  • Again, another shot from Paso Robles – “Portrait of a Hot Rod Couple” – no that’s not Chris Isaak in the front seat…. however, I think he might have spent just as much time on his hair! The amount of beautifully painted machines around the couple is jaw dropping for me…. I’m defintely coming back here next year!

  • Originally B&W film shot, I then coloured it in photoshop. A photo from my 1940’s/50’s inspired series of my sister.

  • Part of a Retro Pin-Up series at Hosier Lane, Melbourne. This image is also showcased in the 2009 calendar (click image to view the calendar) /

  • Here’s my famous red vinyl chair and red phone! These have been used in quite a few photo shoots now – although, this is the first photo where the two items get in the limelight. This laneway is located near Hosier Lane in Melbourne, adorned with graffiti and stencil art. Getting the phone to the laneway from the carpark at Fed Square was easy. Getting the chair there wasn’t!

  • I’d like to say this was shot somewhere exotic, however, it’s actually the Oakleigh Motel (Victoria).... great building though!

  • This was shot in an amazing house, it was caught in a time capsule….the property was recently sold and the furniture sold off too, this shoot is all that remains. I wanted to look back, not through the rose coloured glasses we usually gaze back with, but to look at the tension that lies just below the surface. The 50’s and early 60’s have this all to perfect image, surface image that is…

  • Attended the most amazing Rockabilly weekend festival in Las Vegas, and this was the view from the famous Gold Coast Hotel… Thought I died went back in time! Who wouldn’t want to live in that era!

  • D.I.Y. is one of ‘those’ skill sets. Either you can indeed do it yourself or you best get someone else to do it! MissT has always struggled with the practical self help stuff, just looking at a car engine results in the breaking a fingernail and getting covered in oil. Her one foray into carpentry turned into an voyage of discovery as she searched for a right angle and found only wrong angles and blisters. But our girl is plucky and never one to give up. Today she’s going to hang this lovely picture she bougth from RedBubble. See her prepare… / Steel toecapped high heels just in case… check! / Protective leopard print dressing gown… check! / Identify wall… check. / Practice swing with hammer… youch! text by the talented Andrew Walker model, the luscious MissT

  • I copyright 2009 / quote by Marilyn Monroe / of course if you didn’t recognise her you have been living under a rock. I did this shoot in college for a portrait project where we had to recreate famous portraits. I chose to remake this one http://web.naplesnews.com/ceandw/122006/images/cal_MarilynBallerina.jpg / I got help with the lighting set up then I adjusted it and took it. My second time with studio lighting !! I got my make up done in the makeup department and the wig there to. / I wanted to do it properly. / canon 1000d

  • Photo Montage taken in the historic City of Bath, UK. I’VE PUT SOME CLOSE UPS FROM THIS PIECE IN MY “VIEW ALL ART” BIT!

  • A belated description. / This is an ode to unhealthy relationships. Not the ones where you have an argument every once in a while, or maybe lots of little ones all over the place, but otherwise everything is peachy keen. This is to the other kind, even or uneven, where one or the other has to protect themselves, in all kinds of ways. Do they stay and learn how to take it, or protect themselves better? Or do they lose everything except their freedom and fly away? I have placed the ‘fight’ bride in a small area that is cramped and hard to breathe, holding her dress and hair up as a barrier. Whereas our ‘flight’ bride has lots of space to move, is making herself free of the confines of the dress, taking down the barrier.
