Exhibition
The Bodyblocks Show 2011

The Bodyblocks Show was the third exhibition in a series of ‘body’ themed group shows hosted by Exposure Gallery and curated by Leah Hawker. The work shown was a playful collection of body photography, presented on blocks, by a mixture of upcoming and established photographers. The brief asked for photographic works connected to the body; be it political, private, public, personal, sensual or playful.

 

While the works on exhibition were mixed, Ive made selection of my favourite images of women from the show.

The Chronicle covered the show,- article by Katja Hamilton.

And some pics from the opening of the show.

PORTRAITURE: A nude in gold

This was a purely for-fun shoot which I completed in March 2011 in my studio. I had already done one similar shoot all in pink and this was a follow on in the series.

We drew about 10k in small and medium bank notes as props and I bought a bunch of gold props and fabrics. I painted an old found headboard and side table and broken chairs I’d found in a derelict yard near the studio as well as an old telephone, and other porcelain found objects. It was a nice project in set building a detailed postproduction.

Below is a screen grab from the raw, working files. You can see how much changed in postproduction in this final image above.

And some screen shots taken from the video footage…

I did a lovely, spontaneous, short and very natural maternity shoot with Jax and little Sascha on the beach and in studio, both with natural light.

SWIMWEAR EDITORIAL: Beach Daze

I shot this short swimsuit story in early 2010 on Camps Bay beach. The theme was for the images to look Summery, playful (friends hanging out at the beach having a beach day) and relaxed.
