I had the pleasure of working with 13 graduating students from RMIT yesterday. They didn’t want to remember their graduation day with a picture in front of a backdrop so they called me.

We started off in my favourite locaton, Hosier Lane in Melbourne and went from there.

Please enjoy a glimpse into the day below. I would love to hear any comments you may have.

Today was a beautiful day to spend with a beautiful family. We spent the afternoon taking a few photos of the kids and then Mum and Dad got a go. We finished of with a few group shots before we called it quits.

Here are a couple of quick images from the shoot.

I look forward to hearing your reactions to the photos and thanks for holding my flashes kids!

On a side note these images were quickly processed with the help of Gavin Seims Lightroom Power Presets. I’ve been a fan of these for ages and have just got hold of them. He also has some Photoshop effects he has done which I will also be getting. Go check out his stuff!

I had great pleasure in accepting a dinner invitation from Sarah and Will this evening. I haven’t seen these guys in around five years and I had a lovely meal with them and their two gorgeous girls.

Will has expressed an interest in photography so I took my big camera bag along to show him and answer any questions he might have. As soon as one of the girls saw the cameras she was ready and posing. The other took a little while to warm up but once she was ready, she was working the camera like a professional!

Will was fascinated by the Nikon Creative Lighting System and ebjoyed being a VALS whilst I took the photos.

Great catching up with you guys and I hope to see you again before too long.

Portrait Session: Master C., originally uploaded by RXAphotos.

I was looking for photos this morning to upload to my reworked website (released soon) and came across this one. This is from a portrait session back in March.

When I originally looked at this I showed it to the clients but wasn’t thrilled with it. I did however add it to the list of photos shown to the client.

I reprocessed the image and now I have it in my portfolio.

A Daddy-Daughter Moment, originally uploaded by RXAphotos.

The beautiful baby featured in the photo above is now a gorgeous one year old. I had the pleasure of taking a few photos of her at her party today.

Yesterday I had a portrait session with Ashlee in the alleyways of Melbourne. The weather was rather chilly but Ash was a trooper and not once complained about the cold. We started at Hosiers Lane, famous for its grafitti and ended up behind St Pauls in Melbourne, a little alleyway i had visted with Shelton Muller on a wedding I helped him with.

Here are a few of my favourites…

Today I took my family to Monsalvat. Montsalvat consists of a series of unique and distinctive buildings in the European style set in over 12 acres of parkland.

It is a portrait/wedding photographer’s dream as the opportunities present themselves to you as soon as you enter the property. From stunning landscapes to intimate rooms, the possibilities are nearly endless.

One of the reasons for my visit was to show my mother and her fiancé the location. They were considering having their wedding portraits taken there based upon my endless raving about the place. I took them up to “the loft” and shot a few photographs and even on the back of the camera they were impressed with the lighting and how it could be used.

I then took the rare opportunity to actually set up a photograph using my son Matthew. For once (to my amazement) he actually stood as he was asked and as a result I captured the best photograph of him I have ever produced in his six and a half year life.
