BERNIE'S RELEASE

PHOTOGRAPHER: Chris Cooper

PHOTO DESCRIPTION

Immediate reaction obviously is falling, but I took it in a sense of, not listening directly to the sound but sometimes how sound effects you. Stages of listening to music create sense of clarity, free fall. Your eyes close, letting the beat, rhythm take over and lifting you higher. On a perfect St. Kilda Sunday, Bernie is letting the sound take him where no else can go. Hopefully he will land in a happy place.

Canon EOS Photo5, Confetti | Inspiration #016

Monty's New Toy

PHOTOGRAPHER: Chris Cooper

PHOTO DESCRIPTION

To celebrate good times I was going i got my friends daughter to come around and start playing with confetti and chocolate and lollies. Instead my dog was the one to get more of a kick out of it then my friend. I then got her and my dog playing around and this picture came out. They both aren't even in full view but the way the photo flows with colour was a real treat. I hope you smile as much as I when you see it.

Colour Wheel

PHOTOGRAPHER: Bernard Winter

PHOTO DESCRIPTION

One man band this evening so had to be creative in terms of object and light positioning assistance. Using the projector again I found that shooting through a fan also splits colours up. Pretty cool. Love this photo for it's angles and dimension.

Mind Games

PHOTOGRAPHER: Chris Cooper

PHOTO DESCRIPTION
Named after a John Lennon song, 'Mind Games' depicts a scene of a couple through a dinner. The incense/smoke is to create the mood, or at least the flame was at the beginning. Burning brightly, a dramatic change can turn something so bright into a dark unpredictable form. A reflection into the way we and the things around us change too.

Canon EOS Photo5, Bubble Gum | Inspiration #014

Bubble Burst Bubble

PHOTOGRAPHER: Chris Cooper

PHOTO DESCRIPTION
Experimenting with the bubble gum was fun. I wanted people to double take when seeing this picture. Bubble gum was a journey back to childhood for me. Old smells and tastes of strawberry resonated from within, and the over powered smell of sweetness took the to the nose. I wanted to get people involved so i wandered around asking people do they bubble or burst. Well.....what do you do??

Chewing Gum

PHOTOGRAPHER: Bernard Winter

PHOTO DESCRIPTION
I have always wanted to get into distorting reality in-camera and this is the beginning. Does a portrait need to be face on? Classically yes but more so it is important to attempt to capture the personality of a person in a portrait (at least that's what I believe. Chris is as easy going as they come but always looking skyward.

Canon EOS Photo5, Eye Dropper | Inspiration #013

Over the next couple of days, Chris & I will be posting our attempt at the Canon EOS Photo5 Competition. It's easy to say in hindsight that we could have done a heap of things better but generally speaking we are pretty stoked with what we produced in time. Both of us look forward to more similar projects in the future, whether they be self initiated; or competition type projects.

It should be said, that these shots are our attempt and if you have a genuine interest in photography you should check out the entries page. Chris and I are only at the beginning of photography journey in comparison to a lot of people that entered.

Below is the first brief to be completed. It was the macro, bigger then life brief. An eye dropper was provided for inspiration or use, with the main goal being get in close on a droplet of liquid.

Glass Invader

PHOTOGRAPHER
Bernard Winter

PHOTO DESCRIPTION
The small chips in the glass feel are bit like specks of sand. This adds to the feeling of a sunny, fun day, by the beach. In various configurations of invaders I choose the least perfect as it has the most organic quality.

Storm Aftermath

PHOTOGRAPHER
Chris Cooper

PHOTO DESCRIPTION
A rain & hail filled Storm came through Melbourne over one weekend. A devastation of leaves, water and mess was left on the deck of our house. Next day clear, left an eerie suppleness in the air. A curved leaf sitting next to a drop containing a complete solar system of its own.
