Tyroga – A Human Equivalent

This coming Saturday I’ll be shooting as part of a team for Fashion + Aid, a charity event to be held at Crown Palladium. I’m a little bit excited. Can’t wait to share some of the photos I get on the night.

What’s the deal? A set of 65 glass negatives were found and believed to have been created by master photographer Ansel Adams. They were bought by some guy in California at a garage sale for $45 after he talked the seller down something like $80. They were shown to art experts who declared them most [...]

POST IN PROGRESS: more photos to come later today. Work and school have me so busy of late, I’m tired as and still so busy. I just got back from the second day of a two-day weekend workshop on photographing in public with available light. The first day was out at Hurstbridge and it’s surrounding [...]

A few weeks ago my friend Kathryn invited me to shoot a wedding with her. The job was set up through the land developer of Alamanda Estate in Point Cook, just around the corner from where I live. In the past I’ve always said no to shooting weddings, but this time I said “sure”. I’ve [...]

Tara, originally uploaded by tyroga. Yesterday I attended another of Tony Ryan’s Empowered Beauty workshops. This one a gift from my friends for my birthday much earlier year. The workshop was good, but not as good as others have been in the past. Tony often talks about energy and most of what he talks about [...]
