"Cactus Country"

I recently shot a documentary series at 'Cactus Country' in Northern Victoria.

These are some of the images I shot on film. 

Cacti are so fascinating and intriguing to look at; and this place blew me away with the huge variety of cacti, and all the quirky ceramic statues and sunglasses on the plants.

Special thanks to Jim and Julie Hall for letting me photograph such an amazing place!

Test Shots

Just a few test shots I did of Luke, who goes to Circus School in Melbourne.

Fashion : 2011

This was my first ever fashion shoot.

I am happy with it, considering I had never done fashion before and focused on the garments.

Dog Portraits

I wanted to do a series of dog portraits.

 It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, as they moved a lot; so we had a heap of dog treats so they stayed still for a little while.

I am reasonably happy with them, but intend to do more, so watch this space!

Floral Crown

A test shoot I did with my new triggers for my flashes.

I am experimenting with different moods and styles within portraiture, and I like this very girly and pretty style.

Sunday Morning

I have wanted to use film for a while now.

These are a few images of my first time shooting on film.

I am somewhat happy with how they turned out, and am eager to attempt it again.

I love all the inconsistencies with film; especially the light leaks.

Fruit Series

A fruit series I did whilst I was in high school.

I was trialling different techniques and lighting setups.
