Yet another successful shoot with the lovely Amy Rossouw, and the youngest model I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Feeling really proud of what we accomplished today. Also feeling quite fortunate to constantly be able to work with such interesting and lovely human beings. 

Call It What You Will

Okay..I know what you're thinking, But believe me, I have no idea what I was doing either. Call it fashion, or call it absolutely nothing at all, call it what you will.

Interior Photography - Church

Evening,

So this week, I missioned to every church in and around Cape Town for my architecture & interior assignment, because I was determined to shoot a church. I ended up going to five different churches, each with their own unique interiors. The last church however had me in awe, It was such a humbling experience to shoot in. here is just a preview of what the interior looked like. 

Good morning folks, some more of Friday's beauty shoot. All opinions and crits are welcome.

Portfolio work - Texture 1 of 3

Good morning friends, So yesterday, on my off day,I decided to get my lazy ass out of bed and do something productive, so I missioned to college to get started on some shoots for my end of year exhibition and book. I decided to start off with a beauty shoot with a beautiful young lady with the most defined cheek bones I ever did see. Once again I was so fortunate to work with such a lovely,patient group of people. Thanks again to Amy Roussow for being such a gem. Here is a preview of what We got up to yesterday. 

Model: Nadene Wickens

Abstraction is one of the greatest visionary tools ever invented by human beings to imagine,decipher and depict the world. Abstraction is real,
probably more real than nature.

Road trips, wrong turns, and other shenanigans.

Over the last few days I've been hiking, sleeping in tents and cars,complaining,swimming in rivers, complaining, making new friends, and funny enough not taking that many photos documenting my events. I did however take a few which will show more or less the beauty and wonder of Algeria.  Its completely off the map, and I do mean off the map....we couldn't even find it on our Irish GPS. This has been the first time I've been camping after who knows how many years. 

I cannot begin to explain how wonderful it felt to be off the map, and not know what the time or date was, to not be able to make contact with anyone from the outside world, to just get lost in the beauty that surrounded us. I am pleased to say that I've learnt a couple of things while camping. Firstly I've learnt that I'm too fat and undisciplined to go hiking, or climbing, or walking for that matter.. I've learnt that camp fires really do bring people together and you don't need reception to connect with the people around you, and I've spent a lot of time with a few strange people I'm happy to call friends.

Spring is when life is alive in everything.
