Learn MoreA couple of months ago I did a fashion winter-themed shoot that I have been planning for quite a while. I got some great shots out of it and lucky for you I filmed the whole thing in a series I’m calling “Start To Finish”.

Learn MoreIt was my birthday recently, thanks for your present by the way, I use it all the time! But back on to topic, I got the game Gran Turismo 5 and have been completely thrown back into being car-obsessed again. It’s been quite a while since I’ve owned or even driven a car now and I feel like and alcoholic who’s just fallen off the wagon. I LOVE driving and...
Learn MoreI’ve seen a few way to make cinemagraphs and a few of them involve copying and pasting individual video frames into seperate layers and just doing things in really round about ways. Photoshop CAN work with video now, you just need to import and then export it in a specific format and it’s MUCH faster. So enjoy this video on how to make this...
Learn MoreSo Violet had a photoshoot and interview for an upcoming project and once again we got flown to sydney. Trip from hell. Storms, both flights were delayed, planes stuck on the runway, HUGE taxi rank lines, took nearly 2 hours to get from the hotel lobby to our room at 2 am and then had to be up at 6am, no breakfast etc. etc. Typical for us, every time we got to sydney...

Learn MoreI’ve always seen advertisements for the Suzuki Night Markets on facebook, at the Queen Victoria Markets, in Melbourne brochures all over the place actually, but I’ve never thought to actually go until a friend of mine went and said the food was great.

Learn MoreMy goodness! A whole week without posts, well I have a good reason for that. Two of them actually, the first is that I took EVERYTHING off my computer, completely wiped the thing and am in the process of gradually putting things back where they belong, so that’s been keeping me busy. the second is that I got a brand spankin’ new camera! A D7000 and I’m...
Learn MoreIt’s Bargain time again! This time I have something for you Pentax people out there. I know I mostly focus on Nikon gear and touch on Canon stuff occasionally and pretty much ignore all other camera companies, but I’m trying to fix that!
