A selection of my images are available for purchase at Redbubble.com, if you haven’t heard of it. Redbubble is an online artists community, but also an avenue for the artists to sell their works as various products such as photographic prints, greeting cards, canvas prints even Iphone covers and T-shirts.
Below is a preview of some of the things I have for sale, which you can click-through to if you wish to buy it
Thought it might be nice for everyone to learn a little about what drives me each and everyday
My 18 mth old daughter is my inspiration and who continues to drive me towards my dream. She is my everything, and my most unwilling model 🙂
When she was born, it was discovered she had Hip Dysplasia in her left hip. We thought it may happen as we do have a family history of the condition, so I already had a fair idea of what to expect thanks to many hours of research. It did get worse though, when she was 6 weeks old we were told that it was in both hips, and the condition was worse than first thought and surgery was the only option. That was extremely hard to hear, and heartbreaking
The first half of this year, is my time to practise as much as I can and to learn as much as possible before I head in the portfolio building phase. So I thought it would be helpful for me, to write the things I’ve learnt from the previous shoot.
Sunday night, I had my first shoot of the year. A maternity shoot for a friend that I have known since we were in high school together.
I decided that this year was the year that I start getting my act together and start doing shoots for another people not only to build up my portfolio but also my confidence. Thankfully Steph was willing to be a test subject for me
It’s safe to say the weather sunday night was pretty yuck, it was hot, humid and windy. In the end I feel we got some beautiful images.
Thanks again to Steph and Paul, can’t wait for the next shoot when the weather is a little nicer 🙂
