Portrait and Documentary photography

Mirco needed a ‘corporate picture’ but wanted to avoid the usual cliché picture, on a white background, with a flat light.
So, we decided to do something a bit different.

Mirco is a project manager.

With Alexia we did an Egon Schiele inspired photo shoot.
Alexia was one of my favourite models to work with for the past months: the light moves beautifully on her.

Ice Queen.

I spent a great afternoon with Hannah Tasker-Poland photographing one of her idea: The Ice Queen.
It was beautiful to shoot as well as very emotional.

“… and so, to no longer be hurt, she froze her heart.”

-Ice Queen-

I have been working with Hannah quite a few times.
This time Hannah wrote:
“Jocelen is the photographer who truly captures me as ME and who I feel truly comfortable being open, vulnerable and honest for, and the art created speaks volumes about that. “

I am so lucky. Good for the ego too! [lol]

Yesterday I had much fun with Venus Starr at Kingsize Studios, here, in Auckland [NZ].

Water Creatures…

All along my photographic life I have always said I would never shoot mermaids and other ‘water creatures’.
Never- ever – ever!

Now I have done it.

Shannon persuaded me to photograph these ‘water creatures’. I spent four hours in the water with several models.
And it was great fun! I slept very well that night.

On that particular picture there is almost no edit: everything is coming from the camera, under water.

Garage

I just spent two days of photography in a garage, shooting different models for a project which will be finished at the beginning of 2013.

It was a lot of fun and very dense at the same time.

Hannah Tasker-Poland and I are going to work on several projects through 2013.
I can’t say much about it at this stage, but this is very exciting.

Keep your eyes open!
