Fire and Ice. Held at Blockhouse Bay Library as part of the Auckland Festival of Photography 2013. 

This exhibition was inspired by the song "This girl is on fire".  When I first heard Alicia Keyes singing it, images of girls and fire came into  my head. I started off creating images just of that theme but as I progressed  though the project it occurred to me that I should put some contrasting elements  into the mix. As fire is hot I  decided to use cold as the contrast and so ice became the contrasting element.  These elements have been depicted  using redheaded and  white haired models. 

One  of the  challenges I experienced in executing this project was to find sufficient models who fitted the theme and who were willing to take part in the project. I  contacted and interviewed many models but only a few were committed enough to   actually take part. I did not want to have more than one photograph per model   and as a result the project took many weeks to get enough material to avoid   having more than one image per model. Some models had two photo sessions before   I was satisfied that I had captured what I wanted to. 
Most of the images were created in camera with minimal post  processing while others are composites. The majority of   images were taken in my studio.
So I thank the models, makeup artists and body painters who  donated their time and expertise and  made it possible for me to create this exhibition. 
 
Images at this exhibition are printed on a different media than the  usual photographic paper, matt and frames.
