Take the Nikon Z6 II to the Fashion Runway

My fashion photography career began in 2014 when my good friend, Jess Dempsey encouraged me to shoot street style because I loved fashion, style and people. So off I went and travelled around the world, attending Fashion Weeks to photograph everyday fashionistas. I would patiently wait, scout and capture outstanding outfits, combined with good light and the right moment. This has taught me resilience and how to build a rapport, understand style and take a good photo in 5 mins. Since then I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work for WGSN (global trend forecasting agency) and contribute to online publications like Vogue Australia as a Fashion Film maker. It’s a real pinch-me moment to look back at the years as an ‘outsider’ to now sitting front row at Melbourne Fashion Festival with the latest Nikon Z6II camera.

So here’s a stop motion video to showcase how insanely fast and accurate the face + eye tracking feature, and the 14FPS hyper continuous shooting mode is on the Nikon Z6 II camera. I highly recommend this camera if you want to capture your favourite looks without missing the beat!










Nikon Presents: Z Creator Fashion Photography Workshop coming June 26th

 

Hey!!!👋🏼  How are you guys?

 

It’s been ages but I’m here! Just been buried with business ventures and exciting collaborations.

So here is one I would love to share with you!!!

🔜   Coming 26th of June, I’ve partnered with Nikon Australia to bring you a one day fashion photography workshop.

 

This is what I’ll be covering…

☑️. How to plan for a fashion photoshoot (Featuring Bally fashion)

☑️. How to prepare a photoshoot brief

☑️. How to direct and style a professional model

☑️. The benefits of the mirrorless to create fashion images

 

This will be your chance to play with Nikon mirrorless Z cameras and ask me questions. The mirrorless cameras has literally broaden my photography horizon that I can’t EVEN explain how career-changing it has been for me. It has literally opened the doors to venture into film making and I’m all IN. I find creating compelling + impactful short stories for Brands is incredibly fulfilling because I can add so much emotion and sound to my story-telling. And of-course the mirrorless has enabled me to do just that.

You are probably wondering why now? Well that’s because 5 years ago, the technology wasn’t advanced enough to allow me to be nimble and use two hands. Remember those awful huge gimbals and monopods???

Thank God it’s now possible to be more agile and creative with our angles!

 

Anyway I could go on and on about it, but why not come and join my fashion workshop to find out more?

Enjoy and can’t wait to meet you!

3 Must Have Apps to Edit Photos & Videos Like a Pro

editing apps, editing tips, social media tips, instagram growth, growth hack, snapseed, inshot, vsco, videos, photos

As a Professional Photographer and Film Maker I cannot live without these 3 editing phone apps because I’m constantly needing to create social media content on the fly and lighting fast! Let me tell you why…

1️⃣  Snapseed

As well as correcting the image colour balance and exposure, you can also zoom right in and pinpoint the exact spot of where you want to brighten, sharpen and even remove that zit that was bothering you all day. (Shhhh… We didn’t even know it was there!)

2️⃣  VSCO

VSCO have curated a series of complementary filters for a consistent and aesthetically pleasing Instagram feed. Simply choose the perfect filter, copy and apply to all the selected images and Voilà, you didn’t even have to edit the images individually. My favourite feature on VSCO is that you can apply the filters on Videos too!

3️⃣  InShot

If you want to be the first to post on IG Stories after you go to an event, then this is the must-have app. You can literally slice and dice, add music, text and cool effects to your videos in a matter of 15 minutes. Boom!
