Jo Nelson-hair and make up artist

Jo Nelson asked us to photograph her for her website.

We work with Jo lots and like many photographers, make up artist can cringe at being in the shot. But as you can see below, we always crack our subjects up. Our key is to not operate on ego. Be focused to do what ever it takes to give your client a natural image. Jo was pleased with the shoot.

Here are a few behind the scene images of Jo.

John Paul Young- photo shoot

John Paul Young was in the studio the other day for some new promo images . It was a great shoot and JPY was a real pro to work with, easy going and relaxed.Maree was assisting and Jo Nelson was doing Hair and make up.

Some of JPY's well known songs include "Yesterdays Hero", " I Hate the Music" I especially liked the film clip from Strictly Ballroom where he sings "Love is in the Air". It was a great film production.

Cherrie from O'Carrollyns private eco village at Port Stephens gave daughter Tarnie a portrait shoot for her 17th birthday.We had a great session . Here are a few un edited shots from that shoot.

We did several looks an Jo Nelson did a great job of hair and make up.

We try to achieve several hairstyles during the longer sessions as well different lighting setups.

We shot other frames to be converted to Mono, these need to be lit differently
