Justine in nature

Every time I go out and do some photography, I try to improve something. I’m getting to the stage where I am starting to experience some “imposter” syndrome, and fear that the work I’m producing is starting to eclipse my own technical understanding. I might make a further post about this later.

It’s becoming more and more natural to do things by instinct. It’s been just over a year since I started shooting again, and I’m not yet feeling like I’ve plateaued with my skill level.

hese images were captured in Adelaide, South Australia, using my trusty Nikon D750, 24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 and my 105 f/2 lens. These images are lit with a Godox AD200 strobe.

Props the stranger who overheard us talking about photography on the hiking path and suggested the field of flowers.

The light was truly magical at the location on the day, and the shoot was an incredible amount of fun. Working in the “wild” is always fun, and an open mind helps when exploring pre-determined locations.

As a result, this was an incredibly diverse shoot with several locations, outfit changes, and changing light as location to location varied. This is the glorious part of not really having a plan when wandering into a Photoshoot.

The first few images here were captured near (and on) the ruins of Newman’s Nursery at Anstey Hill Recreation Park, in South Australia.

This location is dotted with the crumbling brickwork of a nursery that was ravaged by bushfires in Australian summers past.
