Katz Shool of Dance "Shoot in the Forest"

OnTuesday late afternoon last week we adjourned to a pine forest nearby to do a shoot of a group of the students of the Katz School of Dance. A really great venue with a broad spectrum of opportunities and much fun had doing the shoot. The soft , filtered late afternoon light worked well for us.

"Documentary" style wedding images.

I recently had the opportunity to shoot some wedding images from afar.

These images were shot in the Memorial Garden dedicated in the memory of the late Rochelle Karp who tirelessly worked as a volunteer to Jaffa for many years. In addition it is also in memory of her husband Herman and daughter Lianne, all of whom passed away in the last few years.
The garden is situated in the courtyard of the frail care section of Jaffa and a corner of tranquility and beauty and a peaceful retreat for the residents of the frail care section of the home.
These are some of the images shot in the garden.
