Shooting Candi

Journal Entry: Mon Sep 21, 2009, 2:50 PM
Wow, I have been mega lazy with this blog... mainly because I've been in Japan and haven't been taking portraiture.
I tried taking many landscape photos in Japan, but it's not where my talent lies.. so I wasn't happy with many of the photos I took.

I did manage to buy a few lenses in Japan. I really love the 35mm f2 I bought. It's amaaaazing. I don't think I can go back to using any other lens.. haha.

Anyway, a few days after my return I photographed Jess. She had been 7 weeks without me and was eager to start cam whoring asap! We had planned to go on location for once, but the weather was crap so we shot inside. The photos came out pretty nice.



But yesterday we done another shoot.. and we completely blew our own minds! haha.

My sister, Aleisha, done hair and makeup. She's really into that kind of stuff and actually done a professional hair & makeup course when she left high school. She done a great job on Jess, that's for sure.

Our theme was Candi Hart. Long story cut short: Jess and I are going to record a small album of ridiculous/humorous dance songs. An idea that came to life a few years ago and we've only decided to continue it now. Haha.





Today I am shooting Kelly for our band, Divine Machine. And by band I mean two-people-making-music-for-fun XD
The song we have there right now (Ice Water) is quite a bad recording.. but we have more to come soon, so if you like that kind of music please check back later.

On Saturday I will be joining the amazingly talented Renee Boyce (this.is.epic) for a shoot in the Barossa. Go check her out, she's effing talented!
I've never shot with another photographer so it shall be fun indeed.

And now for some behind-the-scenes photos from yesterday's shoot.
