I love teaching my workshop How to pose. If you are wondering what it is all about keep reading.  Having your picture taken can be daunting. All your little insecurities come out to play. We may be insecure about our stomach so we stand behind people with our arms crossed in every picture. We may be insecure about or teeth so we never open our mouth and always look a little grim. The most popular posing mistakes I have experienced when photographing clients are: Covering their mouth with their hand as they are ashamed of bad teeth Crossing their hands in front of their body as they are unhappy with their stomach Throwing their hands in front of their face and saying “no photos, please” Making a funny face like sticking their tongue out as they are anxious and react this way The only problem is that if we cover up our insecurities incorrectly, we will never have a nice picture of ourselves. It’s okay to have insecurities. We all have them. But if we tackle ...

Kate's Workshop: How to pose I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching workshops assisting people to be more photogenic. This workshop does not talk about "studio lighting" or "photoshop" Why? Because there are plenty of photographers that can make you look great utilising controlling light and editing photo's. I am not particularly interested in Glamour photography or fashion photography. I like capturing memories. These particular type of images are usually of you sharing a moment with your husband, child, or friends. These images are the ones you frame proudly around your home, or post on facebook, - and why not look fabulous in those! My workshop has three components 1) How to pose for a photo: What are the tips and tricks to make you look slimmer, more confidant, and be able to understand posing so you can decide how you want to be perceived in images (confidant, friendly, professional ect) 2) Makeup tweaks (I do not teach make up, I d...

As a photographer I am VERY fussy about who I let photograph me. It needs to be someone who understands light and have a passion for their art.  As I am Mrs Australia Globe 2013 this year, as much as I would like to I cannot take my own photographs! And so I got Melissa Fiene www.melisafiene.com to take them.  Melissa is inspired by he New York Photographer  Ryan  Brenizer, and I think her photos are beautiful. Thanks Melissa! 

I love creating Photography affirmations. I create the images and the poetry. For me it's a way to creatively express, but also grow as a person. I'm not sure about others but when I create a message- its for me as well as other people. I sometimes catch myself in a moment of stress and look at my affirmation and remember to breathe! Enjoy X

Well I am just placing the camera down for the minute (who am I kidding) and have decided to slip  into a nice evening gown and represent my country in the Mrs Globe pageant in China. As Mrs Australia Globe 2013, I very excited to share my perspective on beauty and competition. I believe that beauty should be celebrated and pageants are there to be enjoyed. So here I go.

My beautiful family took a road trip in California to Napa (wine region), Tahoe (ski slopes), and amazing Yosemite. Yosemite is a pilgrimage for all photographer as the Master Ansel Adams spent his photographic career being inspired by this amazing national park. Enjoy my photographs. X
