LONGBEACH BATEMANS BAY - Airstream Australia shoot

This shot was at the end of the afternoon shoot, we were located at longbeach for the shoot, the last frame was to be a styled and have a lovely sunset shot, when the clouds went no, and rolled in and rain was just over our shoulders. so what do you do In this situation you go as fast as you can.

Even the car had gone out with protest for all the moving around we did that day and decided that it was not going to take anymore by not going down to the tow bar! I thought cars just backed up and the tow bar and you swivel the tow bar up or down until you hook up?, but not so, fancy cars have electric riser things that make it easier to attach to a tow bar , however it has risen too high and would not come down. oh! i said ok well lets push it and quickly... go boys!

I would of helped but I had to get this awesome out take shot. haha!

this shoot was One of two shoots one focussing on the exterior and the other on the interiors to check out the interiors have a look at my other post here

BATEMANS BAY - BAY BREEZE BOUTIQUE ACCOMODATION

Split images or (diptych) offer another way to photograph and tell the story behind the room.

I have photographed Bay Breeze previously to show off their incredible penthouse apartment. This time around I did the other rooms within the complex for them to use in online marketing such as booking.com and Trip advisor in which they were ranked number 1 for some time for the Batemans Bay area. What was great was to be able to showcase the rooms in my unique split image arrangement seen on pic 2 below.

INFLORESCENCE - personal project WINTER SERIES

Inflorescence is a year long personal project that started in summer of last year.

One image "asparagus flowers" which was part of the first series was recently chosen out of nearly 13,000 entries to be in the top 201 to exhibit overseas for the annual Art of Photography Show held at the San Diego Institute of Art in October and I couldn't be more thrilled.

iPhone photo - Local coverage of the news was great.

I exhibited the first set of images at Rustic pantry in Moruya and have been hooked on continuing this project.

The final season is ahead and the winter set of images are nearly complete. I have been lucky to be able to photograph all this seasons flowers right here from our little backyard garden.

I am finding keeping to the original style of the first seasons difficult as I tend to want to modify or completely change along the way, however I have also learnt the serenity of being restricted, a nice learning curve.

Because the works are done in Black and White, for this post I wanted to share a couple of iPhone photos of the actual plants and colours of flowers.

FOOD

Running my own business now have to find I ways to keep myself focused and motivated to keep me heading towards my goals. It so easy to flounder and stay within the warm blankets of comfort.

This weeks challenge was about setting a date and a deadline to complete a project that would assist me within my business to build on my food photography portfolio. I wanted to use only what I had props wise and keep it simple and focus on the lighting.

I have done a fair amount of food work for restaurants but I wanted to explore the "dark side" a little more and so the challenge was set. You can certainly see the darkness!

Below is a shot that I took on a weekend away, I am fascinated by it! I love the dapple sunshine and the dark inky tones, slight architectural lines and the warmth of the wood that compliments the cooler tones. This shot was my inspiration for the week.
