so we hitted up the national portrait gallery again on monday for the national portrait prize 09.

man i was blown away with the work most of the images where stunning bar some which made no sense in them being there, here are some i loved and hated

so the "WINNER" of the competition ^^^ I think its a joke the lighting is nice but it lacks real meaning to it. To me if fills like a snapshot from a budget camera there is no expresion on the boys faces. not worthy I think.

on the other hand i love this pic among alot of others this stood out, the photographer has done well to capture him looking very determined and there for a purpose the black and white portrait is so smooth and stunning.

Also being another of my favs was theses two men they show real emotion and a true artist culture behind them the photo is bland but works will with the style and lighting .

just super stoked on it and look forward to going back to see it again

hello again

two weekends ago i travelled up to thredbo to shoot the oceania mtb champs.   The weekend was tought as i had friday morning planing where i had to be on the two tracks over the two days.

ok so now walking is overrated really hard trying to walk down thredbo and up as well i reckon i must have done it at least 20times, blisters on the first day for not where tight shoes learn my lesson on that part 

enough talking here are some images of the weekend 

let me know what u think enjoy

NPA assignment 3

ok so bit late but been having trouble with the blogger and my gmail, but all good now i hope.

title: Michael Klim  photographer: Jonathan anderson & Edwin Low  1999

the photographers have created an awesome image of michael as a lean mean power house on the swimming circuit, the image shows this well, the stance of michael and the layout is perfect it draws the eye into the main subject,  

 

is a real eye catching image hope to create underwater stuff some day

FUN FLASH

ok so today was a bit of fun have some time to spare, so Jeremy and I played around with flashes,  the one in the dark room hurt after a while, headaches and blue dots in eyes from flash testing but worth every flash.   I think from now on we plan to do something cool/different/weird/interesting/maybe stupid every week just for shits and giggles,  GOOD TIMES 

peace dan

ok so some of my commercial work I have just recently pick up and another new job working for a promotions company called "out in canberra"   I have found that shooting not fast moving object is a challenge is its self its a whole new area of photography and I think I'm adapting to it well. and its fun i meet new people all the time, I have found the older guys in bars just really wana chat about camera gear and what they should get. :P (images are from this week end just gone)
