A Touch of Noir

Model: Vanessa Henry

I must admit that I have a soft spot for Noir stylings. The use of light, the mix of soft and hard focus, the fashion and the overall look. There is something that is just beautiful about it. Maybe  it also goes with my love of Art Deco movement. 

The shoot with Vanessa was fun trying to emulate the look that I love. It's actually quite challenging and gave me even more appreciation of photographers and especially cinematographers that worked (and still work) with this aesthetic. 

A Portrait of Sara

Sara is the principal of Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School, Launceston. The next event is this coming Thursday. If you are in Launceston, make sure you come along and get your draw/paint/art on.

We had a fun few hours in the studio on Saturday trying out new equipment and trying not to melt in the 33 degree heat.

A Portrait of Liv

Model: Liv Foley

I met Liv when she was doing make up for Genevieve for Dr Sketchies. I asked if she would be interested in doing a shoot thinking more about working with her as a makeup artist, but it went the other way and she stepped in front of the camera. My first impression of her was Alt-Pin-up girl, and that where we went in the shoot. 

Expect to see more photos of Liv in the future as we have a heap of fun images and the world must see them.

Tasmanian Summer Sky

One of the best reasons to live in Tasmania is the sky. It's constantly changing and each season is unique, but in the middle of summer the Milky Way is above and worth taking the trip outside the city lights to see.

A Glimpse - Songs of the Siren

Model: Eve Beauregard
Suit by: Neil Pitts
Assistant: Reese Truscott
Production: Anita Holloway, Chris Rattray, David Quinn
Venue: The Royal Oak

This is just a sample of a very constructed shoot for the upcoming book Songs of the Siren featuring Eve Beauregard. 

While the above photo isn't what I call truly representative of the final product. It is glimpse of the siren part of the final image.

The shoot was the first time having a team around me with the specific goal of creating one very styled image. It features three characters, a bar and hopefully a feeling of things are just not quite right. You will need to wait until the book is out to see the final image.
