March this year saw me heading back to South Africa for my cousin's wedding, while on that trip I caught up with some great creatives and we did some studio shooting. I filmed some behind the scenes video from the shoot, which can be seen below.

I also did some photo shooting as well, but I mainly focused on 35mm film photography. So the images below make up some of the images from the day and some behind the scenes images as well.

Ill be posting up a proper gallery on the main portion of the site, but sure to keep an eye out for that.

Cheers,
Mike.

I was a fantastic shoot to be a part of, I got to spend time with a fantastic bunch of creatives.

So it's once again been a very long time since my last blog post ... sorry about that, its been a crazy month that doesn't look like it will be slowing down until next year. There is plenty to do and next to no time to get it done. I'll keep the text to a minimum today as there is plenty of content to view, todays post is made up of video and photos from a workshop I did a few weeks ago.

Ive wanted to do a 'Ballerina' themed shoot for some time, so I jumped on the workshop as soon as it came about. We were lucky enough to shoot an up and coming Ballerina who has already worked internationally and continues to succeed in her work. The video makes up part of a concept that I've been playing with for some time now and am pretty happy with the end results and will be playing with it more as time goes on.

So I think thats enough for now, I will post again soon. Along with all the work needing to be done there have been some new and exciting things happening, so I'll post about those soon.

Thanks for being so patient with me, I'll be back soon!

Mike.
