Portfolio Shoot: Laura T

Recently I got approached to do some portfolio shots for model/actor Laura T. We had a nice relaxed day in studio shooting with Rebekah Banks doing Hair and Makeup. We had so much fun shooting and I just wanted to share a few of the images with you all. Laura wanted a few different looks for her portfolio before she heads overseas, so we started with some really natural looks and then did some more creative edgy fashion looks. This is hopefully going to be a regular thing for me so if you know anyone that's after some nice images to build or update their portfolio let them know.

Inspiration: Judith Bedard by Filippo Del Vita for Soma Magazine

I spend a lot of time researching on the internet, in books and in magazines for new photography and art that inspires me as a Photographer. I found this shoot today and couldn't help but share it. Truth is, less than a week ago a did a shoot with an amazing team that featured similar content to this shoot by Filippo Del Vita. If only I had seen this shoot earlier and could have used it as a reference, then maybe my team wouldn't have looked at me funny when I said I wanted a 'bondage/fetish' theme to the shoot. It's always the same though, when you want to find something, you never can. I thought this shoot was pretty cool, and I love the use of colour contrasting against the dark mysterious bondage feeling of the styling and the model. My stylist, Rebecca Flavell, did an amazing job, as did the rest of team...Can't wait for you all to see my version!

"The Fallen" - Underwater shoot featuring India Wray-Murane

This is an underwater shoot I did not so long ago featuring India @ red11. India is a surfer so was amazing under the water. I wanted the images to have a very painterly feeling to them and evoke a strong narrative. I love the effect water gives an image, it takes you to another world, it's fascinating. Styling by Maria Shans, Hair and Make up by Olga Gill.

Inspiration: Chris Nicholls for Flare Magazine

I just saw this and thought it was pretty rad. It's an editorial in the latest Flare Magazine by Photographer Chris Nicholls, featuring Catherine Dea and Katerina showing the latest winter beauty trends. I love the Retro feel to the Beauty shoot. Awesome.

Beauty Shoot: Maeghan Donnelly

These are some of my favourite images from a beauty shoot I did not so long ago of new model Maeghan Donnelly @ Red11. I teamed up again with the talented Rebekah Banks who did hair and make up. The beautiful flowers make summer feel oh so close!

"Within Arms Reach" for Bullet Magazine

I shot this editorial for Bullet Magazine titled "Within Arms Reach" featuring Rhiannon Smith @ Red 11. I worked with an amazing team and think the images really speak for themselves, they are so powerful and full of tension. Make up was done by the talented Grayson Coutts, Hair by Vladimir Moiseev and styling by Maria Shans.
