Late night sesh with Jess. Looks like I’m well and truly over my fear of shooting in low light. The red hue in these images isn’t post processing, it comes from having my finger over the built in flash on my GF6 (IE: the flash shining through the blood in my finger), and the other light in there is the star projector I bought a while back.
Jess and I both love these pics, hope you like them too!

Test Shot from today’s portrait/hero shot shoot with restaurant owner, author and international speaker Pauline Nguyen of Red Lantern Restaurants.
Whilst I was in Japan I got a message (through my tumblr) from L.SHIMA. I clicked on the link to her tumblr and almost fell off my chair!
lshima said: Justin, inspiring work! Would love to work with you if our paths ever cross. I am based in FL, USA (but soon Michigan). I’ll shoot you a line if I’m ever in Sydney!
Anyone’s who’s anyone makes their way to Sydney… eventually, right?! I’m psyched. Would love to work with her (I think she’s amazing). I’ve put up a little feature on Zen, click here to check it out (NSFW Warning!).
My photos from last week’s photoshoot with Coco are now live on Zen, view the full set on Zen Blog: http://www.zengarage.com.au/2014/09/ohayo-coco
Holy shit I’ve been featured on Juxtapoz Magazine AGAIN!!! I’m SO stoked. I’ve been reading Juxtapoz on and off since the mid 90’s! It’s by far my fave art mag out there. I’m honoured!

Had a fun shoot with Gloria yesterday. She’s a girl on the move; new direction, new passion project, new job too. I have a thing for people with drive and new-found direction so we got along well!
And his 5D for most of the shots. And yup that’s Mitch in the background taking a selfie haha.
Daniel shot with this Rolleiflex for a few shots.
Today I had the amazing Daniel Boud shoot me for a VICE/LYNX show and coffee table book, the concept being VICE/LYNX’s take on men’s style in 2014.
Those who know me know that I HATE being in front of the camera, but I’ve been a fan of Daniel’s work for YEARS so I couldn’t refuse!
Daniel brought along his assistant Mitch Hay, both guys were totally chill, which made the whole shoot chill. Daniel shot a few shots in the lounge room, the man cave, the garage with the GT-R and down by the rock pool and beach too.
Ultimately it was just fun to hang out with Daniel, and watch the man at work. Being in front of the camera’s a good thing for me too, now I know how my models feel when they’re not sure what to do (a little direction goes a long way!).
I got in touch with Shontelle early last month to organise a shoot and it went down today at my place. Shontelle drove all the way from the Central Coast to get here. I was hoping for a sunny day (as always) but unfortunately it was a grey and rainy day, still, the sun did peep out a few times so I snapped away when it was out. Shooting and hanging with Shontelle indoors was a warm way to spend a miserable morning! I’m quite happy with some of these shots. Hope you like them too.

Putting the galaxy projector to good use! Jess leaves for overseas soon, and I leave for Japan next week (eek!) so we had to squeeze one more shoot in before our goodbyes! Shooting in the dark was crazy hard, but Jess and I have a great connection, which made it super fun!
Last Sunday I had a shoot with Cam Tu Nguyen, a girl who I’ve featured on Zen Garage before (shot by Nic Mesker, Cam is one of Nic’s fave muses). Cam came around in the morning. I was still on a high from the shoot with Pauline, and like that shoot, Cam and I just ended up having a great D&M straight off the bat. We could have chatted all day (well, we did actually!), but we thought we’d make the most of the amazing weather and shoot outdoors (something I’ve not done with a model yet), but like I said… I was on a high from shooting with Pauline, who’s been mentoring me a little and my newfound confidence is helping me to try new things without fear.
We drive down to Botany and did a small trek down to some rocks. The initial idea was to get to the old war bunkers but Cam was in heels, which made it pretty much impossible (next time!). We grabbed some burgers at some point, then rattled off a few shots at home. Feeling adventurous we then shot in my R32 Golf. Again, something I never really wanted to do. Photos of girls with cars just don’t do it for me, most of the time they’re pretty tacky, but I reckon we pulled it off in style and they’re some of my fave pics from the day.
I’ll be sure to shoot with Cam again. Was super fun and felt a lot more like hanging out than working, which is exactly how I want it to be!
