Clare Day:Photographic Design: January 2010

Sydney! Jasmine Star Workshop

Posted by Clare Day | Wednesday, January 27, 2010

My trip to Sydney was awesome. The main reason for going was a workshop held by Jasmine Star - who is an amazing photographer and amazing person from the US who has been a phenomenal influence on the world of wedding photography over the past 3 years. Its hard to believe that this lady from Orange County has become world famous in less time that ive been in business - I just HAD to meet her and find out HOW she did it!!

It was an awesome day, spent hanging out with Jasmine and, what seems like half the population of Perth (haha)and other photographers from around Australia. We also got to do a photoshoot with some models and some pretty awesome dresses. I was more interested in the marketing side of things, but the photoshoot was fun too.

One of the 'models' was actually an old friend of mine from my Hamilton Island days! we worked together in the photo shop being Resort Photographers! She is now studying to be a doctor - Smart AND gorgeous!

Flowers - Daisy Chain Florist
Dresses - Catherine Colubriale
Hair and Makeup - Lyndal Quinn-Tuccarone
Accessories, Design, Setting, organisation and other awesomeness - Cathy Crawley Without her, this workshop wouldnt have been anywhere near as awesome.

I was very lucky to tag along with Jonothon Dear from Vibrant Photography while I was over in Sydney last month. Ive been an admirer of his work for ages now, especially his awesome strobe lighting techniques he uses to get absolutely amazing images. I was hoping some of his awesomeness would rub off on me :)

It was a very interesting day. I got to experience a really fabulous Church service - we don't get to do many of those down here, as most people get married on the beach or at wineries, so it was great to experience something a little different.

The photosession was held on Manly beach, where everyone got a standing ovation from the crowds on the beach! I thought that was pretty awesome personally :)

I was totally IN LOVE with the flowers.....

Jon's post is here - check out his amazing work. Thank you so much for letting me tag along for the day!

Babies, Little Kiddies and Big Kids!

One of the most enjoyable part of my job is when i get to hang out with people of the same mental age as me...ie KIDS! There is nothing more fun than playing on the swings in my opinion, so when i get a chance to do so for work I jump at the chance!!

Here are some of the little people Ive had the pleasure of spending time with lately :)

Beautiful 4 month old Tegan....
