New friends...

Today was our 2nd club meeting at 'The Loft' the Jewellery Quarter Centre of Photography.

There was 17 photographers and 3 models using the 2000sq ft studio space - the photographers split into 3 groups and in turn worked with all models.

Images were being posted on the net within a couple of hours of the shoot - everyone has been exceptionally positive about the club saying how much they are enjoying it and how refreshing it is not to be bound by stuffy club rules.

The photographers in the club range in ability - there is no judging of people, no 'i have a better camera than you' mentality - everyone helps each other out - it really is fantastic

Here are a couple of images from today taken by Steve and myself...Keep checking the blog for more updates from TipTop Towers :-)

Its all go...

Its been a very busy week for us...arranging workshops, courses, tutorials and much more.

The club is up and running with the 2nd meeting only a week away - its all good.

There are plenty of workshops planned for the remainder of the year so get in touch if you would like some more info.

Thats it for now...back to editing.
Over and Out

The new studio expansion

We're expanding.

TipTop Photography have taken over the lease for the adjoining building and its going to be a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

The current studio will remain - but the secret door behind the curtain will lead to a whole new world.

For those of you who have not been in the studio.... you will be thinking 'secret door'?? AAha... its like the lion, the witch and the wardrobe.... you walk behind the curtain, open the door and pow! you are in our new studio!

It will have 3 fixed sets, a lounge/chill out set, a boudoir set, fixed kitchen set (retro/diner style) with room for a white infinity area plus heaps amount of storage, changing room and bathroom!

As with the current studio, once its up and running it will be available to hire out and will also be used for our regular workshops - the new studio means more photographers can shoot at any one time with more than one model.
