Candace at the Beach

Below are a few shots from my shoot with Candace at the Playa de las Palmas. This was a quick sunrise shoot on the morning I left Mexico. I wish I had had more time to work with Candace. She is a pleasure to photograph.

Cheers!

Carly and SaraLiz

These are some of the images from my shoot with Carlotta and SaraLiz. We started in the bar of the Todos Santos Inn, then moved to the spare bedroom, recently vacated by Robert.

I’ve put together a calendar of the images from this shoot, which is available here

Anne

Hotelito – stark geometrics and hard surfaces. The perfect foil for a curvy bod 🙂

Brooke Lynne

What an absolute delight Brooke is to work with. From the start of our shoot she apologized for not feeling in top form…I was amazed the effort this girl put in while ill. Her attention to detail in every pose was a priority. I’m not sure if I will get to shoot Brooke here in Australia next, or if I will have to make another trek to America. I certainly will be campaigning for her to take a working holiday downunder.

Thank you Brooke, lets do this again.

Hotelito Studio

FestX 2011 is my fourth Zoefest and starting with the 2008 meet ( Joshua Tree, CA) I began working on a body of work called the “Studio Series”.

The goal of the series each year is to work within constrains I’ve imposed to push both myself and the models. These constraints include shooting only one roll of film per session (this year I used 35mm with 24 frames to work within. Previous years I shot medium format and had 10 frames!), limiting the time down to 30 minutes (previously 15 minutes) and apart from selecting a “studio” setting there’s no pre-conceived theme to the shoot. Ideally I’m working towards one hero image from each session to be included in the series.

The “studio” setup for FestX was the Hotelito with their amazing coloured walls. Each image has been designed to follow the same look with the foreground leading into the wall and the models working within this space. I shot colour film converted to Black&White this year and used the colour from each location to tweak the tones to my liking.

There are quite a few other images from these sessions that almost made it in and I’ll post more of these soon, along with the colour work shot digitally.

Anoush and the lantern

I managed to grab Anoush for a short time one evening after seeing the sea turtles released….I didn’t have any lights, so decided to make use of one of the lanterns on the pool deck at Casa Bentley.
