Great Still life Project

Jessica Hanson, stylist who works for  Australian House and Garden Magazine asked if I would collaborate on a project she is working on. Here are some of the images.

Speaking of the Great Southern land

I had a friend try to hitch a ride.. on of the most dangerous spiders in Australia.

Give me a home...

Among the gum trees. 
Classic Australian yard- gum tree, obligitory swing, shed (although this one is quite up-market) and rain water tank.
Or, you could have the alternate dream- the pool, the palm and floatation device.
the choice is yours my friends.

Just another day (or three) at the office

More beauty stills, with a slightly different lighting/ table top set up from a previous post.
I really believe it doesn't matter how many times you shoot anything you can always improve the way you do. Its all about tweaking.

Budgie Smugglers

Leila Jeffries, a friend whose personal project is to photograph birds, initially Budgerigars, called on me for advice with lighting and implementation. Leila used a box to photograph the birds in which after two shoots is still in revised prototype stage. The photo shows the beautiful birds in the box behind some Lee Diffusion. I'll post an entry when her exhibition is coming.
