Hello there, sexy drip 💧💓 Gosh, I love a good acti Hello there, sexy drip 💧💓 Gosh, I love a good action shot, even when it's only one little drop of milk. I had so many different takes, but this one was the most dramatic. And yes, this is real, not AI.

Recent work for @wellandgoodfoods. How luck am I to get hired by these folks to create fun shots like this!? 😃

Who loves a good loaf of sourdough bread?! 🍞🥖 I've Who loves a good loaf of sourdough bread?! 🍞🥖 I've been on the journey of unlocking the secrets of homemade sourdough for almost 10 years now, and I still get excited every time the loaves come out of the oven! That crust, the fluffy crumb, the flavours!! 💕😋
.
So naturally I got very excited when i was asked by @sourdoughstarter.com.au to create a stop motion video with their starter kit. I love coming up with these little mini stories and bringing them to life 😃. Their starter was tripled and bubbly in under 30 minutes and I was off baking... so easy.

Same client, very different style to the last phot Same client, very different style to the last photos I posted. The brief for this one was dreamy, natural, soft. It stretched me in the other direction, because naturally I like to use a lot of saturation and clarity in my edits. But that wouldn't have fit the product.

While challenging, sometimes it's nice to be pushed out of your comfort zone. Keeps it exciting!

Something a little different for me. 💥 This serie Something a little different for me. 💥
This series was great fun to shoot. Bright simple colours, no props, just the cans and hands. Good challenge for someone who has a tendency to put too much stuff into a scene!

And yes the floor was soooo sticky afterwards. 😂

Summer is over, and so is the lovely sunny light Summer is over, and so is the lovely sunny light  that creates such magic in our photos... 🌞☀️Hahaaa, if you've been following me you'll know I rarely shoot with natural light. Yes it is magical, but way too temperamental for my workflow. Love how versatile studio lighting is.
Whatcha think? Did I manage to make it look like a sunny afternoon in this shot?
