing), and your best shots will always come from the 100-200 last photos! Im saying this from experience!

Models dont often like to tell you how and what they want from the shoot. Its always great if you can work WITH your model to achieve an outcome BOTH of you desire! I really value models opinions/input. I always let them do thier own ideas because they will be confident and it will show in the photos! :) (Rather than if i directed them to do something they didnt quite understand)

Btw, im going to be doing a post on hair very soon.... How ive been styling my hair for about a year now, with no heat! (And its bleached and dyed, but healthy as ever!) I have 4 different types of curlers which ill reveiw all of them (plus pricing and comfort, etc), and ill list all the hair products i use, and my steps for various hairstyles. 

Ill also be doing new tutorials on really simple vintage hairstyles. Most of these involve curly hair, so ill be posting the no heat curl hair post first!

Stay tuned!

Film noir

Some exciting news! This week i got a new job, as marketer/photographer for a music store business! Looking forward to that. 

A re-edit of Olivia. Just going to put it out there, location shoots are far more interesting and unique than studio.  

Last week i filmed for two nights, into the early hours of the morning. It was a film noir produced by my friend Max for this uni project. They wer using incredibly expensive and professional gear! And the actors and actresses were amazing! I cant wait to see the finished product! Here is a snap of the actress brooke, who plays a saucy seductive 1940's gal. 

Will have more photos to put up later!

Latest Edits

I apologise for the lack of activity lately, im quite busy with uni assignments at the moment! Ive had a bit of fun on this iPad app called Pixlromatic during classes, and so heres a bunch of photos that ive post processed... (All from old photoshoots)

This week ive done nothing apart from uni work except for eating food at carnegie, spend alot of money on bubbles, and plan my new company ideas. 

Next week ill be helping out with a film that my friend Max is directing! Ill be sure to bring my camera and get some snaps. Im also spending this saturday at Maroondah Dam with the mpc folk, so hopefully i get some more good shots there too. 

In case anyone reading hasnt seen these photos before, theyre ALL mineee!! :D

I really love the "netted" look over this photo. 

Old film grain effect. 

I do like the flares in this photo - a nice touch i reckon.

WOW!

Monica :) Looking glamorous as usual!

Matt matt matt matt matttttyyyyy maaattttttttt hehhee

Poloroid!!

Today is the first day of spring, and when i think about, that winter was pretty tame. It was like 50% sunny days. I was expecting far worst from Melbourne. Now im worried for this upcoming summer, it better still be hot or i will be thoroughly disappointed!!

Please dont use my photos without my permission! :)

By the way, could i pretty please ask for feedback? I realised ive never asked for critique before, but let me know if you have any feedback on my photos/editing! Ive made the commenting tool open to anyone, so you dont need an account to comment, but please write your name, so i know who the feedback is from!

Delicious food + LIGHTROOM (finally)

Just going to warn you, this post will just be a seemingly endless scroll of ALOT of photos that ive photographed previously, but now with LIGHTROOM EFFECTS! I finally got this amazing software thanks to my best friend Matt :) Thanks a lot mate!

Niko's cafe in Oakleigh. These treats were like $5-$6 each. But very much worth it, they were amazing. 

An old photo of macaroons i made. Chai and chocolate with baileys buttercream. 

 Midnight snack in between assignments. 

 This caramel slice was HEAVEN. It took me two hours to eat because i was savouring every crumb of it. 

 See that thick layer of chocolate ganache right in the middle of this chocolate cake??? Magical. 

Eric and i stopped walked past some memorial tombstones on the way back to chadstone. 

Its connnniiieeee wearing my hat and shirt.
You will probably have seen these photos on some of my other websites. I cant remember which ones i have and havent put up. (I dont keep count) But these are the lightroom edited versions. 

We got helium balloons for this shoot and almost lost them when they got caught in a tree!

I really need to update my photography on my other websites.... this blog is the only site i regularly update. Subscribe if you havent already!

From the first shoot i ever did! (Wow what a long time ago that was...)

Reveiws and photoshoots

When i bought my ipad stylus from Dagi, they were generous enough to send me a few extra stylus' for me to review. I have the P504, P601, and P602.

P504 and P602 have the same capacitive tip, but one of them has a pen on the other end. 

 In order from left to right: P601, P504, P602. 

I gotta say, i prefer the P504 and P602 tips better. The P601 tip makes squeaky sounds, and has to be help on a certain angle.  

They are REALLY good for accurate drawing though! Just some quick silly sketch... I suck at shading. 

 

Curlformers :D Pretty sure ive been rambling on about there to anyone who will listen!

 I either sleep in them, for really defined curls, or just leave them in for a few hours. 

Btw vintage shirt i got from an opshop ^_^

 

*NONE of the following photos have been colour corrected/edited at all! Straight from the camera* 

MPC held a city workshop this weekend.  

 Matt reluctantly posing for me >:D

 Hosier and Rutledge graffiti lanes. (again)

 Heres a sneak preveiw from my shoot with Emily. None are edited. 

Tigger and bubbles

Ive been so busy lately. Ive got a TO DO list with over 30 items on it... except that each task is not "do dishes", they are "summarise lecture notes, and finish 100+ pages readings" and "complete editing for clients" and "update photography on ALL websites" and "apply for jobs" and "start and finish assignment"... and so on. Each task requires 2+ hours... and ive somehow got to finish it all today (if possible). 

Time to get cracking!

Btw, MPC headed out the Botanical gardens (again) on a particularly rainy day. 

***None are edited! (Im too lazy)***

Gil in her Tigger suit... with BUBBLES! They are such a great prop for photography. 

Bubbles = Happiness. 

CHOMP!

Wheeeeee~ 

 Dreamy~

Models: Gill (tigger) and Pearl. Thanks for modelling pretty ladies!

Ive got a whole list of blog posts upcoming. 

Some of them include...

- Emily photoshoot

- Curlformers review (if youre a chick reading, stay tuned for this one - they are amazing!)

- Winter lookbook (nothing great... just stuff ive been wearing to uni, and getting weird looks)

- iPad DAGI stylus review (if youre a designer/artist, watch this space)

- Fashion blogger photoshoot (in the near future)

Also i just want to put it out there, that this blog is the one i maintain the MOST. So if youre following my other websites (*looks pointedly at tumblr followers*), it would be a good idea to follow this blog too, for more regular updates. 

I tend to just slap a whole lot of photos on tumblr, all in one go, every few weeks, to keep it looking pretty hehehe.
