Renate Jane

By and large, most of my experience in portrait photography is with couples. Whether it’s their wedding day, or an engagement shoot. Sometimes it’s just because they love each other. Very rarely do I get the chance to work on a solo portrait shoot. Thus it was with much enthusiasm, and a little trepidation, that I undertook this artistic shoot with local musician, Renate Jane.

We took off into the bush with my camera, her guitar, and half a wardrobe. I absolutely love photographing outdoors! However, if it’s too sunny it can sometimes be a challenge getting the right lighting. There’s something quite nice about challenging yourself in different lighting conditions. Learning to utilise shadows and highlights effectively is crucial to the end result.

Keep an eye on Renate Jane, she might very well be the next Australian Idol. Oh wait, we don’t have that show anymore, do we?
