Shoot with Andy

Sasha — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 12:23:40 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting with my wonderful friend Andy.

He is such a gorgeous man, inside and out. His inner beauty really shines outward and I hope that I captured it in its entirety.

We played with the light, using coloured gels for the background, with fantastic effects.

Here’s a few of the images from the shoot as it was hard to pick the best of the lot.

Shoot with Ash

Sasha — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 11:04:30 +0000

Last night, I had the pleasure of shooting with Ash.

For his first time in front of the camera, I think he did incredibly well. He fell into poses very easily and it was a pleasure taking photos of him. I look forward to future shoots with him

Here’s the best of the shoot:

Shoot with Alex

Sasha — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 12:15:27 +0000

Today I got the opportunity to shoot with little Alex. He is SO incredibly adorable.

He’s the sort of child that you just want to take as million and one photos of coz he’s so cute!!

It was a great experience taking photos of him. It also showed me that I need to be a bit more relaxed with my lighting when it comes to shooting kids as they have a mind of their own, which is fine by me

Here’s my favourite images from the shoot:

Shoot with Sharlin

Last night I had an opportunity to take photos of my friend Sharlin. She is so incredibly gorgeous, happy and full of life. She just lights up the room and it was a pleasure taking photos of her.

She did so well for her first time in front of the camera. We had a lot of laughs and got some incredible images.

Here’s the best of the shoot:

Again, what you see is what was in camera, so the photoshop of these images is minimal

Shoot with Spyke

Sasha — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 07:04:24 +0000

Over the long weekend, my close and dear friend Spyke came over and we had a play in my new studio space and experimented with the lights and different poses.

He is such an incredible model, always able to fall into the right pose so easily – I love working with him so much!! Can’t wait for the next time.

Here’s the best from the shoot:

The most fun was trying to get all the images perfect in camera, so there was minimal photoshop done to all of these.

New born photo shoot

Sasha — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 01:00:09 +0000

This is a the follow up shoot, from the pregnancy one that I did a few weeks ago, which you can have a look at here.

Shooting babies is interesting. As soon as this little guy had the camera pointed at him, he grizzled and complained , so I just took the images in short bursts, while mum cuddled him in between.

Both of these shoots were edited using the classic wedding action set.

Pregnancy Shoot

Sasha — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 05:52:16 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of shooting a gorgeous pregnant girl just weeks away from giving birth. It was a little bit of a challenge as it was her place, which meant no studio lights. So I made my own studio next to an open curtain in her living room. Ha ha, her and her partner looked me like I was crazy, but I managed to get some amazing shots!

Food Photography – My Breakfast

Sasha — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:00:52 +0000

I’ve been thinking about different photographic avenues, to expand my creativity and to inspire myself and decided the other morning to photograph my breakfast I had a soft boiled egg, cooked about 3 and half minutes and some pumpkin seed toast, buttered – yummy!

It was an interesting task as I had to make the food look good and I also wanted to eat it! After finishing my breakfast, which was a little cold, but still awesome and looking at the images, I think I should have dusted off the old reflector and filled in the shadows, but a small tweak in lightroom with the fill light fixed that!

This was shot with:

Minolta Dynax 7D
Lens: 25-105mm
ISO: 100
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter: 1/45

DIY Lighting setups

Sasha — Sat, 15 May 2010 00:32:16 +0000

I’m always looking for ways of making studio equipment or trying cut costs. It can be fun putting together your own lighting set ups or just trialling new methods.

I’ve composed a list of different articles that can help you out

Shoot with Tiffany

Sasha — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 01:36:01 +0000

Last week I worked with Tiffany again, a model that I have worked with for about two years now. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I always get amazing images with her

These images have been minimally photoshopped as the lighting and exposure was perfect in camera.
