Photoshoot, Pregnancy and Birthday Bub.

This is a collection of 2 photo shoots. The first set is a pre pregnancy photo shoot that I did for a friend of mine whom was due in a month or so (Ironically she had the baby the next week) The setting was at our local beach along the clifftops. It was all her choice, I wanted them to direct what they wanted the photo's as and I would attempt to capture them as they wished. That's generally how I like to photograph, according to the models wishes and attempt to capture and visualize the meaning of it. The photo's have been edited into a sepia tone. Other than that these are clean cut natural photo's from the scene and setting.

The next set were taken about a year later but instead the model is now the little bundle that came into the world known as Cleopatra. Gorgeous and full of spirit, charming and intelligent for her age, inquisitive and active. The setting for this shoot was at a botanical garden where we traversed around whilst Mum got to pick area's that she seemed to like and want to see. Much the same as before I am the medium for the wishes of the models they state what they want and how they want it and I go about trying to achieve it beautifully for them. Unlike the couple shoot these ones have not been edited in anyway at all. It's natural lighting and setting that I was lucky enough to capture on a beautiful day in a beautiful place with a stunning little bub.

Bringing it Back.

So this blog was created as an external way of representing my journal in Studio Art at Uni. Didn't really much like the idea of it and I kinda held back a bit from the idea of it all.
However seeing as things have changed I feel like taking ownership and displaying my art the way I want to.
Generally the lecturer and teachers I've had in Art and Photography weren't keen on my directions. Taking photo's and editing them in an artistic style through Photoshop Or creating a poster with an inspiring type quote. Ah well, can't please em all can we?
My new lecturer however has envisioned my direction and is probing me to continue in that way.
I'd start by telling my interests but y'know what? I'll explain it all in the blog that I write about it.
I'm doing things my way.

So here's some motivational images that I found over the past for now just to bring light to my direction and pay homage to iconic figures and quote etc.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these photo's or quotes! I have merely found them scattered through out the web. 

This one actually I did create. The quote comes from Pirates of the Caribbean and describes the relationship of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in one sentence. I just loved it because I believe it's statement. So I searched for scroll type background and printed the text on it.

It doesnt always have to but I love the implication behind it. The meaning and message. There are no limit to Art. 

Total coffee addict. Two cups a day. No regrets.
