May's Uni Project

Here's the work I did for my last uni project. The concept was on "Time and Place".
This collection was a look at the memories of times in our lives that we are reminded of when we re-visit the places that they happened.

Besides some colour correction, none of these images have been altered.

Big ups to my lovely models Katherine and Grace; and the other models who aren't as lovely but still beautiful in their own right, Tim, Jesse, David, and William for helping out =)

FINALLY I HAVE ROOM TO UPLOAD ON FLICKR!

When i get some more cash i will upgrade my account =)


Also, exciting news!
Just bought my ticket to Asia!! At the end of the year i'll be hitting up Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan with some homies =)
Hopefully will score some lovely pics =D

Til next time, peace out and much love to you and yours =)

Sexy AND with awesome pose knowledge and artistic ideas, really made my job a whole lot easier!
Thanks Mia!!!

Yeah that's our logo baby! I'm currently just playing around with the layout of the watermarked stuff. If you see one u like in particular or any ideas then please let me know =)

If you check out the full-res version of this image (http://www.flickr.com/photos/30411179@N03/3491026578/sizes/l/in/photostream/) I swear there's some freaky green UFO things above the smoke!

The lovely model of the evening, Vik!

This shot is my favourite one from last month. A lot of playing with my speedlite gave us this awesome monstrosity =)
If you look closely you'll see something cool on the headstone ;)

Well that's all from me for now.
I'll keep shooting and I hope you keep checking out all my work =)

Feather Photography and Design Logo Complete!

Yes, yes y'all!
It's been in the works for a couple of months now, Tim, Grace, William and myself have been bouncing ideas back and forth to try to come up with a logo and a logotype to represent us and Feather to the public. Finally we're completed it and I am now extremely proud to bring you the new logo and logotype of Feather Photography and Design ©

I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing or neither, but you dear reader might also draw a similarity between our logo and those of some Adobe products. However in all honesty we took no inspiration from Adobe in our design and only realised the similarities upon completing the logo. With a feather though, anything vectored would draw reminders of the CS2 logo, that can't be helped. And the F was taken from our logotype so I think it's quite justified =)
Either way, every single aspect of our logo and logotype originates solely from our own imaginations.

Be sure to check out our website when it's up in a few weeks at http://www.featherphotography.com.au

Shots From April 2009

Tim (check him out here: http://timbo400.com )can catch pigeons!
For this shot I was trying out a technique I learned from my mate Jimmy (check him out here: http://astarphotos.blogspot.com/ ) with a few of my own ideas thrown in - just a bit of mucking around really.




These next few shots were taken at the end of a shoot for a uni project with my friend William (aka Humga). We were just playing around with some frozen motion stuff. (Let me tell you, as cool as my shoes are they really suck for landing jumps in.)

Earlier in the day there was a wonderful breeze blowing through that provided us with some awesome shots of my friend Grace in her dress.
(Personally, I love windy days.)

This shot is simply a little play around with my homemade snoot. Unfortunately I'm too poor at the moment to be able to afford Pocket Wizards so it's just a lame mounted flash for me for now.

And I'm still keeping up my portrait practicing - gotta impress them potential clients right?! ;D
So here's my friends Chris and Celia just chilling at Timbo's crib

And here's a self portrait of me for a uni project

And that's my stuff for the month =)
I would have had it up sooner except i went over my monthly limit on Flickr and I'm too poor (i mentioned my poverty before) to afford the US$24.95 pro upgrade =(
Will take donations tho =D

Playing With Studio Lighting (2009.04.11)

My mate Humga borrowed some studio lights from uni so we trotted along to David's house and took some photos!
Mostly playing around with lighting and then some fast-shutter work

Big ups to Humga for the lighting, David for the location
and Sarah for the modeling!

Sarah is a hairdresser who's aspiring to be THE GREATEST EVER up-stylist for weddings and all that jazz, so holler if u want to get ur hair did


Updates for Feather Photography and Design:
We've sourced another man to get our website up as the last one was rather difficult to contact.
Our mate Michael says he can have our site up and running within two weeks so hopefully there will be no dramas and that will be the case =)
Once the site is up, we'll get our business cards made up and REALLY begin pushing our business.
Let me know if you are in need of some high class photographers =)
