Yvette does Steampu.. no, cyber, no, goth

Oh I don’t know what it is, but I had the pleasure of doing a shoot with Yvette a few weeks back and finally got chance to take a look at the results. We were supposed to head to the old tram sheds at Glebe, but in what shouldn’t have come as a surprise they’ve been sold off to developers to be turned into expensive apartments. So we ended up in a storm drain instead! It was originally supposed to be steampunk, but it ended up, as, well, retro-cyber-goth?

Here’s the first one off the camera. More to follow…

Theivery Corporation @ The Enmore Theatre

The fact its 3 weeks since I took these pictures is I think an accurate representation of how stupidly busy I’ve been the past month or so. Aaaannnyway, Thievery Corporation were in town, with a full band as well as two guys pushing buttons. Made for a great show. Couple of pics on Flickr or on Facebook…

NextMen @ Oxford Art Factory

I got to shoot at the Oxford Art Factory last Friday (15th July). Headlining were The Nextmen (http://www.thenextmen.com/), a couple of guys from my sort-of hometown Cambridge in the UK. Couldn’t turn that down then! Great set, great crowd; have a listen to some of their material.

Pictures are up on InTheMix, Flickr or Facebook if that’s more your thing.

Modeling with Jill

I had a fun afternoon with Jill down at the old  Glebe Tram Sheds.  Check out the excellent guide on the link if you’re interested in going down there yourself. I found you just had to scooch under the front gate on a Saturday. There were at least 3 other photo shoots going on and some spray painting.

You’ve probably seen these before in fashion/art students/photos from other weirdos like me as it’s a photogenic place with interesting areas to shoot portraits in. Lighting is a bit tough but its worth the effort.

I’ve added the better ones to Flickr:

Doof Pirates 2011

I got chance to shoot some photos at a bush party this weekend. A good opportunity for some good times and to try shooting in hard lighting conditions.

If you picked up my card, I’ve got a bunch more photos to get through, but for now I’ve put a few up on Facebook.

Most of the photos are now up on my Flickr page. If you need hi-res copies, let me know.

Whale Beach

After reading Brent Pearson’s excellent guide to coastal photography locations around Sydney, I headed over to Whale Beach late one afternoon in the hope of getting a few shots of the Devil’s Cauldron (a steep walled inlet in a rock plateau that gets some interesting tidal surges) in as the sun went down. The eastern coast is better suited to sunrise, but early mornings are against my religion. Fortunately the headland around Whale Beach has some northern facing aspects so you can catch some of the late afternoon sun.

I did manage to get a few shots of the Devil’s Cauldron itself, but with the light being a bit flat I might try this again on an early morning. Looking north though from the headland next to Whale Beach I did manage to get a few shots that I put into a panorama. Worth a visit if you’re up that way.
