  Who says being a photographer is all fun and games? / Well – I can tell you – it’s a terrible, terrible thing. Last Friday, I had the misfortune of having 8 beautiful, sensual girls come and play girly dress-ups at my house. And wouldn’t you know it? They actually wanted me to shoot the affair! Clothes flying everywhere, dancing in skimpy thingies – it is a wonder I didn’t have a bloody heart attack, I can tell you! / / All this was due to Yasemin and Naomi lending their services as colorist and make-up artist. / / Possibly the longest and most bandwidth-intensive journal entry ever, here we go….. / / / / Setting the scene… / 1* / / / Lots of girls getting dressed, and out comes the camera… / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / / / 5 / / / Next was make-up time… / 6 / / / 7 / / / 8 / / / 9 / / / ...and hair… / 10 / / / 11 / / / 12 / / / 13 / / / Yup, hair done…now dress-ups :) / 14 / / / 15 / / / 16 / / / and of course, poses… / 17 / / / 18 / / / 19 / / / 20 / / / 21 / / / 22 / / / 23 / / / 24 / / / 25 / / / 26 / / / Troy was a 4-armed angel… / 27 / / / ...but with a sneaky side… / 28 / / / ..and another side… / 29 / / / Erin decided to try and slice me open… / 30 / / / ...and Troy showed her how… / 31 / / / As the alcohol flowed freely, they danced… / 32 / / / ...and fell over a lot… / 33 / / / which tired them out and allowed me to take some candids… / 34 / / / 35 / / / 36 / / / 37 / / / 38 / / / 39 / / / 40 / / / 41 / / / 42 / / / 43 / / / 44 / / / 45 / / / 46 / / / 47 / / / 48 / / / 49 / / / ..and some poses…and artsy stuff… / 50 / / / 51 / / / 52 / / / 53 / / / 54 / / / 55 / / / 56 / / / 57 / / / 58 / / / 59* / / / / / / Hope you enjoyed it, and girls – you are welcome anytime :)

  Hien is one of those wedding photographers you tell all your engaged friends about. I know that one day when someone makes an honest woman out of me, I’ll be a-knocking at his door. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when he invited me to come along to a ‘Trash the Dress’ shoot and spread my creative vibes and help with art direction. And like I could pass up the chance to watch a couple of lovely normal individual’s run amok with paint and scissors? It all started off fairly normal and wedding like… Then we had a change of scenery… There was some pleading… But it was futile. The idea of getting covered in paint and ripping apart a perfectly good wedding dress was just too delicious to pass up :) Twas a big bunch of fun Hien. Thanks for inviting me along for the ride.

  Landell Designs – Fashion Shoot / / Contact: landelldesigns@hotmail.com / / Recently I had the absolute pleasure of conducting a fashion shoot at The Croft Institute / I was approached by Lisa Defazio in regards to doing this shoot and leaped at the opportunity! / / / Model: Lelia Thomas / / / / Lisa was also sweet enough to answer some questions for me…. / / PLV So, what exactly is it that you do? / LISA I am a clothing designer, I make wearable fashionable clothing that flatters the female form…it is what I was born to do. I had a sewing machine before I attended primary school. / / / Model: Jo O’Brien / / / / PLV How do people get to see your stunning designs up close? / LISA I can be contacted on the email address above regarding event nights. My label is not available in stores only at invitation only events. / My first launch will be held within the next four weeks. / / / Model: Rebecca McLean / / PLV Where is your business headed? / LISA I want to be an exclusive well recognized quality Australian label made locally with concept stores in every capital city – to begin with :) / Then New York, London, Paris, Germany and Japan. / / / Model: Bridget Mcgrath / / PLV Tell us more about you as a designer… / LISA I believe fashion doesn’t have to be overly complex or difficult to wear, I intend my clothing line to be the garments you look forward to wearing, to be the first thing you reach for in your wardrobe. I design items that can be worn in a variety of ways, dressed up or down and can be worn by the young and old alike, classy, distinctive, timeless often with styling from another time. Proportion and silhouette are of paramount importance to me, the cut of the cloth should do all the work for the wearer. / / / / / / LISA In reality I am hoping the label Landell Designs will offer women solutions, giving them the pieces they have been looking for but could never find; flattering beautiful clothing they love to wear. / PLV Thanks Lisa! :D / / / Model: Lisa Defazio / / / /

  This is a trash the dress I did on the weekend in Perth. It was COLD so I tried my best to shoot as quick as possible.

• Jo O'Brien - the singing parrot
  by Darren Stones

  By Darren Stones – Freelance Photojournalist / Subscribe via RSS/Atom...

  By Darren Stones – Freelance Photojournalist / Subscribe via RSS/Atom Singing like a parrot whilst wearing a gold dress in the shower, may be the road to super-stardom for zany RedBubble member, Jo O’Brien. DS. Is that your real hair colour? JO’B. Yes, it absolutely is. When I was in Year 9 (and I had coloured my hair to death), I shaved it all off No. 1 style and started to grow it all back. Since then, I have learned to leave my hair alone. DS. What shampoo do you use? JO’B. I get different shampoo all the time based on what is on special (oh the bargain hunter emerges!) At the moment it’s… um…. a purple bottle of some variety. DS. Does your bathroom have an IXL Tastic 3-In-1 light? JO’B. No. I jump out shivering in the cold air. I don’t even have a heater in my bathroom. It’s getting a bit desperate. DS. Do you wash the dishes in the shower? JO’B. I have occasionally washed my coffee cup in there when the kitchen sink looked like a five-armed monster. I was too scared of what I might find in there if I started moving dishes to make room. But not as a regular thing. I should probably start doing this as a water saving effort. DS. Are you a ‘Wally with water’, or do you shower in less than three minutes? JO’B. I’m generally good, but you may have noticed I have a hell of a lot of hair so occasionally I slip up. I do also have a tendency to have baths, because they are so relaxing and I’m a work-a-holic stress head. DS. Does your bathroom sink tap drip at a rate of one litre per hour? JO’B. Thankfully no, I turn it off nice and tight. Dripping taps drive me insane. DS. Does your bathroom window sill have 12 bottles of perfume on it? JO’B. I have two bottles of perfume, one inherited and one was a present. I love perfume, but it’s not the kind of thing I’d go out and buy myself. Actually, my window sill has nothing on it at the moment – I had a party here recently and therefore cleaned up. DS. Do you think this photograph will catapult you to national stardom? JO’B. I am certain it will. I’ve already doubled the locks on my house for when the media starts hounding me, and never leave the house without giant celebrity style sunglasses. I’m still working on losing 75% of my body weight though. DS. Are you a better singer than Australia’s singing budgie Kylie Minogue? JO’B. I go for more of a ‘parrot’ sound in my singing. Kylie does the ‘budgie’ thing. It’s really like comparing apples to oranges. We’re both good at our chosen style. DS. Do you watch Big Brother? JO’B. Yes. Now just pretend you didn’t hear that and move on.

  As it is school holidays and I am always looking for ways to entertain the kids – I thought what better way than to put them in front of the camera. I mean what little girl doesn’t love dressing up? And the bonus…I get to practice my photography!!! The girls had an absolute ball and I have ended up with over 300 photos. My dilema now is choosing the best ones as there are so many great shots!! I thought I would share 4 of my favourites with you…

  Hi All, / Today i had some fun with my Camera Club, Pakenham Camera Club . The PCC organised a model shoot for it’s members. / A very special thanks to Roy for allowing the club to use his studio and home, and also for all of Roy’s amazing knowledge and advice! Pakenham Camera Club has a wide range of age groups and expertise amoung these age groups… some die hard film shooters and also the new digital shooters… The camera club caters for all alike and try and encourage all members to partake where possible, if you are near or far and looking for a great club with a bunch of great members… give us a try! Ok back to the images…....I have had a play with the processing to achieve a certain style and i pretty much had this in mind when i shot them, i wanted that film noir, dark and moody dorothy in the wizard of Oz feel to them… Not sure i have got there with what i intended but i am pretty happy with the results all the same! Here are a couple from today!

  WEDDING dresses, they’re enough to send any bride into a tizzy. You’ve agonised over the decision, you’ve tried hundreds on, spent thousands, now trash it. It no longer comes down to deciding between cream, white or ivory. It’s all about what you’re going to do with the dress once you’ve said ‘I do. A new trend in wedding dress photography is sweeping the country, encouraging brides to destroy their dresses. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 100,000 marriages take place each year, and brides are now looking for wedding photography that goes beyond a passionate embrace. Want to trash your wedding dress and have photos taken…What do you think? Is it creativity or destruction? Would you trash your wedding dress?
