Colours of Summer
Julz had wanted to melt some icy poles for a shoot, so she picked up a box of them and we went through them all to find the colours we wanted. I think these colours and these photos really represent summer for me. It brings back memories of summer at home with my family, and…

F(rose)n in Time (2)
As I mentioned in my last F(rose)n post, I took a lot of photos of those roses in ice, so here are some more. These shots give you some more details of the ice itself, which fascinated me. I’ll start with two sets of colour vs monochrome. There are a lot more I’d like to…

A Little Bit of Flatlay Fun
I love flatlay photography – it’s my favourite type of product photography. I love pottering around the house, looking for objects that work perfectly together in the shot. This pink shoot had been percolating around in my head for a while. I started this morning, by stopping off at my local bakery on the way…

Five Minutes with Skittles & Julz – RegularRandom
The first little station Julie had set up for us was a melting skittles station. We set them up in a circle on a plate and hit them with hot water. Here are the 5 minutes that followed. Make sure you check out Julie’s shots of the same setup here. And afterwards, of course, I…

F(rose)n in Time (1)
Last weekend, we had a public holiday on Monday for Labour Day and my friend Julie invited me to join her in her studio for a mystery photo shoot. “Bring your camera and a sense of adventure,” she said. Julie had prepared a series of awesome little workstations for us to photograph. My favourite was…

Fruit with Cream
The fabulous Julie invited me to her place yesterday (Monday) for a “mystery photo shoot”. She told me to bring my camera and my sense of adventure, nothing else. And she told me nothing, except – it could get messy! She had a bunch of experimental shoots set up and we dove right in. This…

Wild Hearts
There’s not enough rope to tie me down There’s not enough tape to shut this mouth The stones you throw can make me bleed But I won’t stop until we’re free Wild hearts can’t be broken No, wild hearts can’t be broken -P!nk, Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken. No matter what you’re up against –…

Oil Slicks
Truth will rise above falsehood, as oil above water. -Miguel De Cervantes There are a bunch more photos I’d love to show you, and I probably will over time, but today I wanted to show you the last ones from our Paint in Water shoot. After it was all over, the water was virtually black…

Five Minutes with Angel Cake – a Different Take (cheat) on RegularRandom
This week a slightly different take on the five minutes. I know I usually say “don’t mess with the scene” but how could I not? It has been an insanely (but unfortunately not unusually) busy week at work this week and I felt like a recovery day was required. It was a hot day today…

More Painted Water.
I am fascinated by this paint-in-water shoot. I spent some time editing all the shots and this series is one of my favourites. I can see some of these as backgrounds, as prints on their own – I’d love to see the first one covering a wall. There are quite a few more I want…

Early Morning in Brunswick East
Late nights and early mornings. They don’t really go together, do they? Exhausted from too many hours at work, not enough sleep, too much chatter in the brain, I still wake up far too early each morning. But sometimes, there’s a nice reward. These shots are from 6:15am on Wednesday this week, from my balcony…

More Paint Planets, and Some Volcanoes
Following on from yesterday’s post, we took away the red background and replaced it with a white one. We also mixed our primary(ish) colours, to make green and purple as well. I used my Olympus OMD EM5 as usual for these shots, with the 60mm macro lens – it allowed me to get close and…
