It was windy and very bright perfect conditions for a backlit photoshoot on the banks of Tuggerah lakes.

Robyn

If you haven’t noticed by now, that I get a lot of my inspiration from old master artists. This portrait of Robyn was inspired by the renaissance period.

Made on a D3, with a 70-24mm lens set to f20 at 1/5th of a second.

I made this picture late yesterday afternoon down at Toowoon Bay. While I was shooting it a lady behind me was using her phone to make a picture of the rough seas that were there, trust me it was rougher than it looks here. This was shot between swells. Anyway she says to me It’s not very good for photography because theres too much white water, I just smiled and carried on. What I wanted to say was. It’s not cameras or phones that make a photograph but an artist. Someone who sees something another might overlook. And as far as a photographer is concerned, someone who has the technical skills to make a picture. You see I saw the colours in between the white bits. Which reminds me, I have this really nice pen my wife bought for me, made of gold I it like very much, so now I’m going to show everyone I can write as good as William Shakespeare:)

This is my mam, she is going to hate the fact I have stuck this up but if you have a brother who sends you images from his phone, why not use it. It is spelled right I’m Welsh so Mam is spelled that way.  Although it’s not mothers day in the UK it is here so I had better play along. But Happy mothers day to all those Aussie mothers who read this.

A lovely dress

It's always a pleasure to photograph a lovely dress

I’m back on line after a few days off. So here is a little treat if you missed me:)

Born at 29 week and weighing in at a whopping 790g and 1339g, two of the cutest munchkins I will have the pleasure of photographing for the next 12 months. I was supposed to start this on their birthday but they decided to come early and give mum and dad a little bit of something to worry about, they were only allowed out of hospital the other week, especially James, (I think), who had to have an operation. This is their fourth month. But now he’s fighting fit and already giving instruction when he needs feeding and changing. Those of you who were readers of my old blog will know that I photographed their oldest sister Grace for her first year from, 2010 – 2011 and that was great fun. While I was photographing the boys she drew me a picture, I told her I would stick it to my fridge.

Geoffrey and James play hide and seek.

Grace giving out her love.

Until the boys are big enough Grace is going to take care of them

Grace's drawing for me.

I have two favourite's from the shoot, this is one of them.

If your interested in having, A Year in The Life, of your new born or maybe slightly older child, then having a beautiful A4 coffee table bound book at the end of it give me a call. Just a word though about my approach. I dont do those shots where they wear flower pots on their head. My approach is one of a documentarian, and not forcing little ones into something their not. If thats what your vision is of your children then please go to the shopping centre photographers, I’m sure they will look after you.

Remember what I was saying on Monday about looking. Well here are three things I found while out working the other day. I decided to shoot them on a white seamless paper with just the afternoon light that lights up my garden every afternoon. I thought they were interesting to look at with so many tones of colour or in the case of the burnt piece of wood, texture. I shot it on white as this would show them off the best. If you think it’s easy to come up with a pleasing composition with something like this try it yourself. It’s a fun exercise. Remember you cant take a light reading through the camera as the very bright white paper will give you the wrong reading.
