I’ve seen many friends posting photos of their sunset experiences in from Brighton Beach in the U.K. Always wanted to experience it for myself and have some photos to show. It happened in December 2011 and here are my photos.
Meet Bradley Goodsir, son to Richard and Carolynn Goodsir and subject of my first ever baby photographic shoot. I was slightly nervous going into the shoot as I had never done something like this before and I actually had no idea what to expect! Needless to say that Bradley was one of the easiest subjects I have ever shot photos of! He smiled and laughed and seem to enjoybeing the subject of a photo shoot as much as I enjoyed shooting photos of him. These are just a few of my favourite shots that I picked out this morning. Enjoy.
I’ve been shooting quite a lot of photos with Kanya Spani lately, he’s such a good skater and all round cool guy to hang out with. I shot this photo of him doing an Ollie over this rail to frontside crooked grind. I’m actually not sure what it’s called to be honest! Dressed as a sailor from the Halloween party from the night before and with minimal sleep, he makes it look totally effortless!
These are some photos that I shot of Elliot Sloan at the Maloof Money Cup that was just held recently in Kimblery, South Africa. I think Elliot is the only pro very skater ever to come out of New York, or at least one of the only, I can’t quite remember! Either way, his skating and style on the vert ramp had me stoked! Check him out!
I noticed this kid while shooting photos of the kids skating at Nollie Faith, he just had the cutest expressions on his face as he watched everything goin on around him. I had to shoot a couple photos of him!
I love using the Canon 15mm Fish Eye lens to create different images. It’s fun to use for portraits and distort the image and create a different feeling about an image that might other wise be pretty boring. These are some of my favourite shots from the skate contest at Nollie Faith last Saturday
.
These girls from Nollie Faith don’t care to skate much, as you can see they’d rather play with their dolls and chat on the sidewalk.
I headed back into the city this last weekend to shoot some photos of the skate contest that Nollie Faith was putting on for the kids. As always, I was greeted with smiles and giggles and most of the kids couldn’t wait to get in front of my lens! The contest was a great success and I could see the joy in the kids faces and I just couldn’t believe how excited they were to see their friends competing for first and second place. I spent most of the day shooting some portraits but also shot some pics of the contest itself. I’ll have to split the blog posts into seperate parts as there are quite a few photos! This is the first post. Enjoy.
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the downtown area of Johannesburg with all the local skaters. After a long shoot the other day, we all headed to a random street where everyone started playing ‘skate’. It was amazing to just watch these guys throw tricks down like they were nothing! I love Bergen’s style, he does swith stance tricks just as easy as regular ones!
I can’t remember the last time I met someone that is so passionate about what they do or perhaps I just haven’t. I spend quite a lot of time at Alan’s house since he is my brother in law but I can honestly say we don’t spend much time speaking to one another and not because we don’t want to, rather cause he is usually playing 1 of his guitars. On my last visit I decided to get my camera out when I heard him start rocking out in his bedroom. I shot these photos as the sounds reverberated off the walls and while Alan explained to me the differences between his guitars. Alan’s band, ‘Zebra & Giraffe’are currently one of the top headlining bands here in South Africa. Check em out!
