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.

iblazr LED Flash

I scored this great little toy from the guys at MobileZap. It’s got 4 bright LEDs, a silicone diffuser, uses an audio jack for smartphones and tablets (constant light or flash modes) and recharges via USB.

I think it’ll come in handy on it’s little cold shoe mount when shooting products in the light tent for Zen Garage. And if you’re always carrying a bag like me, it makes for a great gadget to have in your front pocket (it’s little pouch keeps it tidy).

I’ll be sure to test it out on my iPhone soon, if you’re interested it’s $60 and you can buy it here.

Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4

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).

Kit zoom lens with built-in pop-up flash.

Zoom lens again but with some sort of retro external flash unit.

This post is going to sound a little lame, but I just found out that one of my fave photographers (and I do not give a shit about all the bad press he’s been getting lately) uses a GF1, not only for a few of his images but a shitload of them!

I’ve just spent the last half an hour going through http://terrysdiary.com, downloading his images and getting the EXIF data, which confirms he’s using a GF1 on a lot of the shots I like. He even used a GF1 to shoot Katy Perry for Rolling Stone magazine (the man!). I’m now trying to figure out his settings, which seem to be ISO200, auto mode, in-built flash and having his models stand really close to the white wall. Must do some white wall with flash tests ASAP.

Another day another shoot! Jasmine (who was really fun to shoot) rocking our brand new Zen Garage Script Crewneck. No concept this time, just a straight out shoot as it’s always nice to try to get our new gear shot (she’s wearing an XS btw). Find the crewneck in our shop.

I shot Bettina today for BLACKHAWX. You can view the full feature on Zen Garage.

Was a fun shoot. Betty’s a good mate and an awesome model. Was a rainy grey day today but I wasn’t at all nervous about shooting in low light. Shooting smoke was challenging but I’m really happy with how the shots came out.

It’s been many years since I’ve shot a nude model. I’ve been wanting to though and it manifested itself last weekend.

My muse is crazy about flowers, so we got to the Sydney Flower Markets and bought a shitload (not an understatement) of roses. I’ve never been into flowers (yep I’m one of those guys) and have only ever bought them because of how they make people feel, but I’ve always hated it that I don’t feel good buying them, call me selfish but I prefer to give presents that I’d like to keep for myself!

Having said all that… I think I’m converted. Seeing these flowers go from messy wet bunches to de-stalked individual flowers, and deconstructing them down even further to just petals created a new appreciation of flowers for me. I ended up spending more time focussing on flowers than skin!

I hope you like these pics as much as my muse and I do, if you do decide to leave comments, please be nice!

Just another day. 6am. It’s cold and dark outside, but it’s time to get up. 6.30am. Hit that snooze button, brush teeth, do hair, apply makeup, get dressed and get to work. Just another day.

First photoshoot with the GF6! Wasn’t an easy one either as I had all sorts of strange issues with the yellow lights in Jess’ wardrobe, and of-course the changing light outside as the sun was rising. But practise makes perfect, right?! Really happy with how the shots came out, and how the story reads too (Jess literally had to get ready for work!).
