Time again for the annual tradition where I look back on my year’s work and choose ten photos that I feel best represent my work, my professional development or significant personal milestones. As always, narrowing the selection down to just 10 is a challenge, but overall I’m pleased with my year, the skills I have learned and the achievements I have made. Following is a post showing the selected images in chronological order, and a few words each about them. I hope you enjoy these works!
January 6th – Nude in an abandoned building
This year got off to an amazing start as I did a beautiful shoot with a dear friend in an incredible location. Being a local of Emerald and with a few contacts who can get me access to locations the public don’t often see is a great boon for my photography. This particular location is a century old brick building of cultural significance. The things that made it special to me as a shoot location was the gorgeous textures and patinas on the walls and floor, as well as two windows, high in adjacent walls, which catch the late afternoon sun and project beams of golden light into the space. I knew it would be an amazing location for an art nude shoot, and I was extremely fortunate that Elain volunteered to shoot here with me on only her second art nude shoot. Though it was very hot, and I had to clear the floor of pigeon droppings, the shoot worked out exactly how I imagined it to! This image is my favourite from the shoot due to the beautiful lighting, the wonderful pose by Elain and the mood of the scene. I even sold a print of this image in my first solo exhibition!

This is another photo from the anonymous lingerie shoot I did a few weeks ago, but the model and I are now working through the shoot to decide which photos will be suitable for the public album, so hopefully soon you’ll see a lot more! :D

My 10th Anniversary as a Photographer

Ten years ago today, I took this photo of a Blue Linkya sea star in our marine aquarium, my first with a DSLR:
I have always had an interest in photography, and I’d even owned a crappy digital compact camera before this one, but once I saved up and bought the Sigma SD10 photography truly became a passion of mine.
In the last 10 years photography has become more than just a passion, but a profession and a major part of how I define who I am as a person. I have met many people and made amazing friends. I have had experiences that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. I have learned to see the world in ways that I couldn’t have imagined without seeing them through the lens. I have become a photography educator and helped tens of thousands of people to become better photographers themselves, and in doing so I have earned enough money (with Naomi’s help!) to buy the home of our dreams.
Photography drives me, keeps me young and creative and never ceases to give me something to look forward to, whether it’s the next shoot or what I imagine doing with the camera in another ten years. Whatever it is, I’m certain it will be as fulfilling and fun as it is today.
Thank you for coming along with me on this journey. I hope you will enjoy watching my work for the next ten!
