After a long chat on Facebook, Stephanie turns up for her shoot. I told her I was kinda disappointed. She has a sleek figure like a gazelle, skin that glows from within, a big bright grin that lights up her face and the looks of a young Cindy Crawford-ish, complete with mole! And she’s drinking [...]

I felt like starting this post with “…BECAUSE…” Why have I embarked on the Organics Project and what’s it all about? Because. - Because I can. - Because I’ve been Photoshopping forever. - Because I want to go back to basics. - Because I want to bring honesty, reality and uh, yes, sexy back. - [...]

I’ve gotten it into my head lately that I want to shoot images that are natural, pure, clean – unadulterated by manipulation, makeup, photoshop and post-production. Why?

So we rock up to a new restaurant, hoping for a pleasant experience but basically we were meeting up with our son for lunch so that was the main thing. We walk in and see a large Día de los Muertos (Mexican festival: day of the dead) picture on the wall and the receptionist in [...]

I had procrastinated seriously on shooting the Christmas projections at St. Mary’s Cathedral in central Sydney, and the last day I could do it was a wet, thundery Christmas day! Ah well, so at the urging of my wife Lillian (who also wanted to shoot it) we went. It was not too bad at the [...]
