We hadn’t seen Georgie for more than 12 months. Previously, she modeled under the name of Summer and you can check out our previous blog posts with her from 2009.

She came back recently to Hudcomm Central and combined with the makeup of makeup-artist Lucy Carter, Georgie looked fantastic. Here are some images from our most recent shoot:

Samantha has had several modelling shoots previously and is building a portfolio of work to establish herself. She selected several Melbourne photographers that she calls Melbourne’s Finest to shoot with through the month of December. From there, she’ll launch her modelling by approaching the key promotional and print agencies.

Samantha is grounded, well researched and determined – and an absolutely pleasure to work with, being also highly professional in approach and attitude. We know that no matter what she does in the future, she will be successful.

Here are a few images from her shoot and we’d certainly recommend Samantha to any agency looking for a reliable and excellent model.

Samantha B was able to squeeze in for a shoot before Christmas with literally a few hours notice, due to a last minute cancellation.

She’d only had one shoot previously, but took to being in front of of the camera as if she’d been doing it for years. A natural, able to offer dozens of looks and emotions, we thought she’d make a great actress – and coincidentally, we heard from an associate she might even be making an on-film appearance sooner than you’d think.

She was great fun to work with and enjoyed herself so much she returned for a second shoot. These images are from both her first and second shoots with us.

We recently had the pleasure to shoot the wonderful Jasmine Rane once more. This time, we were back in a Melbourne city hotel.

Unlike the last time we shot Jasmine, this hotel room was far more suitable to shoot. There was a large bedroom, an awesome hallway, a small spa and massive large glass windows looking out over the city.

The series of images shown here are only a tiny number of several sets shot over a four hour period. Since my assistant, pack-horse and partner is six months pregnant, we didn’t take all the lighting equipment we otherwise would have liked – however, using small off-camera flashes as part of the Nikon CLS allows for quality lighting without missing your larger lights too much.

Jasmine had several outfits. One even gathered a crowd down at street level, as we were shooting up against the windows on the fourth floor. Large back-lit windows provide a great light source, not to mention the cityscape provides an excellent backdrop. We also took advantage of the double bed, the hallways and the large glass wall separating bedroom from spa.

Thanks Jasmine for another great shoot!

Nearly a year ago, Sheridan – a Ballarat based model and clothing designer www.onetrickpony.com.au – had an idea for a shoot in a night club. Many of the images we shot of her and fellow model friend Sarah turned out awesome – you  can see some of them here.

One shoot idea of the day – the DJ shoot – was left until the end, however, and we ran out of time to really nail it.

So after another 2 long days of shooting for Sheridan’s new clothing range, we decided we had enough time to try and reshoot it again. We achieved much better results this time – sometimes it’s simply better to leave an idea for another day and revisit it fresh, with renewed enthusiasm.

On Friday the 14th October, The Eternal played live at the Epsy’s Gershwin Room in front of some very loyal followers. The set included songs such as Collapse and Departure, from their new album, Under A New Sun.

It was a tight set, with awesome vocals from front man Mark Kelson and big Marty O’Shea on drums with his bright red goaty, belting out a deep beat.

Find out more about the band at www.the-eternal.com. Their album, Under A New Sun is available through iTunes.0

Despite a cold and wet early morning for the annual Victorian APICSA golf day, 14 teams set out at 8am on a shot gun start to play for the brag rights to hold the trophy for the next 12 months. This was the 12th annual golf day and proudly sponsored by OAMPS.

The competition of the day is a 4 Ball Ambrose Team Event, followed by a Gourmet BBQ lunch and presentation. Southern Golf Club always puts on a perfect course and perfect service. After four to five hours of golf, players and guests enjoyed a meal and continued networking and catching up with industry colleagues.

All  previous years we have been associated, we have had mostly picture perfect weather. So for next year, we hope APICSA (Australian Petroleum Institute Contractors Suppliers Association) has some better weather rolled out for us…

Isabel Hertaeg is an actor, singer, cabaret artist, writer and producer with whom we have worked on-and-off for the last three or four years.

We have blogged several times about her cabaret shows such as La Petite Mort and The Etiquette Hour with Lady Cordelia. Isabel also performs Opera and is planning to train in London, currently preparing for her London Audition. Leading up to her journey, she came to us for some photos and audio recordings for submission.

We wish her luck and you can keep up to date with Isabel at her blog site. http://isabelhertaeg.blogspot.com/

Recently we photographed Kimberley for Grid Girls Australia, which was a fun shoot all round. A few months later Kimberley decided to return to Hudcomm for a more extensive photo shoot. Kimberley is great to work with, being easy going and always coming prepared with a variety of outfits. Here are some of the results from our second shoot:

Day two of our shoot with Sheridan for One Trick Pony’s new clothing range kicked off a little earlier, with us heading back to the Ballarat Botanic Gardens.

We used several locations around the gardens to get the shots envisioned for the new clothing designs. After that we headed to two new locations – an old railway station and a 100 year old warehouse now converted into a nightclub.

After a 6am start and eleven hours into the day, we then began on the two-hour drive back to Hudcomm Studios to start the selection and editing process.

A big thanks to Sheridan for modelling and directing, as well as designing the outfits, and to Keishia, the second of our models, for an awesome shoot.
