Rocky

Shy and a little nervous, Rocky came along to my studio as a guest of Annie Curry. She didn’t know me, but it wasn’t too long before we had her twirling and happy :)

This was one of the first images I took. I shot with Lensbaby composer exclusively. Annie has some shots to share as well.

Canon 5D Mk II, 50mm lensbaby, f/4, ISO 800, shot at my studio in Sumner Park, Brisbane.
