Treena and Cassandra | Mother Daughter Photography

They are just the cutest mother and daughter.  The tatoos that they share are a doodle that the two of them doodle all of the time.   Such a cool relationship to observe and capture and they are both so darn beautiful inside and out!

Imaginarium | Rubin and the Zombies

Imaginarium: A Piece of Digital Art that dives into the adventures of the mind of a child and features them in their own adventures.
Rubin loves Zombies and Ghosts.  It just so happened that after he told me this I found out I was going to be photographing a Zombie Flashmob in Wellington and so I invited Rubin to come along and play.  I think he was nervous as could be in the beginning and I almost called it off for him but he would have none of it and thought the idea of taking his zombies for a walk was a brilliant one.

Here are some of the behind the scenes from the day

 

Obviously Rubin warmed to the Zombies after a while.  His mum said he had an amazing day

Here is the final image.  This will be part of the Imaginarium Series I am currently working on and accepting commissions for...unless I get a whole cluster of 9 year boys my guess is the rest of them will not be quite so dark :).

Imaginariums | Isabella and Tigger

Imaginariums are one off pieces of surreal photographic paintings that are created to celebrate the adventures of your child's imagination.  The quicksilver of their dreams is captured in all of their wonder with your favourite little person as the star of the show. 

Behind the scenes: of Izzies Imaginarium:

So when Isabella goes off into the land of her imagination she brings her trusted friend Tigger with her.  I asked her to draw a story of what they get up to and hers involved her and tigger bouncing with huge springs on their feet into a deep wood.  There was also her cat and an Umbrella featured as well. 

Today we shot the first series of images for her Imaginarium piece.  Can't wait to get started on it. 

This was Izzie's drawing

Mandiland Images | From the imagination of Mandi Lynn

Yesterday we visited the Aethercon Festival which celebrated all things Steampunk in Wellington.  Nicole from Bodyfx did a beautiful job making up Chantelle Naraine this was one of the pieces I created from our shoot entitled Ruler of Thirds.  My Partner Craig was there manning the stall as I had to be pulled away to shoot a Zombie flashmob in the Trainstation in Wellington and start on our first little boys Imaginarium piece which features Ghosts and Zombies.  Little Rubin when asked to draw what was taking place in his imagination at the moment (he is 9) drew me ghosts and Zombies.  I heard about the flashmob through my apparent zombie connections I didn't even realize i had and bam we had 50 zombies to chose from.   Those images to follow soon.
