Grand Masters of the Surf
The veteran sea dogs of Cottesloe – the Harmony Crew – fronted up at the studio on Saturday in their rowing regalia for the “Gun’s Up!” portrait project.
Led by Owen “Major” Ashby, the boys got in line and posed for photos. The old adage “age shall not weary them” was indeed true for the Cott veterans crew, as these big lads were brimming with energy and good humour, despite the fact that two of them had recently had surgery.
Thanks to Owen Ashby for organising the “old boys” of Cottesloe.

Perth Tattoo Carnival – Faces of the Carnival
Sunday found me back at the Perth Tattoo Carnival, shooting for Tattoo Revival and LoveInk.
With most formalities and competitions done by Saturday, I wanted to focus on the general buzz: the artists, visitors and vibe of the Carnival. This is a first for Perth, and the Carnival has generated a great deal of excitement!
Perth Tattoo Carnival – Ink on Show
The Perth Tattoo Carnival swung into action with much fanfare on Friday 28 May, at the Perth Convention Centre. Organised by the Professional Tattooing Association of Australia (PTAA), the Carnival is Perth’s inaugural tattoo carnival.
I must admit to an intense fascination with tattoos and the men and women who wear ink in their skin. Once the province of people who inhabited the fringes of “polite society”, adorning oneself with skin art has long moved into the mainstream. A cursory look at the Carnival was testimony of this: there was certainly a variety of ink on display, from dudes and dudettes sporting a Celtic or Oriental motif on their arm or ankle, to tattoo veterans, male and female, with their entire bodies sheathed in skin art.
A short notice opportunity arose for me to shoot the Carnival for Tattoo Revival Magazine and new website, LoveInk, a site dedicated to female tattoo artists.

Eight photographers, two great models, and whole lot of flashing going on!
Thankfully, everyone kept their clothes on (it wasn’t that kind of flashing!) and a lot of fun was had by all as participants of the Sensational Strobing workshop wrapped their heads around the intricacies of shooting with speedlights and studio strobes.

Sensational Strobing is a workshop for photographers interested in coming to grips with using speedlights and studio flashes. The workshop covers the basics of using speedlights on e-TTL (auto through-the-lens) in combination with bounce flash, through to more complex strobing setups using remotely triggered speedlights and studio strobes both indoors and outdoors!
