Tara ‘The Great’ Simmons
After hearing that this shot had made it into todays Courier Mail, I thought I had better get a move on and upload the pics. Even though I wasn’t credited in the paper, I still am very excited to have my photo make it into page 9.
I had been asked to take some profile shots of a local musician, Tara Simmons. I decided to do the shoot at the Spring Hills Baths, in a 1950′s kind of way. I must apologise for trying to get Tara into the water at a brisk 8am! After a fair deal of swearing we decided that getting into the pool wasn’t going to happen. The Spring Hills Baths made for a wonderful location, such character and history, and I extend a huge thankyou to the owners/management, especially Alex Minchinton for allowing us to shoot there.
Anyway, I’m not one with words. I’ll let the photos do the talking. I think you will agree with how I feel about them.
More pics to come…

That’s awesome, dude! Can’t wait to see the PDF. To be honest, when you sent me the pic, I didn’t realise where it was taken.

I saw that photo in the paper today and wondered if you had taken in it. It looks so much better than it did in the paper. Such a gorgeous photo. Congrats
