These are some pics of a shooting I did a couples of weeks ago... definitely a challenging situation because the extreme light conditions (it was a very very bright morning) but a very very fun morning too!
She is Man Yee, a Yoga practitioner who lives in the Northern beaches. Man Yee is about to open her new business so she contacted me to take this photographs for her new website!
So if you like meditation and want to learn Yoga she is definitely is the right person to hep you.
Vasen is back! This time with an entire new range of amazing designs for 2011!
As you can see the clothes looked amazing, but the shooting turned out to be a real challenge for me this time. Struggling with rain, wind and blistering cold (sorry models) that was thrown at us by the enemy that was, Mother Nature, we where forced to shoot over a period of three days and had to deal with dramatic inconsistencies in lighting and the dreaded weekend rush in Manly!
Thankfully everything turned out well in the end, and I'm very happy with the results! Its always a pleasure to work with designers Amy and Kayita, and of course with the beautiful Leni and Patch. Thank you girls, I cant wait to work with you all again soon!
Dont forget to check the rest of the designs at the Vasen site and stay tuned as there is a lot of exciting progress happening on there end in 2011!
It was a very fun experience to participate in a collage Workshop with my friend Eli, here in the Gallery earlier this month. Sorry it took so long to put these pics up Eli, and to thank you aloud for the creative energy you brought! Hope Uni and teaching is going well mate!
All of the artwork where good, as you can see, however I still think my flower was the best! haha... (mine is the first one on the left) :)
Im very keen to continue doing workshops from different creative area's. Any artist out there, let me know! Or just spread the word if you know an artist who is interested in doing a workshop and need a place to do it... just contact or visit me at the Gallery, 95 Sydney Rd and lets organise one!
Shooting for DP-Agencies last Saturday at Fairlight, on the Northern Beaches.
Check all the models from Cia Maritima, the Brazilian brand of high end bikinis that is represented by DP-Agencies here in Australia... very cool stuff!!
Special thanks to Kayita and Kara for the modeling.
This show is an artist-run exhibition where the works are presented by those who created them - a great opportunity to meet local artists! (From January 22nd until March 5th at 95 Sydney Rd, Manly)
It was a very fun night, and what can I say about the clothes... is just amazing!
Keep an eye on Vasen because I know there are beautiful new styles coming soon!
Thanks to my good friend Zoli for help me, and of course Kayita, Amy and Pacth.
Barra, crocs and camels steaks is over! What a great success it was having others showcasing their creative talent at 95 Sydney Road, and further defining the key objective that I have in mind from the beginning for this gallery: "a place to showcase my photography along with providing a creative space to share with other artist"
But, now its over it is my time to put my stuff back onto the walls. Before I sign off however, I would just like to thanks the people that came in the past two weeks, and for those of you who enjoyed yourself, keep tuned because in January there is much planned for other collaborations to exhibit.
Lastly, in case i don't have time to post anything new before December 31, Merry Christmas to everybody and a Happy New Year!
PS: To any artist out there interested in showing their work please contact me. There is still space for our January exhibition or if not that, than their is always time in the future!
Peace
This is the work of three photographers: Mark Taylor, Damien Mengersen and Sam Crocker who were in a five week road trip through across the centre of Australia. The exhibition opens this Saturday evening at 6pm and continues for two weeks. Don't miss it!! See you guys there!
Here is a sneak preview of the Plasidapparel Winter 2011 lookbook! Its a shame that we couldn't do the shooting in Bellingen (and thank you rain for follow us to Sydney), we had to do it indoors... but putting the weather aside...
what better way to spend a Friday afternoon than chilling out with friends and taking some snaps! Drinks and pizza topping off the night....
The clothes looks sick - get excited for the drop next FEB! Thanks off course to Jack Farley and Claudia Morehead for modelling... and Jonson for the beers!
Well, after a couple of days to recover after the weekend of pouring rain and torrential drinking at Bellingen's Global Carnival (or rather, the local Pub, The Federal) I can now post a couple of photos from the week away to Bellingen.
Awesome place, awesome people, awesome beaches... bummer it was such crapy weather over the last few days though. As a result of the weather I didn't have the chance to take the camera out to much, but on the Friday I was able to take some shots very early in the morning
We had to postpone the shooting for plasidapparel, weather resulting, and the Global festival was canceled on Sunday because of flash flooding... The question remaining then was a simple one, as the answer to it: what you can do when the rain doesn't want to stop? Yes... hit the local bar! All the week! I blame the rain of course....
This week was a very good one in many ways... the fact that I sold my first prints was definitely the cherry(s) on the top!
As for next week, its looking to be similarly as awesome! I'm going to go for one week to Bellingen NSW to shoot the lookbook for the winter collection of plasidapparel, whilst also partying with the crew at Bellingen's Global Carnival, and also, of course, for Juzzy's birthday celebrations!!
So, I'm very pump for this week and will be shooting alot whilst I am up there so hope to come back on Monday with a lot of cool pics! :)
My last 90 days... in 90 secs!... Damn... looks so easy in the video... why the hell it took me so long???
Hi everyone,
As you may already know, I'm about to open an Fine Art Gallery in Manly on the 15th of August at 95 Sydney Rd with the intention to showcase my photography, along with providing a creative space to share with other photographers and other artists. The idea was born from my desire to express my creativity through my photographs to a larger scale of people, so this personal project is going to be dedicated to sharing and promoting different types of creativity from myself, and various other artists.
If you are interested in any form of art, you and your mates are more than welcome to drop by on Sunday August 15th for the opening day at 95 Sydney Rd. Everything will be kicking off around 5.00; drinks will also be provided for all.
Espero verlos ahi!
Mauricio

Hey me encanto compartir la casa con ustedes...
los voy a extraniar cholitos...
los veo en Melbourne!!
Angkor Wat es simplemente impresionante!. Los niños juegan escondiendose por todo el complejo de ruinas mientras otros menos timidos se acercan a los turisas a vender artesanias por un dolar.
Paseando por la aldea flotante de Tonle Sap, el lago mas grande del sudeste de Asia (crece hasta 5 veces su tamaño en epoca de lluvias) me encontre a esta niña que vino paseando en su canoa y se acerco a mi bote para venderme su mascota... y se molesto porque no se la quise comprar!! ajaja
