The orange swimsuit take 2!

A few weeks ago I posted a photo from my shoot with TN Photography and Natalia Held.

I just wanted to share another picture with you from this shoot.

Look at those legs!! Can you say... JEALOUS!!!

She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny fluro orange... swimsuit!

Just wanted to quickly share a photo from a photo shoot I did a few months ago.

The theme was editorial - resort style. Hopefully I will have more pictures to show you soon as this truely was an amazing shoot. Some of the shots would easily fit in the pages of Vogue.

Picture it - its winter in Canberra, about 5 degrees, its FREEZING. The city is empty on the grey Sunday afternoon. Standing infront of an amazing architectural building is a stunning model...longest legs I have ever seen, freezing in a tiny little fluro orange swim suit and massive pump heels...absolutley smashing it infront of an amazing up and coming photographer!

I always have a great time shooting with Tina from TN Photography - she is uber creative and thinks outside the box - she is one to watch!

Talented locals!

There are so many talented Canberra locals hiding in our tiny little pool of big fish!

Unfortunatly in Canberra there isnt a huge market for fashion photographers, makeup artists and models... unless of course you are willing to work for free!! This is fine if you are starting out, or are doing it as more of a hobby. But, lets face it, we all want something for nothing, but not when it comes to our own work!

There is however a good market for bridal makeup. The problem however is that this isnt my *favourite* type of makeup to do. Sure, there is great money involved, but its the same makeup over and over, the occassional stressed out, fussy bridezilla! Not exactly the time of my life!

I have been able to start my portfolio of fashion/editorial makeup, with the assistance of some fantastic up and comers.... I wont drop names...yet!

I am ALWAYS looking for feedback...good and bad. With every mistake made, there is a valuable lesson learnt!

Here is the first makeup I did after having baby #2. Not too shabby considering it had been months since picking up a brush!
