It was so nice working in the studio with Andrea Ramirez - Miss Universe NZ 2026 candidate.
When we were done in the studio, we had a fun shoot in the shed.
I'm looking forward to more colabs with Andrea :)

I didn’t get a lot of work done today. I spent most of my time keeping an eye on my new apprentice. Andrea’s pretty handy with the power tools ;)

While teaching last nights Fraser Adult Community Education DSLR/M2 class I jumped in very close for a quick recap on lens distortion".
24mm (zoomed all the way out/wide) close to Lexies foot giving her a super long leg.
Usually lens distortion is a disadvantage that we need to be aware of and avoid, but it can also be used creatively.

I was in the mood for a black n white edit, so here's Lexie :)

Now that was fun!
Saturday night’s Hospice Waikato & Montana Food and Events Bucket List Banquet was an incredibly enjoyable evening as the smiles in all of these images show.
I’m glad Marty Brown Portraiture got me in as second shooter and gave me the Photo Booth to look after all night. Marty then had the massive job of processing both his and my images. Good on you mate ;)
