Tyson @ Waymouth Street Carpark Adelaide, SA

Tyson is a young man on a big mission. He helps organisations improve overall effectiveness which makes the organisation much more valuable.

These images were taken at the Waymouth Street carpark, which has since been demolished. The car park was old, rundown, rusty and haggard, the perfect backdrop for the purpose of this shot. I was aiming for a dark mafia type shot for this image. Cool, calm, collected and if looks could kill, you'd be dead.

This image will be entered into the South Australian Professional Photography awards in 2009.

Kirra, Irish Deerhound photo shoot at Scott Creek, South Australia

Roaming a large Scott Creek property is the gorgeous Scottish Deerhound who goes by the name Kirra. She is a friendly old soul who warms to you without hesitation, even if you are a stranger. Although the weather was cold in the hills, my legs were warm where she was leaning against me as I was talking to her owner Dee and her friend Emma.

Scottish Deerhounds, unlike other breeds of dogs age a lot quicker. For each year they live, it is equivalent to 10 dog years as opposed to 7. Their lifespan is between 7 and 10 years. Kirra is 14 years young and when she's not puffed out from a nanna walk, she's galloping around like a 2 year old puppy.

She was a pleasure to photograph and I felt honoured to meet such a friendly beautiful animal.

Latest update

It's been a while since Bens last post but that doesn't mean that nothings been happening. Quite the contratry in fact. Benjamin has been going through zone training which basically teaches one how to be in the 'zone'. Life isn't a battle of control, not if you just go with the flow. If your in the zone then everything good just happens. Benjamin is now the first Zone Trained photographer (visit http://www.zonehigh.com/ for more info). In other news, www.benjaminliew.com.au has been revamped with less - less is more right? Still needs some work but it's a work in progress. Benjamin has been busier with admin as opposed to shooting but what better feeling is there than being ORGANISED?!

The studio will be taking on a couple of work experience students soon, so if there is a young person lurking around the studio setup, this is why. Benjamin is currently learning Italian so if you speak the language, please attempt to have a conversation with him in the language.

This is just a quick update so please stay tuned for photo's and more updates.
