What came first

The chicken or the egg?

Beautiful girls

Corrine Day - she knew how to capture a photograph of a beautiful woman. Just right.

Zo much fun

I've been instructed to start a blog for one of my subjects at uni, which is something that is new and quite daunting for me. But here goes I spose...

I've been taking photos of my Barbie doll. Ironically enough, I never really had my own Barbie as a little girl, much to my dismay, but I have made up for it since by getting my own beautiful 1950s replica Barbie doll. She has quite a character to her...I took photos of her around my house. I love the way she comes across in all of the environments I put her in, she seems to adapt, and her expression changes depending on the vantage point and the light and shadow she is photographed in. I love the late afternoon light she is bathed in in this photograph. She is setting off on her adventure into the world.

I made a series called "Escape of Barbie" which depicts Barbie making her grand escape from the house.  This is the last one in the series, she's out in the wide open world. Her hair shadows her face in such a way...I'm not sure how to describe what this does for the image, but it really is quite an interesting shot, with her at the bottom of the frame, and the laneway stretching out behind her. The light is so soft and lovely, it really does suggest and evoke nostalgia or childhood memories.
