Pastel portraits, the past revisited. Our young model in this image is Leila, who you may remember appeared on this blog a couple weeks back. This series of portraits was created in the studio. Leila had just finished tossing her hair all over the place for a photo series. She rested for a moment, and [...]
When all said and done. Photographers are painters. Except we use light. No light equals no photos in our world. How we shape and mould light has a great bearing on the way our photography looks. Today’s brief post was to be about how and why we choose to use different equipment to do different [...]
Portrait photography at excitations to see some changes. Evolution rather than revolution I think is the best way to describe our plans for portrait photography over the coming months. I know our discerning clients. Those whose taste in design and fashion are developing quickly will love the coming changes. You have only to walk into [...]
Only days to go until that most important day of all. Well it must be, after all the pressure we put ourselves under to achieve perfection and completion for the 25th of December. Here at excitations we have been burning the midnight oil. So much so that we’re concerned about the effect we might be [...]
Broken Hill photography, always great fun in great locations We always look forward to crossing the mighty Murray River and heading north to Broken Hill.

Right at the moment there are simply not enough hours in every day to get all the stuff we need to get done.That’s especially true here at excitations.We are way behind with posting to this blog for instance. But we couldn’t let a [...]
Manangatang Debs, a quick look at what happens behind the camera. The crew from excitations were in Manangatang last weekend shooting 11 beautiful debs. So to were Tom and Pauline from O-line Videos. At debutante balls we tend not to see a lot of each other. Sort of like a relay race, I suppose. When [...]
Engagement photos on location, always a lot of fun and sometimes a challenge As time came closer to photographing Sarah and Natale. We became more nervous. Looking at the local weather radar every few minutes wasn’t helping. Out to the West, headed right towards us, a large band of rain. Would the rain hold [...]
Mikayla and Larry, a bunch of balloons and a million ideas for deb photos We get to photograph Mikayla occasionally. Each time it seems, she has an idea she would like to try. So when she arrived for her deb photos with a bunch of balloons and a good looking fella. Well let say we [...]
