On the weekend, I had the amazing Luna Milosc in my studio. I was inspired by Russian photographer, Pavel Kiselev.
Having a white paper backdrop laying around, which had already seen better days; I decided to do this with it. It was also a good opportunity to try out my new posing boxes.
Thank you to my friend, Angie To for assisting on the day.

This was a continuation of my tribal series with Sylph Sia. The headpiece was created by Cassandra Lee and inspired by native American culture as well as the beautiful work of Genevieve Amelia.

Continuing on from my tribal series, I teamed up with makeup artist Cassandra Lee and stunning model Fiona. I contacted Cassandra after she indicated that she wanted to work with metallic body paint. It was also something I wanted to shoot, so we teed it up and the rest is history. It was my first time working with Fiona.
Cassandra painted her with metallic awesomeness and she nailed the poses like a pro. (No we didn't use the same stuff that almost killed Buddy Ebsen in the original Wizard of Oz)
I love shooting tribal styles and I have a couple more in the pipeline.

Last week I had a last minute art nude shoot with my buddy, Stefania Ferrario. I first shot Stef about 4 years ago and we have been collaborating on various projects ever since. You may have seen her on the Australian Target commercials with Gok. Makeup by Mary Li [link] Check out Stefania's FB here [link]
SAAAWWWEEET!
Last Thursday, I shot again with the amazing Sylph Sia. We did some outdoor nudes with makeup, hair and floristry by my talented unicorn friend Dave Reid. The frame was lent to us by Tony Kieu's framer. Sylph braved the crisp Autumn air, hunger, a few joggers running by and the odd car horn tooting, to create these images.
We started the day doing makeup and hair at Daves house, then started shooting at about 3:30pm to catch the later half of the day as the sun started to set. We shot till sundown in a couple of foresty areas of Canberra. I was extremely happy with how everything turned out. Check out more of Sylph here.
I recently had the pleasure of shooting the beautiful Canberra based model Sylph Sia. We have worked together on artistic projects on a number of occasions in the past. This time I wanted to create something with a bit of punch. I was looking for twisted and contorted poses with an almost futuristic, alienesque feel, and boy did Sylph Sia deliver... I explained what I wanted in the pose and she took it from there. It's rare to find a model who is so professional, so comfortable in front of the camera, who knows how to deliver exactly what you want, and is not to mention... stunning! If you are after a model who can perform, then please contact her for rates and availability here. I highly recommend you do.
Mary was right on the money with her makeup, and it all came together brilliantly. I'm never disappointed in that department.
I lit the scene using four lights. One small gelled softbox, a small 7" reflector, 22" beauty dish with a blue gel as the main light and a 64" white PLM umbrella for fill and to balance out the gels. I also used a star filter for the streak lens flare effect. I should also mentioned there was no liquify or over-processing. What you see is what you get. More to come soon!
