She is 11 today 🥰 she weirdly was half into doi She is 11 today 🥰 she weirdly was half into doing photos (as in she specifically selected her clothing - which is a very Céleste thing to do) but the appeal of actually particiating did not last long. I’ll take what I can get. She’s a brilliant writer and thinker. Feels the things deeply and continues to surprise me. 

And a timely Swift announcement today because if you couldn’t already tell with the subtle hat nod she’s all over it.

Also, she just got glasses!

I got to shoot for @villagecinemas a few weeks bac I got to shoot for @villagecinemas a few weeks back. It was a VERY fun day but also mildly intense with juggling light, as lighting in a cinema is HARD work. I don’t typically work with a tonne of gear. I shot this mostly with a bounced on camera flash (I did use some OCF) and also a small (prob too small) hand held LED. I have a weird relationship with lots of excess gear. Yes you can DO more with more… but it comes at a cost of intimidation for those being photographed. And the best images come from when people feel relaxed enough yo be themselves. These were not models or actors they were volunteers. This was the point after all - real employees. 

It was also mildly hilarious in some of my own preplanning researchinh pop cultural references to hint at… being someone who has a glaring gap in my 90s understanding because of growing up overseas. 

Other fun and mildly embarrassing moment of this session was that one of the employees who joined for some of it looked “familiar” and I told him as such - (A friend who worked for Village for a long time so I thought through her) - nope, turns out he was a @survivorau contestant. I do have a mild (not mild at all 😆) Survivor obsession. Just apparently not a very good memory. I think he liked telling me though haha
This nephew of mine @hannah.nixon is not so small This nephew of mine @hannah.nixon is not so small anymore. These images are from a few years ago now. But my other nephew is about the age and gloriously rolly so it might be time… how about it @lbeimers ?
