August 3rd saw us at the beach with the Bryan family, one of our old clients. It was great to see them again after a few years. They hadn't changed a bit! We spent an hour or so on the beach and had some great fun. Thanks to everyone for the shoot and for the weather for coming up trumps!

We used a mixture of 70-200mm, 50mm 1.2 lenses with daylight and Elinchrom Quadra lights with a 70cm softbox.

Here are a few images from the day and we look forward to you seeing the rest.

Stunning set of images as always Brett. Are you still using off camera flash and pocket wizard's or have the Quadra's taken over?

Last Friday saw us hit the beach for our day course "Lifestyle at the Beach."Unlike last year the weather was amazing this time and we all had a great time on the sands.Thank you to everyone that made it down to the studio for the day.We left the studio early and headed for the beach to get shooting! Starting off with Anna and her beauitful kids, Scarlet & Dan. We looked at using reflectors, sun as a reflective light, using shade, on camera high speed flash. We then did a few images using Radio triggers and our Elinchrom kit with soft box. We then headed off into town for a great lunch. After lunch we photographed the very patient and beuatiful Imogen, using off camera flash we photographed her around the dunes & pier finishing off with Esther & her beautiful kids , Holly & Ella - ( a lot of beautiful people on one beach!!)

Here are a few images from the day.

Shots from the behind the scenes & some behind scenes video from our overnight course to come!!

All good here thanks, I'm loving all my shoots since seeing u, my works improved heaps, even my editing has changed, loving the punchier pics that jump out at u, makes my older stuff look a tad flat...! I'm actually being more assertive during the shoot too and 'acting' fully in control like I've been doing it all my life ;0) Cant thank u n Kris enough for sharing some of yr amazing knowledge.
Hope yr both well and not working too hard!!!...
