Here are 6 of 500 pictures from a shoot that I did with photographer Sam Varendorff, last Friday for a competition to win the cover shot of the second issue of GCMAG.
It was quite a last minute thing, I had less than a day to find outfits, props and make up for it but somehow we did it and we are pretty happy with the results.
We were lucky enough to have an amazing model in Alexys Mackenzie, a great location in Burleigh beach, a beautiful sunny day and a great rapport between the three of us, making it a pretty great morning, capturing a lot of very natural and very Gold Coast shots.
We started at 6am, nice and early so we could catch the sunrise.. we did miss it by a few minutes but it didn't deter us.. on we pushed, Sam with his camera, Alexys with her amazing posing and me with my make up brush and wafter.
We managed about 6 outfit changes and locations in about 3 hours, not bad going to say it I was running off 2 hours sleep at ugly o'clock with NO COFFEE!!
Anyway here is the end result for your viewing pleasure.. I'll try and figure out how to put an album up on here so I can post them all, but for now, here they are...
As my first non-college related photo shoot with magazine cover potential, this was an absolutely amazing experience, to style with no direction from teachers was quite bizarre, quite worrying but quite wonderful at the same time. I learned some lessons; what to do/not to do next time, things I could've taken with me that would have come in handy etc etc.
All in all a great day (morning) with great people and some great results. What a great opportunity and experience to have had already. Keep them coming please!!
