This is my lovely Kylie. She’s dancing before a wedding we went to on the weekend where she was a bridesmaid.

Strobist: behind Kylie is a large window covered in curtain lace. Overexposed the background.

SB-900 with half CTO high camera right in shoot through umbrellam, 0ev.

SB-600 with half CTO back camera left in shoot through umbrella, -1ev.

Triggered with CLS.

Shot at 1/30 sec to get the dancing motion blur.

Post: clipped whites and cloned out some gaps in the white curtain background.

I took some photos for a wedding this weekend at Roma St Parkland. This is Laura and my favourite shot from the day.

Today I took some corporate style photos for the Peer to Patent project. This is Jimmy, he’s pretty awesome.

We took some photos of Ash at the Roma Street Parkland. See also Mat’s photo, which I think looks way better.

A superhero watches…

(Taken at the powerhouse again. Thanks to Ash and Farenn.)

The Count, with a bottle cap hat.

This one we took in Teneriffe; there’s a great big blue wall at Kennards Self Storage.

I think it’s my favourite photo I’ve taken yet. Kylie looks fantastic, and the colours are great. There’s a bit of a bright highlight on the right hand side which detracts slightly from K, but I’m otherwise happy with it.

Lighting info: SB-800 in Westcott Apollo 28” softbox high camera left, gelled CTO, iTTL. SB-900 15m right, zoomed 200mm, red gel, 1/4 power. Triggered by CLS with on-camera flash.

This is a picture of me. I was playing with a green light on the background to make it a bit colder, throwing some relief on the warm light at front. I used a red rim because, well, I’m not exactly sure.

I think there’s too many lights, I’m not exactly sure what the mood is here.

Also, I don’t really like taking photos of myself. This is at the powerhouse.
