Creative lighting tutorial – Ghostly Visage

Creative photography / Lighting / Model photography / Nude / Tutorials

Ok, before I get stuck into the tutorial I’ve got a quick challenge for those of you photographically minded: have a look at the shot, look at the shadows and have a guess yourself at what lighting setup I used, then read on to see if you are right! The reason I thought I’d do a quick lighting tutorial on this particular image here as it’s probably the number one image I get asked about in terms of technique used in the lighting setup. These questions often come with explanations of attempts made or theories as to what the setup was. I’ve had every theory under the sun thrown at me, some with up to 6 lights coming from...

Shoot with Nardia – 21st November 2011

Model photography / Nude / Photography

A couple weeks ago through an unfortunate set of occurrences I ended up meeting a couple pretty cool people.  One is the model in this shoot, who ended up being a substitute called in at the last second when things went awry with the first model. The other being Ian Barclay, the excitable Scottish bloke who is himself a decent snapper, model Psychologist, impassioned shirt connoisseur (trust me, you don’t want to wear a Hawaiian shirt in front of this guy) and finally the owner of the resort these images were shot at. The beautiful Serene Sands Health Resort. He even came to pick us up in the morning when the taxi driver didn’t know the way and we ended up reversing back... Read More »

Beck in the snow – 19th August 2008

Model photography / New Zealand / Nude

When Beck contacted me a few weeks back to tell me she was going to be in NZ for a week and was keen to shoot I was dubious to say the least.  Thing is I’ve had a couple bad experiences with Beck pulling out on shoots we had organised previously, however she seemed very sincere in her desire to shoot & it’s always good to give people 2nd chances when you can.  Well she exceeded all expectations, it was a cold morning with temps hovering around -5 to -10c and I can hardly recall a single complaint out of her.  The last shot of this set was just shot as a pisstake and I think it’s good for...

An afternoon with Soph – 15th June 2008

Fashion photography / Model photography / Nude

I always grab every oppurtunity I can to work with Soph and so when she was up in Brisbane recently for a few days of work I did just that.  We had some makeup artist issues with a late cancelation but Carla came to the party and all ended well.  After we finished up with the car shots we filled ourselves up with an awesome homecooked meal (thanks Anne!).  The goal for the evening then was just to fit in a bunch of different beauty looks in a fairly short shoot (about 3hrs from makeup start to last shot). Model : Soph Make up : Carla   Read More »

17th March 2007 Bart & Dee Photoshoot (part 1)

Fashion photography / Model photography / Nude

Bit of a delayed posting this one but better late than never.  I’ve decided to start adding images and a bit of background info for model shoots to this blog, flesh it out a bit when I’m not travelling. First a word on the models, what a pair!  Bart has been at me for quite some time now (he says about 2 years and I’m not arguing with him) for us to do a shoot together and I’d previously had a very successful shoot with Dee & we were both keen to work together again.  So when the two decided to do a shoot together in Brisbane it worked out great for all of us. Bart actually drove up... Read More »

Silver Soph – 15th August 2007

Creative photography / Fashion photography / Model photography / Nude

Well it’s still a couple weeks until I start traveling and using this blog for its intended purpose so I figure I may as well throw in a few shots here and there as I get them edited.  Here are a couple pics from a shoot I did about a year ago with the scrabble genius Soph (yeah it’s taken me this long to get them edited – I’m slack ok?) The setup for this shoot was an overhead bar above and behind Soph with two large pieces of silver sheer cloth hanging from it and a black backdrop behind them.  Lighting was 3 strobes in total, one to each side of and behind Soph (bare bulb) and another...
