Sweat Diva – Launch Party at GPO Hotel Brisbane
On saturday night I went to the launch party of the newest active wear fashion label Sweat Diva. The launch event was at GPO Hotel in Brisbane, and featured a spectacular presentation of dance, exercise and boxing demonstrations. All of which were performed in sexy Sweat Diva clothing.
The picture above is of Carly Faragher, Erin Cash and myself. Carly is the fashion design student whom I took photos of at the Ekka races who then contacted me to do some photography for her fashion design entires at Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE.
Erin Cash is the founder and operator of Sweat Diva, I met Erin through Carly who was doing work experience at the Sweat Diva head quarters on Brisbane’s northside. I’ve been doing all of Erin’s recent photography and print design work. I will be working with Erin on creating content for her website and upcoming catalogs.
Check out photos from the launch party in my fashion photo gallery.
Sweat Diva’s range is made in Australia from high-quality pill-resistant imported Italian fabric. Sweat Diva has active wear for you to run, jump, dance, box and kick. There are also cool, comfortable and gorgeous outfits to suit low-impact excercise such as Yoga. No active-wear label would be complete without hot accessories such as hats, towels and thongs. Check out the Sweat Diva online store now to order or to enquire about stocking Sweat Diva.
The Grates Concert – The Tivoli, Brisbane
On friday night I was invited as a VIP Guest to The Grates concert. I was also given a media pass by Jhon the guitarist from the band for me to take photos. I was a guest with Cass & Lauren Brisbane who are friends with Jhon and Patience. Unfortunately I cannot post the pictures I took in a public gallery. Instead i’ve got a wonderful picture of me being extra cool and special with my guest and media wrist bands of excellence. I did feel very special.
The actual concert was awesome, i’ve never seen them live before, and I love how energetic and beautiful Patience is on stage, definitely a work of art! Oh Jhon, Dan in the panda suit and Alana also are works of art. Or are they?
I took a few photos, as with most events such as a parades and concerts, flash photography is not permitted. I took in my Canon 20D and my “nifty fifty” 50mm 1.8 II lens and shot using shutter priority mode. As much as I could I shot at 125th for a second, whilst its not really fast enough for the bouncing and pouncing of patience’s performance, its gives me enough room to get enough light into the camera at ISO 800.
Penny Bell – Moda Italia Entry
This morning I did a fashion shoot for Moreton Institute of TAFE student Penny Bell and her Moda Italia entry. Penny is a finalist for this competition which is an Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry QLD event. The final for this event is on October 11, 2006. I will be shooting at this event, expect to see some photos from that parade around that time.
