I have blogged about the beautiful coastline a few times, and I don’t apologise. The sound of breaking waves be they gently lapping onto the sand or crashing with enough force to shake the ground is nothing short of addictive.
If I haven’t visited the beach for several days, when I do I feel…..cleaner, or refreshed, it’s hard to describe but certainly better for a stroll or swim, or just to sit and listen to the the music of the breaking waves.
Just walking around beautiful Burleigh Heads the other day and noticed that the volcanic rocks that litter the shoreline look like a migration of creatures heading into the sea…either that or I do need a holiday..lol
Whilst waiting for a model to arrive for a fashion shoot, I spotted these rowers against the morning sun……
Out of bed early to start work on a series of Seascapes that depict the love affair with the beach and surrounds here on the Gold Coast.
Lets face it the Gold Coast is normally associated with bikinis, blondes and boobs and probably for good reason the beaches are beautiful and the fantastic climate encourages the beachy look.
However, I also believe that this great part of the world can be illustrated with just a picture of vitality and health.
When we were shooting some portfolio images for local model Roxanne, we wondered out along a sand spit and the whole scene just summed up the Gold Coast, clean air, beautiful beaches and vital people…the lifestyle on the Gold Coast.
I have posted images of surfing before on this blog, hey lets face it I do live about ten minutes from a suburb called Surfers Paradise.
Usually when there is a rideable wave near here, its standing room only out the back and each wave is hotly contested.
Not the case today when this bloke was all alone, surfing up a storm…………………..
As a boy I would jump on my bike and chase rainbows looking for the elusive pot of gold.
Needless to say I never caught up with the fabled treasure.
This fellow at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast had a new way to try to snag the treasure..maybe this is why its’ called the Gold Coast………….
This was shot a while ago, but I really like the look of mischief on Tiffanys’ face.
Tiff has been featured in a couple of the earlier shoots and has always managed to look glamourous and have a hint of devil about her personality.
The “Cooly Rocks” Festival starts again next week, the festival pays homage to all things Rock and Roll.
Slick hair, booby socks, swirling skirts, rumbling V8s and burger bars..Cooly Rocks has it all.
Coolangatta, the town that hosts the festival is on of the hottest beach destinations along the coast and so there has to be a fair bit of Beach Boys rocking over the beach….
Along a rocky shore,its funny how a few rocks always look as if they have a purpose as opposed to being just there…….
