Falling into the unknown

A simple black & white edit from my shoot last week.

I am an Impressionist

I am an Impressionist; I trudge through the countryside, chasing light, chasing colours until I capture the truth through my lens.

Natural light is the bane of my existence, I find beauty in truth and natural light sheds all facades.

 Together, myself, Sally (model) and Millie had fun walking through the bush to chase where I found the best light and the quaint little creek in the reserve. It is a location I will probably use again at some stage. I had limited options when the clouds began to take my precious sun away. Through the latter part of the shoot I began channeling Bill Henson. His great manipulation of tones and shadows has always enamored me.

Here are my favourites: All natural light, completely edit free.

Playing Me Like a Fruit Machine..

Had a great day today, starting off with the cool breeze of the early morning and sunshine after the past week of rain. A change for the better. My first trip of the day was Giselle's, a friends place, to take some portrait shots. The lighting was great and I got a few good shots that I can use. The purpose of the shoot was to get a portrait that I could enter into Castle Hill Show. Mission accomplished :)

My favourite two shots from today..

The second thing on the agenda today was to find a shooting location. I specifically had an open field where the sun set in the background, making for a great spot for silhouette and natural lighting photos. The golden hour and natural light are seemingly the bane of my existence when I pick up a camera. I also found, or more re-discovered a cute area with a shallow river and bridge where I will start to frequent on a semi-regular basis. Another Mission accomplished :)
