Michelle Lucas
Monday, April 23rd, 2007Business and life coach Michelle Lucas visited Breathe today for commercial portraiture. The photography brief required quite tradition head and shoulder shots, although with some creative cropping and off camera eyeline focus, I think we’ve achieved a less contrived tone. I took some time to check in with Michelle’s online assessment of my career path and personal potential. A series of dropdowns rates how much […]
Award nomination for ‘Katie Ella’
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Annabel Williams is recognised in the UK as a tutor to thousands of aspiring photographers and those already working professionally seeking mentoring in this highly competitive industry. I’ve not personally had the good fortune to meet or work with Annabel, but entered her recent awards initiative to gain some feedback for some of our signature images. So […]
South African wedding day 6: Frick’s Farm
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007Roads. More roads. More long long, very long, extremely long, straight, never veering, long roads.

Usually on my travels I’ll have a geographical outline in my head of where I’m going. But in that the itinerary was organised by someone else, in […]
South African wedding days 3 and 4: Heia
Monday, April 2nd, 2007We had a couple of rest days before our trek across SA into the Free State, the next part of this adventure. There’s a part of Heia that is safe enough to walk around, save the scorpions and Puff Adders! Springboks, Impala, Zebra, Vervet monkeys, and Giraffes frequent this fenced segment of the ranch that […]
