Academia

I got a roll of film developed yesterday. These must have been from my last visit to Melbourne. I've always loved the atmosphere of the State Library.

Jessica G

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

This series was shot yesterday not too far from my place. It was 26 degrees Celsius...

Model is Jessica G, with makeup by her sister-in-law, Jolina O'Hair MUA (you might remember her from my lace shoot with Nastia, Celia and Natalia).

musings

Lately I've felt like my photography is missing something. With university work always on my tail I've barely left the house to shoot anything. I feel like my life consists of waking up, heading to classes, heading home and staying there. I have no inspiration and no adventure. I need the inspiration from the real and the tangible. I need to walk through the tree-filled countryside, wander along stepping stones through pretty rivers and experience surprise encounters with Australian wildlife. What I have right now is repetitive, jejune, tedious... Life is bigger than this.

Lauren

Hi everyone!

As you may have read, a couple of days ago I had a shoot with the lovely Lauren with makeup by Lisa Cassel (you might remember her from my shoot with Jessica Claire a while back). Two of the three shots that I uploaded made it to Flickr's Explore (peaked at #6 and #240)!







I have a shoot on Sunday with Jolina O'Hair MUA and Jessica, so new photos will be up soon!

I'm still taking bookings for portrait sessions in Canberra/Melbourne/Sydney over the next few months (but cheapest if you book before November when my rates go up!) so shoot me an email if you're interested! (I'm also shooting families and couples)

E-mail me at info@danielemartinie.com for more details!

Purple


Hello readers!

I know it's been a while since my last post. I've been doing tonnes of uni work and cramming assignments in so I haven't had much time.

Recently, I modeled for friend/amazing photographer Geoff Jones and had SO much fun! Make up was by his lovely wife, Mary Li. Check it out!

In other news, my tripod broke today while taking some self-portraits :(

RIP tripod. You've served me well.
At least I got these very purple selfies in the last moments before its death!

On Saturday I have a shoot with Lauren which will be much, much fun. I haven't had a proper shoot in a while. School keeps getting in the way of me picking up the camera! I've also had to put off buying the 50mm f/1.4 because I'm going to Soundwave music festival instead. I think I'll survive... For now.

I hope everyone is doing well! And for my Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra readers, I still have the special offer running for portrait sessions if you book before the end of the month! You're saving over $50 so if you were planning to make a booking anyway, why not do it now? e-mail me at info@danielemartinie.com for a quote!


Will blog after my shoot this weekend,

Please leave a link in the comments if you've used the preset - I'd love to see your work!

In other news, I'll be assisting in a photoshoot on Monday, modelling for a fellow photographer on Wednesday and (hopefully) have a shoot planned and ready for next Sunday.

I hope everyone is doing well!
