March 24, 2015

Many moons ago I discovered the fun to be had with instagram but I have only just started up my Cocoon Studio Instagram account to share my work, behind the scenes action, thoughts, progress and random observations.

If you are on Instagram be sure to head on over and follow

Learn Photography October – Short Intro to Photography Course

November 7, 2013

Today draws the end to the October ‘Learn Photography’ course and we had a great group of girls. I must take my hat off to one wonderful student who lovingly entered all her notes into her journal, each with tabs for easy reference later.

Are you looking at buying a DSLR? The question I get asked the most is which one should I buy and what lenses do I need?

 

Well here are my HOT TIPS ON LENSES: It all depends on what you are photographing. Think about your favourite subject matter and when you plan to use the camera.

 

For those photographing PEOPLE – I find a zoom perfect. I like to work across a range of 24-120. Lots of entry level cameras come as a kit of 2 lenses that break around 55mm. I find this the most frustating point to need to change lenses. Most of the time you need a bit of both lenses and always find you have opted to head out with the wrong one on. I suggest buy one zoom lens to cover a more usable range. 28-135 is a great range and anything that covers around that will be super usable and no need to change lenses!

 

For those in love with LANDSCAPES – opt for a wide angle lens like an 18-35mm range. Head to a store where you can try it out, go outside and see if what you can see is what you had envisaged.

 

For those obsessed with CLOSE UPS and small details: check the tech specs for how physically close you can get to a subject to maintain focus. Look for a macro or sometimes called a micro function.

 

Then you have the fixed or variable aperture and quality factors to address – speak to a reputable retailer about that – but now you have a starting point.

New Website Launch

September 2, 2013

590Wide

Well, I can finally share this with you all – My new ‘Cocoon Studio’ logo. This has been a long time coming and I have been desperate to share it since May whilst the new website was being designed and built.

Lauren from Funky Chicken Design has created this gorgeous hand illustrated cocoon and incorporated it into a whole new look and a brand new website. Not only has she been wonderful to work with, her interpretation of my brief was perfect.

I am loving that this blog is now incorporated into the website and now has the feature to add your own comments and facebook ‘like’ right there!

A special thanks to Simon and the crew at Three AM Design for their amazing work in bolting this site together. Every request fulfilled, schedule kept and miracles performed. Thanks so much guys.

I am also ridiculously excited to show you all this little video piece – a behind the scenes look at the journey a little baby and their parents take when they come in and join me for a Newborn Session.

Pop on your music and check it out over on you tube and leave a comment if you wish. Can also be found throughout the website where you see this ‘Newborn Journey’ symbol.

Learn Photography – Intro to Photography course Adelaide

July 29, 2013

New dates for the next Learn Photography courses are now announced. This time I am servicing the North East by holding them at the Jubilee Community Centre. I am also offering a daytime course for the first time which I think will be a winner with the access to a creche while you learn.

 

For more details on the courses, dates, costs and more please email me on anita@cocoonstudio.com.au
