DAY MADE!

I tend to do most, if not all of my emailing first thing in the morning. It never ceases to amaze me how one email can totally dictate how you’re going to feel for the rest of the day. Sometimes it’s sad, but today it’s mad!

The photo editor for “art” – Europe’s leading art magazine sent me an email inviting me to have my work featured. I’ve got a bunch of questions to answer, and I get to select 20 photographs (not going to be easy but obviously I’ll have to select images from my more arty shoots).

First Juxtapoz Magazine, then Cool Material, now Art Magazine… considering I’ve only just started shooting a little more seriously this year I’m chuffed with all of this attention. It means nothing, but everything at the same time!

Early last month Kesii and I talked about teeing up a shoot for whenever she was next in Sydney next (she’s from Queensland), she’s in town and had an hour to spare today and although I prefer all day shoots I was more than happy to get snappy.

Kesii’s gorgeous right?! She’s so photogenic. Couldn’t take a bad shot of her. She’s currently about to graduate from Engineering, but she’s also working on JD Alterations, an upcoming side project/family business.

As usual, more shots on my tumblr: http://justinfox.tumblr.com

Jasmine just got back from EDC in the USA, and even whilst she was over there she was messaging me to get ready to shoot again! This time she wanted to shoot outside, with a bike.

It was all last minute but I grabbed my Kuwa (it’s got flat tyres and I couldn’t find a pump in the house!) and I’ve still got keys to the beach house so we headed down there to shoot in the remaining afternoon light (which was glorious!).

Later that night we tried my new studio setup but the backdrop is just too transparent (cheap shit). I’ll have to look into getting a new backdrop ASAP.

D&M’s all day long! I FINALLY got to shoot Koko today. She’s SO photogenic, both cute and sexy, hilarious, full of energy and super fun to hang out with. Won’t be the last shoot, that’s for sure (can’t wait to shoot her again!). As usual, more pics up on my tumblr.

I found this lens a couple of months ago whilst doing some research on Google (I was looking for creamier bokeh LOL), a fair few reviewers (review 1, review 2) rated it over the 20mm pancake lens (which I absolutely love and is the reason why I’m into Micro Four Thirds cameras).

It’s pricey, bigger, heavier and tighter than the 20mm but I had to give it a go and I’m glad I have, it’s now my everyday set-up for the GF6 (the 20mm is back on the GF1).

PS: I’ve been geeking out about the idea of buying an even smaller camera too. My research has led me to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, which seems a lot like a GF1, but fixed lens and smaller. Then there’s the Panasonic Lumix LF1 which is truly pocketable (will easily fit in pants pocket).
