Winter in Canberra

I drive by this road almost everyday just to noticed that the scenery is quite different his year and for cause: It’s the coldest Canberra Winter that I know of, since I live here.

I couldn’t resist to the temptation to catch some of the early lights of the day.

What would be a good reason to jump out of the warm bed at 6 in the morning to drive all the way out in the cold, it was -0.5°C on a Saturday morning?

You let me know if the images below are worth the effort.

I packed a few lenses but use the 50mm f/1.7 Calr Zeiss exclusively for these shots.

Poonam & Grant – The Tuesday Hindu Wedding

I assisted to the rehearsal of Poonam & Grant’s Anglican Ceremony to day and tok a few photos.

I was about to post some up here but I am so excited about tomorrow’s Wedding that I decided to put up a few from Tuesday’s Hindu Ceremony.

What a fabulous Ceremony. I would stay up all night to edit the photos but I’d better pack and gt some sleep for tomorrow Anglican Ceremony.

Watch this space as more are coming up soon.

Aure & Sam

Last week was one of the longest one that I’ve had in a while:
From the launch of the Beaujolais Nouveau 2011, at the Alliance Francaise, on the Thursday, to a wedding location scouting session, on the Friday, then a long but awesome wedding shoot on Saturday followed by a photo shoot for a security company, shooting security staff at night clubs.
On the Sunday we had a Canberra Strobist shoot through out the day and I conclude with a shoot out at Mt Stromlo with one of my new investments: a Mola Setti, satin silver.

Not only I am a bit behind in the edits for past and up coming weddings, I wanted to share some of the images during this Mola shoot.
I had two models, Samantha, the brunette, who already spent the whole day at the Canberra Strobist shoot , and Aurelie, a gorgeous french blonde.
This shoot was set up in less than 3 days (I met Aurelie on Thursday and Sam on Saturday) which shows that real talents are always ready to go 🙂
A special thank to Kate Wal, who drove all the way to Mt Stromlo to do the make up for Aurelie. Also a mega mention to Isma Majeed, who did the make up for Sam which lasted the whole day (Kate did a bit of touch up for Sam’s lips though).

Mega thanks to all involved with a special mention to Linh, my beautiful wife for all her support in what I do.
Let’s make some rooms for some images.

L.A. the BTS

This shoot was way back in July but I didn’t really have time to edit the BTS (Behind The Scene) video.

Today I thought I’d sit down and do a quick one that I want to share.

Model: Lauren Ashley

MUA & Hair Stylist: Dave Reid
