You’re Beautiful

Dove (you know, the soap company) did that big campaign not too long ago with the tag-line “Campaign For Real Beauty”. The accompanying video (this one) is a really interesting watch.

I’m not a lady so I can’t truly say that I understand the pressure heaped upon me by adverts and magazines with women who appear to be absolutely perfect. I can however say, with authority, that no woman is perfect – even models – and we all need a little help from the magic tools that Photoshop provides.

Fire Walk With Me

Met up recently with a mate, Tim, who does Fire Poi.  We’d planned all sorts of different photos we could try, but when you’re actually there and doing them you realise how tough it’ll be to do them!  I’m looking forward to another shoot soon so I can apply all the lessons I learnt in this shoot.

Matt - Hi Kate, they were all shot with long-exposures, with me and my friend either fire-poi’ing or running around with an LED light.

Thanks for the comment, Matt
