Photoset: Gold Coast Beach Shoot with Amy O’Farrell

November 19th, 2009


On the 14th November I had a shoot with the awesome Amy O’Farrell. Special thanks to Jenny Ockenden the Make-Up Artist and also to Raymon Suen for assisting with the shoot. Shot was taken place at Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Particularly at Miami Beach. I used a Nikon D700 with the Nikkor 50mm 1.8D and 85mm 1.8D. My Nikon D90 is still in the repair shop (Mental note: Don’t ever use Camera Clinic again for repairs, it takes 4 weeks to get them to LOOK at it, and I’ve recently found out they only ship once a week which is just ridiculous). Strangely I found the D700 to have pretty bad ergonomics around the grip. I blame it on Raymond for showing me his Canon 30D, the grip on that body is amazing. Enjoy the photos…

Enjoy. There Will be more coming. As Always, I will appreciate any C&C.

Photo5 Entry – Portraiture 2009

October 30th, 2009

I’ve been wondering for a long time whether I should upload and share my attempts for the Canon Photo5 competition. Finally, I couldn’t hold it any longer cause these images were so fun to make! I just hope no one is stupid enough to steal these ideas. Hope you guys like it and if you have lots of money, ask me for the judge’s contact details so you can send them a bribe on behalf of me. You can see my entry on the entries page here

Here are the ones that didn’t make the cut..
I really liked these images as well but it didn’t have the same aura of the first photo.

If you are also entering the competition, good luck! I hope you all loose. Give me my 5DmkII plzkthxbye.

Michael.

Building a Home Studio Strobist Style

September 16th, 2009

Studio BackdropI’ve always wanted a studio but have always put it off just cause they usually involve in me opening my wallet and handing it over to someone else. But my spending spree habit couldn’t be held back any longer. I’ll go in great detail on how you can make a proper home studio on a small budget that will make you look like you know what you are doing. Luckily with the help of my parents who live overseas, I was able to get some very cheap lighting props, but I’ll talk about that later on.
