I’ve just uploaded the Swimwear photos I took from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival 2009. These were taken on Day 1 at Portside.

Some of the photos took a little editing to remove some of the shadowing caused by the harsh sunlight directly above.

You’ll be the first to know about my brand new fashion website being launched at the end of October! Yay!

I’ll give access to a whole bunch of fashion tips, podcast interviews and latest photos!

Last night I took some fashion photography at the MSIT Fashion – Modaitalia Preliminary Judging. This is the first round of the Modaitalia event which will conclude next month.

65 entries were on display with only 20 of these going through to the final. After which, one lucky student will be chosen to do a summer course at Polimoda a famous italian fashion house in Italy.

It’s basically been one year since I first did a fashion parade photo shoot at MSIT, and check out my fashion category to see the difference in both the parade production… and my photo quality! Astounding in both instances! Last years pics here.

Congratulations to the 20 students that went through! I’ll see you at the final in October.

I did a fashion photography shoot up at Buderim on the Sunshine Coast a couple of weeks ago for my new friend Katie Gannon from Mother Maria. I also did some photos for Katie’s sister Krista from Australian Flavour.

The shot above was a spontaneous shot where the model Phoebe was standing there keeping warm from the cool breeze through the trees. The lighting and composition was already set and I had to just take the shot. If you have a look at the gallery you will see that there is another version where you can see the sun peek through the trees. I like them both equally.

The location was at a park at Buderim, with some great big trees all lined up and it gave some really interesting (and hard to work with) lighting. I used an external flash bounced off a reflector board most of the day to give just enough fill whilst still allowing natural lighting.

I use my Canon 5D and a 85mm 1.8 Lens most of the day and I was able to get some really sharp photos, particularly when the sun went down and we were getting some shots outside of the park and in the playground and in front of the trees. The shot above is an example of that.

The photo above is with both models at the end, and Katie next to me on the left and her sister Krista the right in the photo.

It was great working with these girls, they made it a fun day to shoot and it’s great getting to know Katie and Krista.
