Sure, I guess I do this every year! But I will really try to post news about current jobs and highlights on a regular basis rather than intermittently as I tend to do..

Since my last post - wow! 2011 was a really amazing year, especially the latter part which is probably why my blog has been silent - just too busy with a really diverse range and projects and exciting colleborations. The HIGHLIGHT was really the opportunity to shoot work for a new screen dance development working with the incredible choreographic facilitator Carol Wellman Kelly and the amazing dancer Lisa Grififths. We worked on a piece titled 'The Human Locomotion Project' which has it's own blog, so check it out here..We were able to work with an amazing technical team to shoot Time Slice ('Bullet Time') sequences with an array of 15 cameras - pretty exciting stuff. I will post more about it as the edit progresses.

Here's a shot from the project..

I also worked on a residency at Flinders Medical Centre, shooting timelapse work as a moving image snapshot of what goes on in the hospital - pretty intense and fascinating stuff. The outcomes of this work will be shown during the Adelaide Fringe Festival. I also worked on a project called 'Word on the Street' which was a more documentary-style project in the city, working with artists Steve Noonan and Sandy Elvard. On top of that I continued working with a diverse range of clients on commercial photography, including corporate client Maxxia along with the usual range of creative clients including the Adelaide Fringe. It was fantasic to combine architectural work for Maxxia with portaits of their Adelaide staff. Here are a few shots from that shoot. The Adelaide Icons were used for a tender that Maxxia was delivering, to show their commitment to Adelaide.

On the creative side, here are some images shot for performer for Steve Sheehan as publicity images for his show 'Stevl Shefn and his Translator Fatima'...I was giggling so much during the shoot because Steve is genuinely hilarious, and this show is soooo funny.

I also shot the annual Ausdance SA Xmas Dance Spectacular show in Rundle Mall. Here are a few shots from that show - always a huge challenge to shoot, but I do really enjoy trying to capture the diversity, energy and range of styles presented.

January 2012 is shaping up nicely given I'm only working for a couple of weeks this month, and then heading off to the Island for a week. I have taught my first Lightroom workshop - at the Centre for Creative Photography in early January. It's really exciting to branch into teaching Lightroom. It broadens the range of my photography teaching to complement my teaching in Digital Photography and photographic styles & history.

This month will so far also see a model portfolio, another shoot for Zephyr Quartet, and a shoot with dancers Billie Cook and Gabrielle Nankivell. I am also editing the first 'vignette' from the Human Locomotion Project, which is very exciting. So, more posts more ofen this year - hoping for another fun year of creative and challenging photography and moving image work :)xx
