Hair of the Dog

I’ve just spent a cou­ple of bril­liant days at the Queens­land Aus­tralian Insti­tute of Pro­fes­sional Pho­tog­ra­phers sem­i­nar called (appro­pri­ately enough for me!) Hair of the Dog. I’ve spent the time with lots of pro­fes­sional pho­tog­ra­phers from all over Queens­land and the rest of Aus­tralia, learn­ing from some of Aus­tralias best and most expe­ri­enced pho­tog­ra­phers from all parts of the indus­try. Sam, our photo retoucher, was there too and we have learned a huge amount. Watch out from some new ideas soon. I think its impor­tant that I con­tin­u­ally strive to be the best pho­tog­ra­pher I pos­si­bly can, and how could I not learn when in the same room as peo­ple who have shot cov­ers for Time mag­a­zine (Rus­sell Shake­speare), or been named Australia’s Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­pher of the Year three times (Rocco Ancora)? There were so many great pho­tog­ra­phers run­ning work­shops, I had such a won­der­ful time.

We also had a bril­liant week in the stu­dio, I hope you enjoy the photos.

   Ken,

   What lovely work. The pic­ture of the cream puss ‘smooching’ the dark puss is just GORGEOUS!!!

   What a work of art. I love it so very much.

   Then there is the alert­ness of the cat below it. Look at the poetry in the form.

   The dig­nity of the dog in the next picture.

   The soft­ness of the lit­tle dog in the next picture.

   Then there is the inten­sity of the grey cat with its strik­ing yel­low eyes…

   Then there is the cheer­ful dog in the photo below it.…

   The vul­ner­a­bil­ity of the white dog with the spots.…

   The antic­i­pa­tion of the dog in the last picture.…..

   There is so much emo­tion and expres­sion here. It’s so beau­ti­ful and it brings a smile to my face.

   Thank you for bright­en­ing my evening.

   Cheers
   Mel
