Michael & Marina

One of the exciting projects to come out if the year was to take our engagement shoots and go a little further with them. Thanks for this goes to Phil & Nicole who had the idea of a 50's style shoot as something different. Enter Michael and Marina, absolutely stunning couple who also came with a very different idea. Unfortunately you will have to wait until after the wedding to post those photos. However some of their photos were stunning and showed the conection that they have with each other. Thanks to Michael and Marina for their effort, again much fun was had by all. I like the idea of a theme for any shoot as it adds a bit to the look of the image and it actually helps with the process of the shoot. With kids especially if you can bring props along, being toys that the kids love or "rugy" it all helps with the relaxation and how the kids respond. Here are some of the photos from Marina & Michael. Please enjoy.

Really looking forward to your wedding, it is going to be a fantastic day. Come on November.

Would like to thank both Kellie and Kelly for their input on this shoot. Any comments welcome.

Missy shoot

So we are starting to get to the end of our wedding season. Really sad because we have had some wonderful people through the studio and I will really miss not going out to the weddings every weekend. Anyway, we had a long discussion on what we can do over summer. And then Missy walked into the studio.

Thanks to Missy, we had a ball on Saturday and she was a great model.

Hailey & Clinton Portrait shoot

We posted one of Hailey and Clinton's images on "Facebook" and got such a good response, we thought we would put a few more up. Hailey and Clinton wanted the shoot at the Brewery in Townsville and the Rhino Bar where Clinton is a chef. We love the Brewery, it has the best beer in Townsville and has some of the best lighting as well. Soft light is what portraiture is all about and in Townsville this is difficult as it is often very harsh, especially during the middle of the day. A lot of our portrait shoots are done later in the day, just as the sun sets for this reason.

The Rhino Bar in Palmer Street, Townsville was a new experience for us, we had not photographed in there before. A little artificial light in the form of a video light and we produced some stunning results. The back light wall produced some interesting effects and required a little fill or reflected light to fill in the shadows. Clinton & Hailey has a bit of fun and got to be models for an hour or two.

Thanks to both the Brewery and the Rhino Bar, your facilities are fantastic, we love coming to your buildings to photograph. For enquiries about portraiture or wedding photography, please give us a call during office hours.

Body Building

The natural body building titles were held a couple of weeks ago and we were lucky enough to be asked to help with a shoot by Steve Duff. Great fun with some really good results. The boys had worked really hard to get their look so were happy to strike a pose to get some great results.

Thanks to Duff and the boys. I hope they did well over the weekend.
