Cygnet Bay Pearls at Facez


Dale has just done three shoots for Cygnet Bay Pearls. The first three were H2O based in the Swan River and the fourth was in Facez studio and at Wild Poppy's in Wray Ave. Dale's model was Pam Jackson. Clothing by Diamond Aps in Wray Ave.

Our new logo


Believe it or not Dafna and I finally settled on a logo - yes, version 24. Denise Williams, graphic designer extroardinaire ploughed her way through 23 versions prior to giving this one legs. My original concept was based on ad I saw for Liza Minelli - but it was dafna who added the fimal touch with the drunked Z toppling off to one side.

Studio close to Lift-Off


Dafna and i have had a few shake-down shoots sorting out lighting and backgrounds. We've installed a wall-mounted Elinchron hair light on a Manfrotto boom and a new 500w 1mx1m double-softbox on another Manfrotto wall boom. These are backed up by 1000w Elinnchron with a 2mx1m softbox and an Elinchron 240w background light.

Our wonderful handyman, David Stobie has pianted the floor Kodak 18% grey and sorted out the cabling. A mobile equipment trolley, new Sekonic Flash Meter and an audio system means that the studio is close to lift-off.
