Port Douglas Wedding Photography – texture

Posted by Shaun on March 3rd, 2010

I’ve been playing around with the idea of adding texture to images, It’s a bit of a fad at the moment.  I like the effect but wouldn’t use it for every image. I’m a big believer in clean sharp images with bold but natural color. I think they have more of a timeless quality that dates better.  In saying that this textured effect has a fine art painterly quality that when used well and to a couples style, can really make certain images shine. What do you think?

Port Douglas Children’s Portraits

Posted by Shaun on March 2nd, 2010

This is the third, possibly fourth time I’ve photographed Evie & Asher. In fact , these guys were one of my very first ever children’s portrait sessions about four years ago. It’s a perk of the job being able to watch children grow through the lens. Mother Meredith invited me back around to their house yesterday afternoon so we could get some pics of the two of them with their prize winning chooks ( Fluffy came first at last years Mossman show, Good Chook !!) After we’d finished there we jumped in our cars and went out the road a little bit to carry on the country theme. It was hot, and there were midgees but the shots look fantastic (how could I go wrong with subjects like these). Thanks again Guys, hope you like them :) .

The Wedding of Alison & Dean

Posted by Shaun on March 1st, 2010

Busy, Busy , Busy. A new season is about to begin and I’m almost ready to go, just a few albums to design and then into it. I can’t wait get to the end already so I can look back over the years folio. I’ve changed my packages this year also and expect them to be very blog friendly, meaning that I should be stopping by here more often.

Here are a few pics from the Port Douglas wedding of Alison & Dean. They were married here late last year in Rex Smeal park, a casual wedding out on the point under the coconut palms. We had a great time on the shoot just taking a stroll around the park. Nice and natural ,I’ll post some more soon.
