Julie Powell – Photographer & Graphic Artist
Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
It’s been a while since I did any real commercial styled product photography, lots of still life, lots of food and lately loads of portraits, but not much actual product photography. I was recently asked to run a class on just that, here are some images from the prep beforehand… ~ Julz

I keep telling myself eight more days of work, just eight days! Then I an on holidays for nearly three weeks! The weather has been improving, although we are in for a scorcher today, 37°C expected today. Had a super fabulous weekend, with a slight crimp in it…my dishwasher died. It was old so I…

What do they say “it never rains, but it pours” about suddenly getting an overabundance of something you wish for?

Meanwhile lots of wine (for medicinal reasons) and pain killers for me.…

I mentioned previously I had bought these great orange ranunculus flowers and had done some light painting with them, but I could not resist some pretty still life as well. As they kept quite well (in a bucket of water) I shot these several times over a few days. Getting something soft and dreamy, but…

I sadly had my back go on me again, so spent most of the week and weekend crippled and not doing a lot. Massages have helped dramatically. I have been perhaps spending too much time on the PC, but edits, writing articles and other commitments have kept me there, I know I should get up…
