Nature Fantasy

Jennifer Tzar creates these magical scenes, the settings are beautiful, however what makes them magical is the costumes and models that create these unreal scenes. Tzars other works are more manipulated, utilizing photoshop to create some interesting juxtaposition.

Wonders - Part 3

So the final installment is camping. I love capturing moments, the way light hits someone's face, or that moment when someone is laughing from the heart. Not an easy feat because as soon as you shove a camera in someone's face they tend to sober up, freeze and contort their face into a silly face or a faked smile. I am a culprit of this too, and its something people can't help, its a deep seated this self-conscious fear of 'looking bad' in a photo, one finds it easier to make a face and actually having a bad photo than to stay looking 'natural' and then producing what they deem is a bad photo. It a self preservation technique, a way to control how the world views them and how they view themselves. People everywhere you are beautiful, you are your worst critic, do not be affraid of the camera. You are beautiful.

Wonders - Part 2

It is always disappointing trying to capture a place or view, your camera can never encapsulate the surrounds because it is not only what you see but hear and feel. A photograph is merely an impression, a moment in time, a portion of what you experience. Nevertheless we always attempt it, but that is not to say that it is impossible to evoke emotion and produce magical landscape photos, it is about catching and framing a place so that it is most evoking or magical. Here is a glimpse into Tasmania, its beauty and my attempts at capturing the landscape.

Wonders

So here is my trip around Tasmania, a wide array of landscapes, people and places.  Here is my first installment, its all about the people from the falls festival, where people are not afraid to act how they feel, dress how they likel and just enjoy the music and people. if only it could carry on into everyday life, people would be much merrier.

December Excitement

Here are some photos I took in december. It was a fun close to the year 2010. It was a hard year, with my motivation levels hitting rock bottom, I spent a lot of time in bed reading books instead of keeping up with my uni and catching up with friends. But december seemed to have picked up my mood, perhaps it was the end of uni, the summer days or perhaps it is the iron tablets I started to take hehe, but what ever it was its continued on in early 2011. Lets hope the rest of this year follows suit.

Oh thes shots were taken with my very own SLR that I got for my birthday in december. That's right my very own Canon EOS,  more focus, louder click, all the more to annoy my friends. I also got a lovely vintage Olympus OM10, it is one sexy camera. I will hopefully upload some of my film photography, but I don't have a scanner at the moment, sadness...soon

Off to Tasmania

I'm off on a trip to Tasmania to celebrate NYE. Yay. So bye for now, see you in January.
