Blue Mountains Photographer: 'HungerGames in the Blue mountains' ?

Inspired by the 'The HungerGames' serie books (which I read them all)... but when the movie came out, it looked nothing like what i have imagined...  I guess I somewhat... glamourised it a bit and added a touch of my own :)... One of my friend calls these shots 'The Pocahontas serie' so to show that we all interprete things in a different way.

Taken back in January but we had the worst weather/summer of all.  Litterally cold, freezing, windy and... raining !! Did only few shots and we had to pack up.  Those are some of my fav. What do you think ?

Inspire' par les livres des 'HunterGames'... mais lorsque le film est sorti, y'avait absolument rien a voir avec ce que j'avais imagine'... Je suppose que j'ai plus ou moins glamorise' un peu la chose et rajoute' ma petite touche personnelle :)... une de mes amies appelle ce shoot 'La serie Pocahontas' ...pour dire que... on interprete tous les choses differemment.

Prise en Janvier ou on a choisi le plus pire des jours ! Il faisait froid comme pas possible, du vent et en plus...il pleuvait !! Qlqs prises et on a ensuite du tout ranger.  Celles-ci sont qlqs unes de mes prefere'es... qu'en pensez-vous ?

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'SallyNouveau' at the Ironfest 2011

ohh... I know... you've read it right !! Ironfest 2011 !! I am so behind with my post but must say that it's because I didn't know Sally's name then, and because I found her recently on Facebook (because I also joined Facebook few months ago).  Have finally allowed myself to show those pics of Sally.

She is such a gorgeous girl to photograph (and I'm sure everyone has photographed her as well :)... love her exotic beauty, her costume and with a touch of steampunk too !!,...the lines, the movements (as she is a belly dancer of the Blue mountains)... check my pics and tell me what you think :)

(Ohhh je sais... des photos de l'annee derniere de 2011 ! je suis un peu en retard mais c'est aussi parce que je ne connaissais pas son nom a cette fille et comme je viens de m'inscrire recemment sur Facebook, hey ben...je l'y ai trouve' aussi !   Ce fut un plaisir de la prendre en photo (et je suis sure que tout le monde l'a aussi pris en photo) puisqu'elle fait  la danse du ventre un peu partout locallement pour les fetes, les festivals ect...) sa beaute' exotique, son costume en plus avec une touche Steampunk !  les lignes...ses mouvements ect... j'adore ! qu'en pensez-vous ??

The Darnell Collection helps celebrates the Harbour Bridge 80th Birthday !

Back on 19th March this year... (Charlotte Smith, curator of) The Darnell Collection helps celebrate the Harbour Bridge 80th birthday at Bradfield park, Milsons point NSW  with style and elegance of the 1930's era.

The day started very slow with a bit of drizzle rain but turned into a beautiful and glorious day!

Some pics that I took of those gorgeous models parading for the fashion catwalk...

 

and below...the magnificent structure of our famous Harbour Bridge 

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Family Portrait'

Earlier this month, had the opportunity to shoot Mel's family.

It was lots of fun ! 

(That location with old bricks building is one of my fav! It's great for interesting textures ect...)  I love bright colours but knowing Mel's taste :)... I gave a treatment to those pics to have that 'vintage' washed-out look.

Thank you for trusting my work Mel ! :)

Blue MOuntains Photographer: 'Bleeding Leaf'

I love portrait photography.   To be able to capture a mood or a personality from a subject/model through my lens...  I think that is so rewarding!  HOWEVER... it is not to say that I can't do anything else ! in fact... I also love my close-up/Macro shots (specially with drops of water!)   Here are couple of shots of one morning after some never ending rain !!  

But... just wanted to add my dark touch to it... What do you think ??

Thank you for your visit and your comments !
It's always nice to read your opinion on my work !!

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Glorious food!'

No portraits today but....

Oh my gosh ! I have been naughty... Look what I had today with my coffee !!

Some Timtam (not to mention... the packet !) well you know... the packet sounds aweful and naughty but...there's only... tiny 11 biscuits in it !!

oops !! I wonder how many calories or how many points in the WW program have I swallowed :(

but ...it's was sooo nice though ...

Have a fantastic week !!

Blue Mountains Photographer: 'Dance like no one's watching!'

Another serie of dance photos that I shot last year at a Concert rehearsal.
Would have loved to do this on a normal performance night because all would be perfect, make-up, props ect...  but on a creative level, I was still quite happy with these ...

Blue Mountains Portrait Photographer: 'Feather Girl'

.

.

... I love how photography allows me to express myself on a creative level... the fashion, vintage things,  the Victorian/Edwardian era oh so beautiful and elegant !!
but also ... shoes  .... burlesque and of course...  feathers !!
So for my photo-session below, I really wanted to make a bold statement with bright colours, bright make-up and ... lots and lots of feathers !
Was thrilled with the result ! what do you think ?



Make-up/concept:  Myself

.

Thank you for your visit and for taking time to give me your opinion/comment on my work,

Have a fantastic week !

Blue Mountains Fashion Photographer: 'Hat & pointe'

My friend came for a visit last month and as for each rare visit she does,

we always try to fit in a photo session. 

For each person, I always aim to bring out their personality, a style that would suit and of course... a little bit of my ideas and inspiration, so this is my  vision of it:  Simple with basic colours, elegance ... and I threw a hat and some pointes (she is a dancer ... and why not a cigarette (since she smokes :)

We had so much fun doing this !
