Teaching Kiddies at Rotorua Art Museum

4/29/2013

Picture
As part of the Rotorua Art's Museum school holiday programme, I got to spend a few hours playing, I mean teaching, with a class of young creatives.  There was around 15 kids and I gave them the creative challenge of producing a photo series.  The photos either had to be themed or tell a story.  They had to first draw up some ideas on paper and I brought along my suitcases of props for them to use if they wanted.  

They did really well with a few nature series, a wedding story, and plenty of whacky hair!and were a lot fun.  We had a slideshow of their work at the end the day.  Here is some photos of took of them.

Introducing Baby Bree!  This little girl was only born on the 9th of this month (April).  With all that gorgeous hair and her expressive face, she looked a lot older.  She did really well.  I had to snap the last photo though, Bree and her brother Blake's expressions were priceless. Here is a quick peek into some of the photo shoot.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT: June / July 2013
"Me and My Guitar" photo series for exhibition.

I need Guitar Players, young / old / learners / rock stars
to pose for me with their guitars in the months of June and July for my photo series.  You will get your images on Cd for your own use as well.

These will be a series of black and white photos.  I have some spots in Rotorua I want photographs to be taken at, but am also keen to photograph players in their hang-outs, sheds, studios, vans, in Rotorua.

Would consider doing groups of guitar playing friends together too.

PLEASE contact me if I can photograph you: calicojoni@gmail.com or text 0274506593

Yes, okay this is my ukulele. But I don't play guitar very well as I have small hands :P

Last week I photographed the Santa Maria Motel.  This motel is real cutesy.  White roses at the front, flower boxes, and a cute as, rustic cottage.
The hotel is also home to two dogs and a rabbit.

The Girl who just couldn't sit still....

Had a good laugh with this photo sitting.  This little girl was action packed and wanted to explore everything.  She even made sure all the buttons on my camera were working.  Loved her facial expressions as I followed her around and grabbed some 'as it happened' shots.  This is one happy little girl :) 

Just click on a picture below to get the full view.
May you always be cheeky and full of smiles!!

In and Out of the Calico Jo Studio - family shoot

We started outside, but look at the lake.  You can't even see Mokoia Island.  It was so grey, you could barely tell the water from the sky.  So after a few outside family shots in the drizzle, we jumped inside the studio.

The session ended with Grandad/Grandson, and when I waved goodbye to them all outside..... it had stopped raining :P
