NOMAD PHOTOGRAPHY | Canberra Portrait and Wedding Photographer
Canberra Event Wedding Fashion & Editorial Photography
Winter is settling in in Canberra and the Wedding season is almost over.
I then turned to my second passion for photography: Fashion.
From an event and wedding “profile”, I do prefer shooting outdoor, event for fashion photography and here in Canberra, we do have some amazing locations to shoot.
For these various shoots, I mainly use Profoto lighting gears and alternated Hasselblad H4D40 with Canon gears (5D2, 1D4) and Nikon gears (D3s, D3x).
I also used a couple of C.Buff products including Alien Bees B1600s and Einstein with VBII and Mini Lithium battery packs.
Check out more of these models on www.nomadmodels.com.au
Following the first post for TAG, here comes the BTS (Behind the scene) video before the shoot.
I used a Nikon D3s, with continuous timing capture of 1fps. The lens is the Nikon 14-24 AFS – G. The camera was set on medium JPEG with an ISO of 3200. Images have been cropped in the video. I use iMovie to make this basic video.
Thanks again to all the models, the two make up artists Claire Warmenhoven and Elicia Ringuet and the hair stylist Bianca Pezzella (www.biancanerohairboutique.com)
Special thanks to Lyndell Roberts for assisting me for this shoot.

The last project for my 2010 Season before heading off for some holidays with my Family.
For this project, I wanted something a bit different and with new faces, people that I didn’t have an opportunity to work with …. well most of them as for this shoot I called back Sam (from my M for Mola shoot) and Katie whom I shot for a bridal magazine back to the end of November.
So what is TAG about ?
TAG stands for …
T for Ted’s Canberra. Special thanks to Greg, store manager Canberra, for lending me a Nikon D3x for this shoot, as I wanted to compare the pixels to my Canon 5D Mark II.
A for Alliance Francaise. Special thanks to Philippe, director of the Alliance Francaise in Canberra (www.afcanberra.com.au), for letting my use the premises for this shoot.
G for …. Guess where I got my inspiration looking at their behind the scene shoot for their 2010 campaigns. Of course we don’t have the same budget with the same team but I think we managed to pull out something decend.
On the side, I am also a huge fan of TAG (Heuer) watches as I have a few of them myself, so this project is a little bit more personal than my previous ones.
While we are in the confidence, I approached GUESS in the Civic and asked for some outfit for this shoot…
The brand being global and their commercial shoots are planned way a head and it is not to be shot in Canberra … (not yet) so we ended up using some of the models gears.

I had a shoot this afternoon with Tamsin and I must say that I was blown away by the model.
As I always do, I met Tamsin during the week for a meet and greet chat about the shoot and what I had in mind.
Tamsin appeared as a very reserved young lady, almost shy, but willing to do her best for the shoot.
Well, I knew a bit about Tamsin before meeting her and knew what she was capable of but I’d say that I was blown away at the photo shoot.
I am a full time flash shooter and use several flashguns intensively. With Tamsin, I didn’t need the light. She was the light.
The session started a bit in a mess with the flashguns not getting in sync with the radio poppers and also, once again, it was an outdoor shot and it was freezing.
Hummm… It took me a while to set the lights up, while Tamsin was standing in a light business suit (that was the theme of the shoot, by the way) and I had to warm up the session before the model got frozen.
Anyway, here are a few images of the afternoon shoot (more to come soon).
