A suitable double exposure! Beka's head is always in the clouds.

Degree

Today I did my last ever assignment toward my Bachelor of Applied Visual Imaging. It was a speech/5min talk about my final project to my lecturers and peers. And now, I don't know what to do with myself until I move out of Palmy (forever), but that is exciting, because I have time for myself now, to relax and plan and appreciate the beautiful sunshine instead of being on a computer all day.

My friend Hits took this picture of me infront of my part in the exhibition.
They're not actually pinned crooked on the wall!

21

Recently, a few weekends ago, I went to Hamilton to my good friend Che's 21st celebration. I had found an unused disposable camera at the Sallies for $2 and was determined to use it all that night. There's definitely something way more interesting and intriguing about analogue, I love the vibrancy of the colours and the aesthetic of the expired film. Somehow the pictures seem more alive and genuine. You can't beat a good night with a group of good people.
Here are my favourite images: 

a little while ago

I got an email from the lovely Ashleigh at Lucire Magazine, and a photoshoot was organised! We shot at Makara Beach, down in Wellington NZ. I was so so excited to shoot such beautiful clothes and a professional model that the lack of sunshine didn't bother me at all! Here are some snippets from my shoot with Lucire Magazine as part of a "new talent" section for their website!
I'll post the link when they're up online!

things change

When night falls ..

.. the rogue youth grab their skateboards and
wreak havoc around town.
If only this carefree life lasted a little longer.

I see beauty in everyone

A range of beauty shots I did for my portfolio.

promotional material

I designed some new business cards, as well as some postcards to send out to potential & current clients. I haven't quite decided on which business cards to use, the ones above are prototypes. The postcards are printed on recycled paper. Because I love the planet.
