Smoke, lights. Action

This shoot had brought a level of excitement for the future.

It is a vindication of not accepting good, as good enough.

Of repeating the same process, experimenting, adding and refining elements, to enable me to realise the images in my head which are inspired by the stunning images from around the world.

It has taking me 3 shoots to get this far.

Trialling the smoke machine

Refining smoke machine (chilling with ice)

Throwing lights at the smoke.

The next step is to refine the lights.

I need to bring more movement to the images.  

Bring a timeless gracefulness, to complete the illusion that these could have been taken in a top end studio anywhere in the world.

(Not in my lounge of lil' old Invercargill).  

That is what I aspire to.

The All Blacks are not happy with being good.

It is hours and days of drills, repetition, getting good at what they do.

It is a passion that channels the raw talent.  Perfecting the little things.

That is what I aspire to.

There have been no failures. It is building on success.

Most people would be happy to accept the accomplishments and celebrate the success.

But I am not most people.

And you cant yet see what is in my head .

Big thanks to the Mulvihill's once again for volunteering their time.
