Had a ball working with Decoda and Rhys and Jeremy on their up and coming extravaganza at ARQ, The New Trinity Show.  It was fun to see Decoda schlepped in cases of all kinds of possible accessories!  You can never have enough, hey!  Happy to say we got some great shots out of the exercise.

Norrie is deservedly in the news, and I’m happy to see my portrait of Norrie May-Welby picked up by the Guardian newspaper, appearing on the home page of the Australian version of the Guardian’s web site.  This portrait also made it as a finalist in the 2011 National Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra.

All my love on your next journey Charlotte.  It was a pleasure to meet you and work with you for a brief moment.  Very sad to hear of your passing.

A warm invitation to all to attend the opening of an exhibition of my work along side an extremely interesting exhibition of 10 contemporary Chinese Multi Media Artist, taking place in St Leonards on Saturday 22 February, 2014 from 3-6pm.  See invite below for details…….(double click on the attachments to zoom in)

I had the pleasure of shooting for George Jreige recently.  Loved the seductive range of tailored jackets and sexy, stylish t-shirts. High quality detailing and  beautiful fabrics are a hallmark of Georges work.  George is entering the fashion arena with a strong sense of style and quality after graduating in Fashion Design and working in the fashion industry.  I wish him all the best.  It was a joy working with the make-up artist, Sahra Bull, the fabulous model, Johnny Simon and my trusty assistant, Saverio Marfia.  I will post some of the finished shots of our efforts when they are released.

Shot for Benefit Cosmetics at Bondi Beach this morning……it was a fab yoga workshop featuring a lot of make-up for which Benefit are famous for!

It was a beautiful morning and everyone had a lot of fun!

 

My friend Mimi, a Bondi girl thru and thru, joined the party!

Loads of fun shooting with Liesel Badorrek and Annabel Lines for their promotional image for a new show they were performing.  We ended up with a great image.
