Catalogue and e-commerce studio shoot for Rolla’s Jeans Womens Collection.

Melbourne based denim brand Rolla’s Jeans needed a fairly straight forward, white wall e-commerce studio shoot. What was enjoyable about it was being able to inject a bit more attitude and character into the models poses which gives for a really strong overall look.

Namibia Portraits by Marc Llewellyn

It’s easy to develop preconceived notions of Africa, and it’s people, being less than safe for travellers. However, from my experience, this couldn’t be more further from the truth.

The Namibian and Botswanan people wore a constant and welcoming smile across their face and every passing of a local was met with intrigue and welcome.  A genuine and honest interaction I hadn’t encountered with any other culture.  Northern Namibia is also known for having a population of Himba People, a nomadic, unmistakably ochre-skinned tribespeople originally from Angola and still living unchanged in their mud huts today.

5D Mk3 Double Exposure Test by Marc Llewellyn

I've been really enjoying exploring double exposure photography lately.  It's wildly interesting and quite difficult to achieve a well balanced image.  I recently borrowed a Canon 5D mk3 from my Dad which has built in multiple exposure functions.  It's a completely different medium and an art form within itself.  Looking forward to testing it out more on my upcoming trips to India and the Mentawai Islands.

Canon 1v - Roll 7 - Porta 800 by Marc Llewellyn

A few years back I made an impulse purchase on a Canon EOS 1v film rig.  A work horse from yesteryear.  As big a a 1DX and heavy as a brick.  But paired with a modern prime lens can produce some amazing results - especially portraits.  This was a roll of Portra 800 used on a couple of rainy days with some friends.  The grain was a little intense when you needed to push the camera in poor light, however it performed great in good light.
