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.
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.

2006 Moda Italia – Moreton Institute of TAFE Fashion Design
I was invited yesterday to take some photos of the premilinary judging at the 2006 Moda Italia, Moreton Institute of TAFE fashion parade. My friend Carly and from what I can tell her friends there all made it to top 20 and the final judging in October to win a scholarship at a design school in Italy.
This was a new experience for me, shooting with a Digital SLR and external flash on moving subjects at night. It’s much different from portrait and wedding photography where you can control the subject’s movement. After reviewing the photos, most of them looked slightly blurred, or seemed out of focus. I was shooting at ISO400 at around f2-4. I would have thought that with the flash that I could shoot basically as fast as I wanted, but that wasn’t the case.
Most shots are under a 40/sec, which means that any movement whatesoever is going to blur. You will see that some of the “better” shots which don’t show that blur, the model held her pose longer than usual. Whilst others were speedy gonzalas’. Anyways, I possibly should have gone to ISO800 but i really dislike that noise it produces at that sensitivies. BUT, it is better than blurred photos.
Anyways, check them out for yourself here
AGForce Wool & Leather Fashion Parade – Brisbane Ekka
Some photos taken on the final day of the AGForce Wool & Leather Fashion Parade are now in my photo gallery. I went to get pics of the parade in the Coffee Club pavilion but they were too pompus and didn’t allow me to shoot. I shall not drink coffee at the coffee club for being mean to me. Instead I will drink instant coffee at the wonderful offices at AGForce.. if they have offices, maybe its home made tea in a shed- i’d much prefer that knowing they will let me take a photo.
