It’s been a hectic couple of months, but so enjoyable!
We’ve held a boudoir-a-thon, converted our apartment into a photographic studio and embraced nature! We’ve reduced one of our customers to tears of joy, and another says the whole experience has changed her outlook on life!
In October we will run a competition for you to win a boudoir session (for you and a friend) worth over $2000, to include full pampering!

Here’s a little taster…

Attended a great seminar in San Francisco on creative use of on-camera flash with Neil van Niekerk. I love using natural light, but a professional photographer should be able to get the highest quality shots from any environment – so effective knowledge and use of flash is a must. (For me, effective flash shots are those where the viewer can’t tell flash was used…)
Here’s a few pics of Bethany, one of the great models, that I worked up in Photoshop. Couldn’t resist putting a few texture layers on the one shot just off Union Square!
Some of these outside shots used a Canon 580 flash bounced off a near-by building (say 15′ away) for effective fill-flash. Complete eye-opener!
An excellent session – opened my eyes to the use of on-camera flash and all things tupperware
I’ll be making gels, foamie-things and practicing the techniques. Thanks Neil!





Love making grungy images!
