Sass

One of our regular models over the last 2~3 years has been Sass. A model who has over the years many and varied looks. She is also a mum of two boys and will appear in our MtM project. Sass and Daniel bought along Latrail their 12 month old son who had a ball playing in the studio.

We had not seen him since photographing him when he was a much smaller baby. For this shoot Sass had gone crazy on E-bay and had purchased a lot of new outfits. Since Sass had been on our standby list and we had a shoot cancelled at short notice she was only able to spend a few hours with us as Daniel had to go to work. So we spent part of the time shooting her outfits and the later part of the shoot working on some artist images that actually turned out extremely well for a unplanned concept. Having worked together that many times where where able to do that. Here are some of the images and more are at http://www.hudcomm.smugmug.com/ in our Portfolio 2009 folder.

Mariya Mova Body Sculpture

Recently and for the third time we had the pleasure of photographing Mariya Mova, a Melbourne based Bulgarian born body sculpture and personal trainer. The last time we caught up with Mariya was at her Melbourne Gym where she felt right at home. This time and on our terms Mariya came to our Studio located in Belgrave an outer suburb of Melbourne. While Mariya is still 5~6 months out from being at her peak for her next international competition she is still in great shape.

Mariya for this shoot wanted to try a more glamorous style of modelling rather than straight fitness and body building which she usually does. We think Mariya looks good and did very well stepping out of her comfort zone. What do you think? Makeup was done by the wonderful Samantha Jane Wells. You can find her at www.myspace.com/beauty_licious_

We decided to film our shoot with Mariya just like we did for our second shoot which can be seen at www.youtube/ldhudo We hope you enjoy Mariya's third shoot with Hudcomm.

Bella & Jo Beach Shoot

Where just about ready to publish Mariya Mova body sculpture and personal fitness trainers pictures and video but before we do we thought we'd show you a few of Bella and Jo's beach shoot images. It was not the warmest of evenings and it was very windy along the bay at Edithvale. The girls did a marvelous job keeping composed and my lighting assistant Lauren did a wonderful job holding the spare camera and and moving light stands around.

We love using Nikon's CLS feature and this time reduced the number of speedlights we usually use to just two. It was far too windy to use our preferred setup and we had to adapt. Despite this we loved the images we got. Bella's solo shots will be used in our forth coming book Mums that Model (MtM).

It was late and dark the time we got back to the hub to start uploading and backing up images. Let's just say a fair amount of sand was removed from the beach that evening and a lengthy clean of all equipment was required.

Well done girls and you can check out more of their images at www.hudcomm.smugmug.com in our 2009 Portfolio.

Thanks for reading.

Bella & Jo Visit Studio 1

A few weeks back we had Bella and Jo make the trip from Ballarat to Hudcomm's Studio 1 located in the South Eastern Suburb's of Melbourne. The day consisted of a studio shoot on the afternoon and a beach shoot in the early evening. Bella's beach shoot was for our MtM (Mums that Model) project and her friend Jo a local Ballarat model came along for some photo's as well.

Many of Bella's solo beach shots will be released when the MtM book is completed. For now here is a selection of their studio shots.

Check our more of their studio shots at http://www.hudcomm.smugmug.com/ in our 2009 portfolio folder. Keep am eye on our blog for their beach shoot pictures and Mariya Mova's new Studio 1 shoot pictures and video.

Ricci Lea Shoot

We first meet Ricci Lea about 2 years ago when she came for her first shoot with us in our old studio. Our second shoot with Ricci was a beach shoot in 2008.

Well Ricci is back and looking great, sporting whole a new look. Ricci, armed with a full waredrobe, must have included 7~8 outfit changes in the shoot. We shot for a good 6 hours and created some awesome new images. Well done Ricci !
