Last few days I have been posting some of travel photos from my adventures in 2006.
This one was taken on a very cold winters morning in December 2006.

The West Australian Institute of Fashion and Textiles had their graduation show on Tuesday night at the Burswood. I was the official photographer of the evening and here are some of the stuff shot on the night… I have heaps of shots to go through and edit so I am going to post a few each day and will start off with the first of the evening (sorry guys who were at the end of the show… I will try my hardest to get them up!!)

All these guys are so talented and will definately be making a name for themselves in the fashion industry in the years ahead! The lovely and very beautiful models were from Viven’s Model Management they were all amazing!

more hot stuff. renee blake

6 . November . 07

This is the rest of the series I have been working on for my sisters fashion range. Pine forests are definitely the flavor of the month! I had so much fun shooting this with Renee, I love when I get completely creative control and just get to do anything I want – for the first shot I had Renee laying on the ground in the pine forest which she protested to at first, but as soon as she saw the first few shots I took she was amazed and than did anything I asked for the rest of the shoot! The light in the pine forest is so beautiful, and so many different ways to embrace this light. Renee and the rest of her class over at West Australian Institute of Fashion and Textiles is having their catwalk show on the 20th November – and they have hired me to photograph the catwalk show and the rest of the evening – I cant wait for the show, it is going to be a great night! I have also designed a newspaper/magazine for them to hand out on the night, it was all finished up yesterday and today is at the printers, so as soon as I get a copy I will post it up here, it looks pretty cool! =)

My sister, Renee Blake, studies fashion at Tafe. She is in her final year and has just finished her couture pieces. She is currently putting together her look book and asked if I would be keen to shoot some photos for her. I was definitely keen and called on my dear friend, Arlene Bax, to do the lovely modelling. Arlene and I studied photography at Edith Cowan University together (we also went to high school together), she would always gracefully accept to be my model in whatever crazy ideas I came up with for assignments! Anyway she was a perfect model for Renee’s outfits and we got some awesome shots. The above are two of my favourites. A lot to come soon!
