Timeless Black & White











I have always loved black & white going back over 20 years to my amateur days. There is something about its simplicity, no distracting colours, just the image itself. It has had a huge come back in popularity and many of my clients ask for it as it fits in so well with contemporary homes. Click thumbnails to see large.

Location Family Portrait





Outdoor family portraits are something I love doing. Getting out of my studio, having lovely clients to work with and choosing the right spot. Of course a prop or two helps and Prue and Andrew had just purchased a Jeep Wrangler which made a great prop! The close up family group then the 3 girls were photographed using a BBQ table with palms and greenery behind them and the late afternoon sun adding a touch of "rim" lighting to their hair.

Business premises



Sometimes business owners require quality images of their premises for brochures, adverts and web sites. These can be tricky to photograph and this one at Aspley on Brisbane's north-side was no exception. It was a hive of activity with customers coming and going to the shop and cars pulling in and out of the front car park obstructing my camera view.
Some patience was rewarded, the car park emptied and I got my images. The interior panorama is actually 3 images stitched together to get the entire shop in. Click thumbnails to view large.
