Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've just been doing a whole bunch of retouching lately and haven't had much to report.
However, I bring you something to excite you, I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but am going to go on Thursday to see Coco Avec Chanel. At the very least I can't wait to see the amazing cinematography, the clothing and the ever gorgeous Audrey Tautou. Here's a trailer to get you in the mood and more from me to come soon.

Scouring The Interwebs
Whilst my very cute BF is cooking me dinner, I'm scouring the internet, reading comics and uploading all my photos from yesterday. I've also recently registered for Us Trendy, you can check out my profile >>>HERE<<<
Before starting to write this, I realised that I'd spent almost a half hour on the Go Fug Yourself Blog, it is a veritable gold mine of terrible celebrity outfits, witty commentary and though I dare say they don't need my help spreading the word, if you haven't checked them out, do so NOW!
I've also always wanted to photograph this water fountain location, just because it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm planning on doing a few shoots in this area because of the variety of locations in the one spot. It's just incredibly beautiful. I work from home a lot when I'm not photographing, and to be honest, if I have lots of work, I can go an entire week without seeing daylight (evidenced even more by my pasty, pasty complexion). So, when I get a chance to go out and take photos, I am honestly struck by the beauty of Sydney. There is such a variety of environments, colours, styles, everything, that it simply amazes me.
Here are the photos. Let me know what you think.
And right across the pond, there is this wonderful view.

Driving Around
I went driving around yesterday looking for locations to shoot and meeting with my lovely friend and incredible make-up artist Nat Biller, and as we were getting lost in Homebush we came across the location that I've wanted to find for quite some time. This is a preview photo from the location, with more to come as I get to upload everything.
Today is a day I'm pre-preemptively spending curled up on my couch under the doona working on the laptop and hoping that the flu I've had for the last few weeks doesn't come back. I've also just registered myself for the Us Trendy website, who's tagline is Today's Inspiration...Tomorrow's Trend. It's a pretty sweet website and has loads of designers, photographers, artists and other creatives on there. You can check my profile out at http://www.ustrendy.com/i-love-wednesdays/
And on that note, I'm going to leave you and go curl up some more. Hope your Wednesday is going better than mine, and hope mine picks up.

Location, location, location
So I went around yesterday location scouting seeing as it was one of the only beautiful days we've had in Sydney over the last few weeks. It started off as a lovely afternoon out, but turned not so nice when I got lost and couldn't find the last location I wanted to find for the day. Methinks a trip this morning to the last location is in order to finish off my location scouting for this week. I LOVE both locations and can't wait to shoot them.

Behind The Scenes with ILW
I've compiled some Behind The Scenes images from a few of my shoots and thought I'd share them all with you. Enjoy!
The model being all serious with me, and me, uber excited to have folded away my reflector. It always takes me about 10 minutes to get that thing put away.
Gettin' down low to get my shot, checking out the photos and Natalie Biller doing make-up for the PenelopeRED winter shoot.
Ray Fretwell adjusting Isabelle Doak's hair. He looks so serious in these photos, but he's such an awesomely goofy guy.
Natalie Biller and Ray Fretwell primping the model, Isabelle Doak. Again, they're looking very serious, though you should have seen them the minute before and right after. They were doing the "Sexy Model Growl." Depending on whether I can figure out whether they'll kill me or not, I might post them up soon.

Charmaine
A couple of days ago, I went to check out the very talented Charmaine playing with her band at the Piano Room as the opening act to the Singer/Songwriter Showcase and Competition in which she was a finalist last year.
It was an awesome gig only hampered by the fact that I couldn't drink anything due to being the designated driver for the night and I've included a couple of photos from the night for you to check out.
Everyone should definitely check them out at Charmaine's website

Ready, Aim, Fire + The September Issue
I have, as I'm sure you know, recently purchased new studio lighting and wanting to experiment with it, but without a model in sight I decided to use myself as a guinea pig. Because after all when there are no models around, you have to take aim at yourself.
After my day of experimentation and week of working from my home studio, I decided last night that it was time I get out and go see the premiere of The September Issue at the Sydney Film Festival. I looked online for tickets, sold out, I rang the box office to see what was happening and they just told me to try my luck, come early and keep my fingers crossed. I knew that the stylist extraordinaire Lenya Jones from The Fashion Loving Stylist would be one to join in for the ride, so I made sure to drag her along. We got the last two tickets for the film. Yay! The movie was absolutely amazing to watch. I have a new found fear of Anna Wintour and a new found admiration for Grace Coddington. I knew that this woman was a wonderful stylist. One of, if not, the best living stylist, but her passion for what she does is unmistakable. The way that she puts things together is just remarkable. I think that she makes 90% of her photo shoots and I'd venture a guess and say that no photographer that has worked with her has done a bad shoot.
It's really amazing the amount of power that Anna Wintour wields within the fashion industry. She can launch a designer, a style, a movement in an instant and cause designers to totally rethink their collections with one comment.
After the film, IMG held a cocktail party to which sadly Lenya and I didn't have tickets. We were leaving via the back, creepy alley exit when a lady stopped us, told us that we had killer outfits and gave us to free passes for the party. The party was rather beige, but I think that has more to do with the fact that the movie started almost an hour late, and most people probably had early starts. However, it was still an awesome night and an incredible movie.

Bright Lights, Bright City
As you may have read my 26th Birthday was last week and I decided to buy myself something pretty for my birthday. Studio Lights. I've been wanting and needing to get studio lights for some time and since I had a little extra cash I bought set of Boling 600W studio lights and had my first beauty shoot. The make up was done by Nat Biller and the hair stylist was the incredibly talented, lovely and perpetual snacker (it was lovely to have another snacker in the hosue) Ray Fretwell from Intershape. Our model for the day was Isabelle Doak, who despite being freezing gave us some interesting looks and lots of variety.
I'm also preparing for a shoot at the Glebe location I blogged about recently which I'm really looking forward to, but don't want to give too much away for fear of it not happening. Anywho..hope you enjoy this shoot.
