Shoes, bags and BBQ

I have been asked to post some more images from my recent shoes and bags shoot so here are three more which are quite different from the others I have shown. With the "wedding season" well and truelly underway I thought these would be appropriate.

Recently I have found bags much harder to shoot for some reason so I tried to put more time into it and am pleased with these results.

Yesterday saw me showing the final images for the calendar to all those that took part. I am pleased that everyone really liked their picture. The calendar will run for 18 months so trying to please 18 people was a bit nerve racking. Ric and Kath at the Honest John who chose me to do the images put on a lovely BBQ for all the people involved and their families. Thanks to them for a lovely evening,

Copacabana

This last week has seen me shooting promotional and publicity images for a show to take place later in the year. The show is Copacabana and all the cast and crew were a joy to work with. Here are two of the approx 188 images that were selected. The society which is MADAOS put on two shows a year with this being the first of 2009. Please visit their site and you will find more of the images from the shoot on my website soon!!!!

I have lots of shoots over the comming weeks including some for a Calendar to raise funds for a local charity. I will post more from these shoots as they are done.

Happy New Year

Hi All and a very Happy and Creative New Year .

As usual at this time we make resoutions that we are sure we will keep, only to let them go by the board after just a few days or weeks. I am convinced that 2009 will be a special year for me and so with that thought in mind I have been looking at my work, both what I do and how I do it. Conclusion is that I have to be more focused (good idea for a photographer ) with set plans and deadlines. Also that I have to promote myself more and learn how to "close the deal" with prospectve clients. Arrangements for solo and joint exhibitions have either been confirmed or will be soon with dates planned throughout 2009. I will be continuing with my personal projects of musical instruments as well as one on shoes and will use different frames apart from the standard black ones I use now.

For my studio portraiture I am shortly to start a series of makeover evenings for groups of ladies and even talking with someone about a calendar for next year!!!!!.

I also promise to post a least once a week as I have been very lax about that too.

Have a wonderful New Year

Rob
