Made this illustration for a photographer covering Melbourne Cup in Australia. It is is Australia´s most prestigious annual horse race and the women dress up in royal British style. I painted it in watercolor and ink on fine art paper.

This painting in turquoise watercolor was inspired by the colors of the sky as the day is early and the light is clear. I painted it using the technique wet-in-wet on Langton fine art paper.

I created this illustration for a group of fashion photographers in Melbourne. After drawing a sketch in pencil, I colored it using watercolor and finished it off with ink on brushes and pens. Thereafter, I scanned the illustration into Photoshop for some final retouching.

Every fashion photographer usually carries two cameras at the same time, I learned. One for taking photos at a distance using a longer lens and one with smaller lens for close ups. I wanted to capture this in the illustration without making it look too busy with cameras distracting the impression of the overall look. Therefore, I just suggested some of the cameras with a small glimpse of it or with the strap for holding it.

I made a simple painting of the background as a picturesque city scene. My aim was to keep it light and airy in order to keep focus on the main characters in the foreground.
