Emma Wannell unleashed.

When I first met Emma, for my usual meet and greet interview, she appeared to be a reserved and almost shy young model.

The contact was immediately established between the photographer and the model.

We discussed the shoot and what to expect from each other.

I’d say that I am nicely surprised on the set by Emma’s professionalism and the way she acts as a model.

Emma needed very little direction and comply with any posing requests that I asked her for. The images speak for themselves.

Is Emma the next Miss Top Model ?

Who knows but Emma is definitely a model to watch and follow.

No more chat, let room for the images. Enjoy.

Rachelle reloaded

From a recent shoot with Rachelle Wood, during the cold in winter on top of the Mt Ainslie, in Canberra.

I started shooting Rachelle for the first time last year and immediately saw in her the potential of a growing Model.

Rachelle is very easy to work with, she is very volunteering and don’t take life too much seriously.

Modeling poses are sometimes awkward but the images have more impact and the model is put forward. It didn’t take me too long to have a good work flow with Rachelle on the set.

This is the third time that we had a shoot together and Rachelle is becoming one of my favorite models.

Room for more images.

Tag & watermark

I woke up this morning and got a very interesting email from a visitor on this blog, signed by Mr or Mrs X.

It is always nice to have your feed back and that’s why I have activated the comment feature on each post.

I didn’t have a comment on the post but actually an email so I try to answer to the email here for the interest of all.

The email mentioned about a post on this blog, related to PMA 09.

Models on the top of Canberra

Another shoot in the cold with my favorite model Rachelle and another young and talented model : Emma.

This is the second time that I shoot Rachelle during this winter. Despite the cold, both models showed professionalism and did a really good job.

Once again I put the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D700 to the test and I shot more with the Nikon than the previous shoot.

Both cameras perform beautifully but I still have my preference for the Canon for its bigger file size (more mega pixels) and the color rendition. But again, after post, one can barely tell, especially for web based sizes.

For this shoot, I had the pleasure to have the visit of my Dad. He was “responsible” for my love of photography and it was really cool to have Dad on set.

Check out the behind the scene video under the photos. The video was shot my my brother Vincent. The shoot was on Mt Ainslie in Canberra.

Enjoy.

APPA 2009 update

Just got the prints back from Canon APPA 2009.

As I mentioned in the previous post that I missed the judging of one of the prints… well it got a hounorable score of 79 out of 100, which is only at one point away from a second Silver Award for a firstimer.

That’s pretty good.

All silver and gold awards will be published in the Canon-sponsored Australian Professional Photograohy Award book which will be released next year before Canon APPA 2010. How exciting is that.

Here is the missing print, by 1 point, for that book :p

but I’ll be back for more
