Piercings

Justyn got in touch with me the other day as he wants some photos taken of his skin piercings.  The photos will be used for a poster for the shop he frequents to have these procedures.



Some of you will remember my photoshoot of Justyn from a couple of years ago. He is a very versatile model and so easy to work with. 




As far as the piercings are concerned, I can only say...'to each his own!'

Justyn

Justyn rang me  the other day to ask if I would take some more photographs of him.. He had just had a new haircut. He is very photogenic as you can see. c

Web design

Well it seems I have become a web designer overnight as well as a photographer!!   I am going to stick a poster  in my window and see if I get any responses. I designed a rather nice poster for this purpose. Tamara at Officeworks printed it up for me for $15.


In the end I gave  it to Justyn when I went to ask Rachael if I could post it in my studio window.  So I will have to get another tomorrow.
Rachael is thrilled to bits with the photos, and they really are quite good I think…better than I could have hoped for.  It is the lighting that seems to make the difference. I am going to have fun experimenting.
Rachael is working  around the corner in a retirement village and she put my name forward to develop a website for the growing complex. 
I have made a few over recent years, or helped friends to make their own.  Ben had bought me the software years ago… probably seven years.   I was a bit hesitant to go online at first, but once I got going there has been no looking back.
The days just get busier and busier and I don’t know how I am going to get everything done!  In the back of my mind is a little voice nagging me about what I will show at my next solo exhibition and I have been trying to sort that out.   I would really like to show the digital works on paper with the figures I have made using the panorama settings.  I am going to try to select  up  to ten good images.
But I must get on with the website first. It will mean some welcome dollars for me.
Till soon    C xx

Justyn’s photo shoot

I have just had a most exciting day. My  friend Rachael had asked me to do some portfolio shots for he son Justyn.
I have known Justyn and Rachael for about 12 years now. Rachael has become a very dear friend. You will remember that I wrote about Rachael’s obsessions a few postings back.
Early in the morning I went to Bunnings and purchased a couple of lights to try out  for this photo shoot.


In the morning session I couldn’t use the lights as they needed assembling.  I managed to put them together for the late afternoon photo session.
I have attached a few files for you  to see.  I was delighted with the results.  Let me know what you think.                   C  xx

Adel

I spent most of yesterday photographing Adel in a petticoat my Friend Rachael had loaned me.
I got some terrific shots and  spent a quiet evening at the computer.
Today I have Justyn coming by for a photo shoot.  I will try to pick up some lights this morning …I’m sure Bunnings will probably have something. I will tell you how it went this afternoon.
No calls from Gatakers, so all must be well.
