Hi,

I'm a photographer in Sydney, Australia and recently refreshed my portfolio here. (Still more to go!)

I do not have a single style - I experiment with low key, high key, using saturated tones, washed out colours. My theme is generally feminine beauty, but I am not just looking to portray a beautiful body - I want my audience to meet the person inside that body - for my photos to be as much, or even more about the sense, or spirit of a person, than purely the figure alone - although aesthetic in my final photographs does have to be pleasing to me.

To this end I love experimenting with fabrics, grasses and low key lighting, looking for simple compositions that flow well.

I welcome your feedback and constructive criticisms!

Many TIA smile

I like most of your material, could only come up with a couple of critiques!

First, the entire top end of the portfolio looks very similar in poses, full body and close to full body taken from a medium distance.  Mix up the poses a little more to keep it interesting.

Second, other than the bodyscapes there is only one close up shot of just a face, put more head shots in if you have them or a few more closer in shots.

Good stuff!

Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.

Yes, I do have close up head shots too - am working through backlog of shoots to pick out stuff to build the portfolio.

Thanks again.

Nice update, good variety.

One thing to watch out for is getting too many similar shots.
