Over the weekend Dave and I went up to Brissy to host a workshop. We took with us Glen (Make up artist), Rachel and Rebecca.

Stayed at Evolution Apartments at first they couldn’t find it, then wanted to give us 2 x 1 bedroom apartments and THEN they thought we were only booked for the ONE night…..errrr. Besides that the view was nice.

Up at 7am on Saturday and we didn’t finish until 7.30pm. Then we drove around the city lost for a bit before finding Eagle St and Jade Buddah, where we had dinner.

Next morning up at 6.30am to get to the airport for the flight back to Sydney. Video and some photos of what people captured will follow soon. Thanks to all those who attended.

Yes, lack of shoots lately

Was meant to have one last weekend but that got cancelled and it’s Chinese New Year this weekend so no shooting for me this weekend either. I guess it gives me time to prepare & gather props for a themed shoot I want to do. Just need to find the right model for it. If the weather holds up then perhaps a sunset shoot next week.

Hope everyone else is shooting.

Oh and for the Brisbane guys, check out http://workshop.xploit3d.com March 6/7th!

Here’s a random photo of home made lasagna to make the post a bit more interesting

What a weekend, had the workshop on Saturday and we initially ran in to a few hiccups but in the end it all worked out. More tiring than what you’d imagine, talking all the time and walking around.

Over the workshop weekend, we had a Bowens Explorer 1500 head & pack system alongside our usual gear for people to play with. Wow this unit pumps out a serious amount of light. 1500 Joules/wattseconds of power and the pop it gave is music to your ears, just ashame once we took it on location for a workout it only managed a measely 180 pops at 700J before giving up.

Saturday night went for a few drinks but ended up I consumed more than what I initially thought I had…. happens all the time it seems LOL.

Sunday up nice and early to shoot the lovely Katrina, who’s a FHM Top 10 “Girl Next Door.”
If you have a few moments spare, perhaps you can vote for her

Dave from xploit3d.com approached me to do a Glam workshop with him a few months back and after procrastinating… here we are.  Sat 30th, Sun 31st January, 2010. Register at workshop.xploit3d.com.

We delibrately kept the groups small (2 photog’s per group), nothing worse than jostling with 10 other photographers to get the angle you want only to find the model is looking elsewhere being directed by a photographer on the otherside of the room!

Glamour workshop coming soon with Dave @ xploit3d.com and myself. Experienced models needing little to no direction and working in pairs.
