Latest Photoshoots

I have gotten so lucky with the people I work with.  I have not had one single bad experience.  The models and the makeup artists have been truly wonderful to work with.  Here are a few shots from my latest shoots.

Long delayed post

This post has been a long time in coming.  I've been very busy and have done many different kinds of photoshoots.  I have worked with some amazing people and have made a lot of new friends.  Please take a moment and view some of the pictures.  If you are interested in booking Cabral Photography or the models/makeup artists in the pictures please contact Peter@cabralphotography.com

Thank you.

Run for your lives!!!!!

Over the last 6 months I’ve been trying to take as many different types of photographs as I can.  I’ve done a Boho shoot, a Grunge shoot and a 1950’s Tea Party.  These have been fun but I wanted to do something different, very different.  Enter the Zombie. 

 Zombies are a shoot I’ve wanted to do for a long time.  Logistics was always the problem.  I would need a model, I would need a makeup artist and I need to light it properly.  It’s really funny how things just come together.   I found my model Tia Burns on Facebook photography, model group.  She was so much fun to work with and willing to go creepy, which is a very important trait for a model to have for a zombie shoot. 

 Makeup was provided by Andrijana from Cupcakes&Spiders.  I’ve used her in the past and look forward to further work.  Her Zombie makeup was outstanding!  The detail was incredible.  The open, weeping and bloody flesh wounds were fantastic (I never thought I would say such a thing). 

Also a big thank you to my photography partner Darryn.  His technical expertise and lighting was paramount.  I’m so glad that we have joined forces.  This will open so many future opportunities for Cabral Photography.

This shoot was very interesting.  The model, despite all her makeup and bloody wounds still looked quite nice.  I had to make her look evil.  I accomplished this by mucking around with her eyes.  I cloned some of the blood (fake blood) on her forehead and painted her eyes.  Now she looks creepy!

1950’s Tea Party Photoshoot.  Roma Street Parklands.

I had wanted to do this type of shoot for a long time.   My initial attempt was going to be when the Jacarandas were out but that shoot fell through due to unfortunate circumstance.  I still hope that I can do something colourful in October. 

 We had one of our lovely models drop out a few days prior but I was able to secure the talents of Rosanna Relton for the day.  Despite her young age she was a pro to work with and I hope I get the chance to work with her again soon.  Our models for the day were Rosanna, Jaslyn Laura and Andriana.  Cupcakes and Spiders were on board to do the Makeup.  I had worked with Jaslyn and Andriana before and again they delivered the goods.  Well done ladies.

 The design of the 1950’s tea party was done by Kelly from Yellow Strawberry Celebration.  The mix of   eclectic and delicate tea cups was a delight.  The colour scheme was outstanding and I would recommend you use Yellow Strawberry Celebration for your next event.

 It had been raining for 4 days straight and there was a real fear that our day was going to get washed out.  Luckily for us the sun came out and shone bright.  It made for the most perfect of shooting conditions.  In fact we had to work quickly as it was heating up pretty quickly.  The girls were amazing and bought into the whole philosophy of pain being temporary, art is forever. 

 Here are some photo’s from the day.

 

Pain is temporary but art is foverever

I can’t believe it has been so long since I’ve written.  I have not been idle but have been very busy.  I’ve done quite a few photo-shoots lately.  All have been so different from each other.  I spent a very sunny afternoon shooting a beautiful makeup artist at the Gold Coast.  I have also spent 2 nights shooting at the Brisbane’s Powerhouse location.  Here is a write up on each shoot.

 

Jaslyn Laura

Location: Brisbane Powerhouse

Our original idea was to do a Katy Perry inspired photo-shoot.  This was hard to do as we were losing the light very quickly.  Instead the shoot turned out to be a moody Katy Perry inspired session.  We went with darker colours to fit the mood.  Jaslyn has this great ability to look different in each photograph.  It gives the Photographer so many options when shooting.  She was even willing to indulge me in my trick photography experiment.  Great to work with and I look forward to our next photo session. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andrijana – Cupcakes&Spiders

Location: Gold Coast – Southport Spit

Andrijana from Cupcakes&Spiders is a makeup artist (MUA) living at the Gold Coast.  We had been talking about doing a Boho shoot that she wanted to do makeup for.  I wasn’t very familiar with the Gold Coast so I decided to start doing some research into cool area’s to photograph.  The place that jumped out immediately was the Southport Spit.  This location gave us so many options.  We shot in the shade of some trees before moving over to some beach grass to finish off the shoot.  Andrijana is a lovely person to collaborate with.  She knew what kind of photo’s that she wanted and worked well with me and my direction.  I would suggest using Andrijana both behind (MUA) and in front of the camera.

 

 

Kah Hill

Location: Brisbane Powerhouse

Despite her young age Kah was amazing to work with.  Easy to laugh and not fazed by drunk idiots who wanted to be in pictures with her.  Our photo-shoot theme was Grunge (specifically the years 1991 to 1993) and my direction was specific and exact.  Kah managed to deliver exactly the look I was after.  Her ability to laugh and turn serious was amazing.  I worked with my photography partner to light the location so it looked different from my past photo-shoots there.  Kah is very patient and has a wonderful sense of adventure.  I think there is more than meets the eye with this one.
