Sometimes the simplest setups create the most striking results. This image of Tayla came together with just two Neewer Q6 studio strobes, a mirror, and a large piece of paper full of holes — yes, really! The inspiration came from the iconic Hedy Lamarr and those dazzling Hollywood Silver Sirens
Still life photography has always been about telling stories through objects, textures, and light. My latest creation, Florals and Port Wine, is a perfect example of how a few carefully chosen elements can weave a narrative steeped in mystery, beauty, and a touch of the macabre. The inspiration This piece
Sometimes, the stars align. A moody location, a strong concept, and a creative challenge that pushes you just far enough out of your comfort zone to make something truly memorable. That’s exactly what happened with this image—The Last Train—a portrait I took as part of a High ISO challenge. I
You don’t necessarily need a macro lens to capture great macro images. Take these photos of a green apple. I used my Tamron 70 – 30mm lens, but as I cannot really get close enough for true macro, I used my Vella extension tubes. Light was supplied by my Godox
I adore playing in the studio and getting creative with some lighting. This session was all about some pretty springtime blooms and high key. I was playing with the new Neewer HS60B LED Light. This is a bi-color continuous hand-held light and it comes with the cute little dome diffuser

For this image, I wanted to create a dramatic, high-contrast black-and-white silhouette portrait that emphasized shape, texture, and emotion. The vision I envisioned a moody, almost ethereal portrait—one that played with highlights and
I was recently sent the Sol5 bi-colour LED light for mobile from Harlowe. Such a terrific little light designed to attach to a MagSafe phone case for video light. It’s small and portable, but I thought, there are some other uses for it too. So, I set up a simple
As part of a 52-week challenge I’m doing, I wanted to capture “Motion Blur.” My goal was to step outside my comfort zone and create something I normally would photograph. There was a carnival setup just near my house and it had a large Ferris wheel. How I got the
I started a 52-week challenge on January 1st as a way of thinking creatively and challenging myself. I set up some still-life scenes in my little home studio with the theme “What I eat.” I wanted to capture something more vintage, more old school ‘Master’s’ chiaroscuro-styled lighting. It was dark
I recently ran some Animal Encounter Photoshoots at Reptile Encounters in Burwood. We had three encounters in total and everyone had a blast. I really want to try to underlight the frogs and small reptiles with my Huion Light Pad. I also had a Neewer CB200C LED Light to light
“The winds are crazy! That last gust almost knocked me over!” This was the first radio transmission that we heard from Tim. Would we have a chance to photograph Comet C/2023 A3 before it disappeared from view? Comet C/2023 A3 We were “comet chasing” Comet C/2023 A3, otherwise known as
