Haven't posted anything here in AGES! ...chalk it up to work, holidays, and general laziness. New year brings a new studio space shared in town with a couple colleagues, so time to have fun and play around with studio shoots...portraits and fashiony stuff. Some shots from the first full shoot in studio. You may recognize Bex but she's gone back to brunette again. Styling by my friend Jacki. Hair and makeup I haven't gotten the names of the girls yet.
...maybe more to come...
Last minute shoot for local Actor Ben Fransham.
I wanted to try some outdoor lighting techniques with some new gear so I asked my friend/model Renee if she'd like to help me out by sitting for me. Since she'd be my muse for the day we decided to go the extra step to make the images at least useful for her portfolio, so we went out to a couple shops in town that let me borrow stuff...thanks I Love Paris and Moochi :)
The weather didn't cooperate though so we ended up staying indoors and just played around with the gear in other setups.
Pics from vacation...my one week stopover in LA en route from Miami back to New Zealand. Hanging out with my Canadian peeps south of the border...and an honourary Canuck named Johnny. A lazy and relaxing week of yoga classes, Baja Fresh, a bit of shopping, photowalks, a hike through Solstice Canyon in Malibu, and a day at the beach. 
Walt Disney Concert Hall, Downtown LA.
Solstice Canyon hike, Malibu. In the middle of the canyon was this huge burned out property with lots of eccentricities like a waterfall feature and shrine of the Immaculate Mary. I didn't get to read the plaque that described the owner and the house...maybe I'll google it.
Don't ask me why Alex is patting John's bum...cause I don't know...and I don't wanna know either...
John doing his favourite Sailor Moon impersonation?
It's like a Toyota commercial :)
