Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I’m sure you all know by now how much Dexter just adores being in the studio…he has his favourite chair (or two) and once that bowtie goes on he knows it’s action time. Well I wanted to play with the new Lensbaby Velvet 56, he really is my only willing participant as far as model…

In case you missed it I did a lovely shoot with Emily recently who is a ballerina. At the end of the shoot, still dressed in her leotard and tutu, we got a little silly, a steampunk mask, smoke bubbles and two different coloured gel lights and creepy lighting…just love how it turned out so…

I love experimenting with light in my photography, but up until recently, I have never really played with prisms, adding another element to my macro photography. I had a friend let me have a brief play with them on a recent trip to The Butterfly House, at Melbourne Zoo. Rather strange, but pleasing results, in…

This week’s WPC theme is Ambience, ambience can be uplogting or that real show stopper affect.
