Studio Portraits Workshop
On Sunday I taught a workshop in the studio. One of the topics covered was lighting patterns and the different moods they create. Kevin, one of the photographers on the workshop, posed for the portraits above - I love the different result that a lighting change - and a black coat - can create. From boy-next-door to.... hmm...
For the final segment of the workshop we photographed Sarah Green, a tribal fusion bellydancer. Click here to watch the video!

Weddings Workshop
What do you get when you combine a gorgeous couple in their wedding garb, some funky locations and seven photographers? Our 'Photographing Weddings' workshop on Sunday... and a whole lot of happy clicking!
Emma and Karl, whose real wedding we photographed back in March, came back to be the models for our workshop, and they were a blast!

Daffodil Day 2009
Lisa and I were approached to photograph Daffodil Day for the Cancer Society this year. A coffee table book is being made about their wonderful volunteers and we were both happy to give our time to such a great charity.
I had the absolute pleasure of spending the morning with the lovely Joan Swift.
She's an amazing woman who has volunteered for the Cancer Society for over thirty years. She is the Auckland area coordinator and works from before dawn till very late each and every Daffodil Day. She's been doing it since the very first Daffodil Day!
Lisa headed over to the Bhana Brothers at 129 Ponsonby Road. Harry, Pravin and Arvind Bhana run a fruiterer/florist shop that has been in their family since the 1930s.
Every year they generously provide the flowers and prepare them to be sold by volunteers at a stand in front of the shop, with all profits going to the Cancer Society. This year they also sold poppies along with the daffodils, and a passing pooch decided that those poppies tasted pretty good!
It was great to see the generosity of people donating and the volunteers who had given up their time for the cause. We'll let you know when the books are printed so you can go and get yourself one.

Gorgeous Julia in Enterprise North Shore
A few months ago I had the pleasure of photographing four local ladies who received 'recession-busting makeovers' by Headstart Salon in Albany.
It's great to see Julia, one of our lovely ladies, appearing in the latest issue of Enterprise North Shore magazine.

The family is growing...
One-on-one tutoring
As well as teaching our workshop series, I offer one-on-one tutoring to amateur and professional photographers. I get such a buzz sharing my knowledge and special tips and tricks with students.
One of my students, Heather, took this portrait of me during a recent session, and I think she did a great job! She has now headed off to Europe where I bet she is taking oodles of stunning pics. Have a fantastic time Heather!
