It's been a whirlpool couple of weeks around here. Too many things going on; playing catch-up and, quite simply, just not enough time.
I am in need of simplicity, rest and revitalisation. . . a short break from my daily obligations.
The studio will be closed from the 7th August - 12th August 2010.
(All emails and phonecalls will be answered on my return)
The workshop sold out in the very first week! How awesome is that? Just one couple cancelled, so two places (obviously) are available should you wish to join us, which you can do by merely browsing the workshop website.
We now need a model for the workshop. Any takers out there? .... anyone?
It will be a fun afternoon with a trash-the-dress theme of shooting - although, I promise your wedding frock will not be ruined. We tend to attract very adventurous personalities, so should you sway towards the self-assured, then you're also more than welcome.
If you are predisposed to being photographed by 20 different people, and prepared to stand in the most ridiculous spots, then please email us at bookings@theworkshops.co.za to lay your hands on more details.
Madelaine, a very talented make-up artist, has kindly agreed to do make up and we will provide you with the images submitted together with a couple of prints.
Beautiful image and beautiful location! Wow! Where was this taken?

(07.30.10 @ 05:56 PM)I have been very quiet on this blog for far too long, so just a quick little something, once again all in the name of procrastination, and back to the grind I go.

I can't pinpoint exactly how I initially scan and ultimately select images I'm partial to for the blog, but, for some reason or another, I'm not especiallly accomplished at this particular task, as I tend to neglect images like this.

You are absolutely amazing Andrea! I have just spent the last 3hrs looking at all the amazing photos. If only you were in Australia!!! I want to move to South Africa now...
(07.20.10 @ 01:44 PM)There are some awesome Australian photographers on that side too! I have a long list of Australian photographers that I aspire to.
(08.01.10 @ 12:18 AM)We're over the hill. 2010 is officially half gone, can you believe it? Then again, the one agreeable aspect is from here on in, our days now begin to lengthen and the mercury levels should also start to rise - at least towards the latter part of July.
Other news from this end;
On the workshop front, there have been many requests to host yet another forum. I am super excited to annouce that I will be hosting RE.INVENT II with Dror. We have packed in some extra bits on marketing and branding, a model shoot and practical shooting tips on how to shoot decor.

If you are interested in joining us, then carry on reading here. Last time seats sold out pretty fast, so I would suggest if you are interested book now - as we will once again keep the numbers low so that we have a small group.
In other splendid news, Admired in Africa has re-launched with a spanking-new look and I'm thrilled to bits to be one of the photogaphers featured. I also love the fact one of my images was used in the header. (Blowing that trumpet vuvuzela again).
That's it from my side.
