Night Photography

Melbourne girl up in Sydney @ririchix

I have long followed the portrait photography of Melbourne based photographer Peter Coulson. I recently joined a night-time flash photography workshop of his up here in Sydney.

Great to meet him in person; to learn a few techniques and styles with new gear, and uproot some of the old myths, assumptions and even bad habits that many of us are guilty of falling into. Refreshing to actually un-learn a bit, and just play with a fresh approach to shooting.

You still get the odd rainy day in the middle of summer here, so for me, a great time to get back in the studio. 

I was remarkably lucky to meet two lovely, and very humble women in the last couple of weeks...our model (who doesn't even model?!) Kate Powell, and makeup artist Lorella Giannini. None of us knew each other before this shoot... but I think we made a great little team. Thanks again to both of you - so stoked with the results!

Hazel Spencer Chapman

Natural light portrait of @hazelinanutshell

Stoked I got the chance to do a shoot with West Country surf chick Hazel Spencer Chapman just before she left Australia on her travels through Sri Lank & India, and home to the UK. A talented designer, an adventurer, and water woman at heart....she'll be missed by her friends in Bondi! New surfing and motorcycle adventures from her to come on @thelittlerocket

All natural light with the help of some ideal white wall pillars to bounce some of that lovely light around…

A quick beach-side coffee one week turned into a shoot the next with Santina at the local skate park. Blues on blues was the theme for this shoot…
