Squarespace

jfox
New Photography Portfolio.

I’m a WordPress guy (well, an HTML guy actually, wish I could turn back time and dominate the web like I did once in the 90’s lol), but recently I’ve been thinking about setting up a photography folio of some sort as tumblr is just not cutting it (6 months into shooting and I’ve got too many images now, and with tumblr I can’t re-organise or sort images).

I started looking into some WordPress base themes but failed to find the right solution (short of hacking to death and using plugins to make it all happen). My developer flatmate suggested I look at Squarespace. I did some research, played with a demo for a few hours and found it pretty damn impressive in regards to getting your content onto a site as quickly and as easily as possible. It’s a bit buggy, and starts to take a toll on your browser (I had to close the window a couple of times and log back in to get it up to speed again).

You can check out my work in progress so far (I signed up for 12 months at around $170 with the use of a coupon code). PS: NSFW Nudity Warning!). Visit: http://www.justinfoxphoto.com

Sony a7S

zeiss
Carl Zeiss UV Filter. So clear that it’s a bit trippy.

side
Feels good to hold, but the springy shutter button feels a bit cheap and nasty.

gf6_vs_a7s
GF6 vs a&S size comparo.

The decision was made to upgrade to a Sony a7S with Zeiss 55mm F1.8. Daniel from OFIM put me on to a good deal with Marcus at digiDIRECT in Westfield’s Bondi Junction. I ended up taking the camera home, and bought a Zeiss UV Filter to protect the lens, a new memory card too.

The camera comes with 2 batteries! That’s pretty cool. The charger is pretty slim, and there’s a USB/wall charger too so I had both batteries charging in no time. It’s substantially bigger and heavier than my GF6 setup, but it’s nowhere near as heavy as Matt or Ved’s DSLR setups. The focussing feels slower than my GF6, either way I’m looking forward to playing with this camera!

Had a snappy shoot with Jaymee yesterday. Jaymee reached out to me on Facebook after seeing photos I took with Shontelle, she was more than happy to pay for a shoot but I’m still not so comfortable with charging (needs more thought!), and I was having a good day, so I just said yes!

I’d like to keep shooting just for the fun of it, but then again I do want to upgrade to a full frame camera after playing around with Matthew Mead’s setup last weekend at the Zen Photowalk. Hopefully I’ll be upgrading tomorrow thanks to internet friends who chimed in with lots of great suggestions on my Facebook profile.

PS: More photos on my Tumblr (NSFW!): http://justinfox.tumblr.com

Zen Photowalk 2

Zen Photowalk #2 was to Cockatoo Island! Perfect weather (luckily it wasn’t the day before, where temperatures were through the roof) and a much bigger crowd than our first Photowalk! Was such a great day out. Matthew Mead and I are already discussing locations for the next one! Look out for the full feature, featuring work from all the photographers on the day, on Zen Blog soon.

Another day another shoot! Today I’m back to my roots, as a behind the scenes photographer for Statement Clothing who are using the beach house for their new look book.

I’ve never seen such a fast paced shoot. 2 photographers, a videographer, 5 models (including one celebrity, Scotty T from MTV’s Geordie Shore) and lots and lots and lots of clothes! The photographers were bam bam bam! Literally a few minutes/outfit. Was fun being a behind the scenes shooter again, but I’ll admit that I much prefer the slow, intimate and relaxed pace of shooting my girls!

Yesterday afternoon I had a shoot with fashion blogger Rosamina Bold, who’s Mongolian (explains her high cheek bones!) and a self confessed Otaku (obsessed manga and anime fan). Great connect (I think I talked her ears off!). I really really love shooting interesting people! Check out her Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/kouturekittygirl
