So over people hating on “stance”

Has been an interesting and entertaining 48hrs on the JDMST forums/facebook group. I couldn’t help but write a feature this morning, so therapeutic!

1/1 Reebok Pumps

These 1/1 (they’re samples) Reebok Pumps are all mine! Yesterday we hosted The Kickz Stand Sneaker Swap Meet at Zen Garage and the boys gave me these kicks as a gift to say thanks. Was an amazing day despite the weather. I didn’t take any shots, but Ved did and I can’t wait to see his shots!


Mia having a good sniff like any sneaker freaker would.


Pumps!


Like a little window into the universe. I was always so fascinated by the see-through bits on sneakers as a kid.

Behind the Scenes: Simone Peres Ferrari 328 GTS Shoot

I so need to clone myself. Last night I wanted to be at 2 places at the same time; The Harley-Davidson art show (check the previous post) and shooting Simmy with a 328 GTS with Photographer Matthew Mead for Zen Garage.

Whilst I didn’t make it to my own shoot, I spent some of today hanging out with Simmy and editing Sergio’s behind the scenes shots which made me feel a little better (she’s gorgeous and he’s getting good at shooting! All I did was a bit of dynamic cropping and slight colour adjustments).

Check out the shots: http://zengarage.com.au/2013/11/behind-the-scenes-simone-peres-ferrari-328-gts-shoot

Harley-Davidson For the Love of Lids – Opening Night

My coverage of last night’s Harley-Davidson “For the Love of Lids” art show at Mary’s in Newtown is now up on Zen Garage. Was an amazing night hanging out with great people, great art, bikes, music, fried chicken, burgers and booze!

Visit: http://zengarage.com.au/2013/11/harley-davidson-for-the-love-of-lids-opening-night

PS: The show ends on the 30th of this month, so be sure to drop into Mary’s Newtown (Mary St.) before it ends!


Group shot of all the Artists.


TJ Guzzardi’s helmet. So glad to have met this guy, he’s amazing (we featured him a while back).


Ben Brown’s wild piece. I’ve know of Ben’s work for YEARS. So glad to finally meet this guy too!


Nanami’s piece on the left and Lachlan Bruce’s larger than life helmet on the right.


Our menu for the night, lots of people braved the JD Shake! Personally I stayed on the Young Henry’s and highly recommend the Mary’s Burger (oh… and the chicken!).

Little Bastard, because live music rocks.


The crowd.

JoJo Diamond shoot for Zen Garage

Last Sunday I spent the day shooting JoJo at my place (she’s heaps of fun and cute as a button!). I was hoping for heaps of natural light (as my trusty GF1 loves it) but unfortunately it was a rainy day. I thought about postponing, but after a few words with some photographer friends (especially Matthew Mead who gave me words of encouragement) I decided to accept the challenge, give it a go, and try something different.

You’re meant to shoot with the light behind you, but I spent most of the day shooting silhouettes on purpose. I’m really happy with the end results. My fave pics below, more photos from the day on Zen Garage: http://zengarage.com.au/2013/11/jojo


Shooting into the light. Love this shot. Captures the grey day. JoJo’s pose is natural and her face looks amazing.


Had plenty of light for this shot so it came out normal (not silhouetted). JoJo hates this shot, but I love it, one of my faves.


Hair up! One of JoJo’s fave shots (it’s currently her facebook profile image!).


I went for a few fully silhouetted shots with some interesting results.


My fave shot of the day. I love it that the background is blown out, and that JoJo needs more light, it’s the wrong thing to do when shooting in low light, but it makes for a dynamic result.
