Money, Thats What I Want...

Well I don't care what other people say, I think this 1979 version of "Money" is the best version ever! And... I think its contains a timely reminder that the "New Paradigm" of "Everything is free (on the net)" and well, everything-is-free is not a particularly sustainable concept.

"Your love gives me such a thrill, but your love won't pay my bills. I want MONEY..."



I have done a couple of blog posts on the pitfalls of "free" or no-budget in photography here, How to produce a good lookbook and here, what it takes to produce a good modelling portfolio; for anyone interested in such things.

In a nutshell it takes skill, talent, time and well you know... Money !~)


Oh and the original Flying Lizards clip is here. Yeah, Fun, Creativity and ... thats what I want.

Portraits and Fashion Photography Sydney!

I have just spent most of today making a few changes and upgrades to my web site. The first was to put all the portraits I have been taking against the fibro wall into the portrait section of the site all on their own page. So now with these shots of Paul I have 10 portraits in the wall series Here.

Paul, Open Shade Portrait 1

Paul, Open Shade Portrait 2

Its great to have somewhere very close at hand that allows me to make a series of portraits like these; many more yet to come.

I also managed to get up a page of the New Beauty Photography shot at the studio in Balmain.

And although its been blogged in full here, In The night A Lonely Hunter can now be seen as a horizontal scrolling story. I think the left to right format almost always looks better.

Male Model Porfolio Shoot


Impromptu because Brent (grey tee) and Josh (black coat) turned up with Manon last week, Friends/Entourage/Posse; well they gave her a lift and wanted to hang around for a bit and I guess see what happens on a shoot. Well as a rule we don't let people that aren't working on the shoot hang around but the minute I saw these guys I though wow! I just have to shoot them.


I don't normally use props either but I knew the big horse hip bone was going to be the perfect prop to loosen things up. Brent has a great editorial Look while Josh went straight to Commercial! Lots of fun mucking about (serious fun mind you) while Manon was in H&MU. And I just love this wall in this light, we are going to see a lot more shots taken there.


I hope you like the shots, I think they are vibing a bit of Bruce Webber! Cool, thanks guys.
