Calendar Girls

This picture has been getting a lot of eyeballs around town lately. One of mine from late last year.

 

It's from the Fortune Theatre's 2012 catalog shoot, and was about as much fun to shoot as it looks. Calendar Girls is on now and I'm thrilled to say it's a sellout for the Fortune.  Interestingly, the models in one of the posters around town have been... supplemented by some articles of clothing...

I think I'm kind of flattered.

Normal Service Will Be Resumed As Soon As Possible

Wow, its been a busy year and looks like the end is going to be even busier. That's the reason I've posted so little lately.

 

I've shot a lot of video, but have had a bit more still work lately, including some really fun stuff of the exhibits at Toitu Otago Settlers Museum. This one is Mrs Richard Hudson's dress. Hudson of Cadbury, Fry Hudson fame. Looking at the size of it, she sure didn't eat a lot of her husband's biscuits. Great fun trying to bring out the texture in these 19th century dresses and minimise the background distractions.  I'll be posting more from this shoot and others soon, I promise.

Just got off the phone booking a new gig that could see my year end with a real bang. Who knew "Red Bull" was also a type of explosive? Stay tuned.
