Oh hi and stuff to people-ish things o.o)/ I trust and hope your organs are functioning properly. . Weā€™ve got another exciting collab to share! This series is based on that feeling you get when something ā€” or someone ā€” is pulling your strings. That, despite your best efforts, it feels like the world is conspiring against you. You resist, you put on a good face, you struggle to make things work the way they should. But all that does is get you further tangled up, until you just collapse under the weight of expectations. And yet, sometimes we need to fall apart to distill the most important parts of our character, so that we can pick ourselves up and thrive anew. . I have to give an immense thank you to Eve for her AMAZING makeup job in drawing all the puppet joints in addition to a beautiful HMU job overall. Her creative spirit and drive bring sets to life, and sheā€™s incredible to work with. I also want to thank Joyce for being a pinch-hitter assist for this shoot. She stepped up at the last minute to help me pull this set together, and it wouldnā€™t have happened if she hadnā€™t. A bonus call out to @justinridler as well! Justin has been an incredible mentor who constantly expands my vision of what photography and image making can be, and I canā€™t thank him enough for his counsel. . This set (again) broke the ceiling of complexity for me, and I canā€™t express how thankful I am to work with such amazing creatives that inspire me to keep shooting <3 .

Greetings again! I have so many things to say about this shoot, but none more important than words of thanks to the extraordinary crew that helped pull this together. This shoot was 11 hours in the making, and everyone gave their best to bring it to life. First and foremost, I have to thank Ebony & Eve. Ebony was a trooper working through hours of flowers being attached, mostly by Eve who also did a literal jaw dropping job on hair and makeup. Having never even met before this shoot, you guys really went all out and I canā€™t thank you both enough. . I also want to thank Alice and Josh as assistants for this shoot. They both brought a wealth of experience to the shoot along with much needed levity and enthusiasm as our collective fatigue set in. . To date this was the most complex shoot Iā€™ve done, and from the bottom of my heart, Iā€™m immensely grateful to everyone for helping me bring this vision to life. Thank you all! .

Alex [2 of 2] As a kid, I was pretty afraid of acting out. Part of that was my upbringing (Hawaii culture keeps a tight leash on kids through shared communityā€¦and an occasional rubber slipper), and part of it was that I knew I was, technically, a weird kid. I had a depressingly active imagination; Iā€™d boldly challenge anyone whoā€™d listen that Iā€™d found a sea monster lurking behind the shore break by my house. More often than not, it was just a particularly aggressive-looking rock, or the occasional baby moray eel thatā€™d gotten lost. Weirdness in childhood is rarely a positive when your formative years are built around fitting in. So I bottled it up as best I could and went on with my business. Now, a year away from 40, Iā€™m trying to be a lot kinder to the weird kid that Iā€™d repressed. I find creativity in mischief and confidence in the ā€œlook at this thing I foundā€ energy. And seeing how @alexplaysdressup brought this look to life along with @a.sas_photography drove something home for me. That weā€™re better for our rebellious weirdness, and weā€™re not alone in it either. . .

Alex [1 of 2] A collection of lighting studies with the very talented cosplayer ā€“ and now editorial model ā€“ @alexplaysdressup . Thereā€™s something special about seeing your vision come to life and evolve during production. Itā€™s like sprinting full speed down the street with your friends when you were a kid ā€“ lungs burning, wind muffling the world as it whips past your ears, and youā€™ve got the biggest grin on your face.

Greeting all, and by all, I mean the maybe one or two people who actually read captions on posts anymore o.o)/ Howā€™re yā€™all doing? . Iā€™ve had a hell of a few months ā€“ in no particular order I wrecked my OTHER shoulder (I guess one wasnā€™t enough. Thanks, turning 39 y/o), I completed my first semester as an undergraduate photography student after having jumped over from a masterā€™s program, I got super sick with Covid for a 3rd (maybe 4th) time, and between all that I got to work with so many amazing new people interested in creating beautiful things. Lots of life stuff! . Today though I want to turn a new page ā€“ sort of. As artists, I believe that one of our greatest practices is being able to close the gap between our inner world and our technical ability to manifest this world through our work. Ira Glass says the same, that, in paraphrasing, our tastes often outpace our ability to execute our vision. For a very long time, that had been me. I felt like my work had hit a plateau, and that the depths in which I was able to reach a wellspring of meaning had gone mostly dry. But over the last year, through trial, error, and collaboration with my artistic betters, that started to change. And recently Iā€™ve felt that I made another huge leap towards the visual language I want to be fluent in. . Iā€™m not there yet, far from it in fact, and I hope I never get there. So long as we continue to grow as people, weā€™ll need new ways of expressing ourselves. And for us to feel satisfied, I dare say, means weā€™ve either become saints or weā€™ve lost our will to evolve. . So, hereā€™s to more learning ā€“ may I remain the fool who stumbles through the world with a smile on his face. #monochromestyle #bnwimages #artofphotography #fiĢ‡neartphotography #stillifephotography by @whatcadefound

Hi, hello, and greetings fellow creatives o.o)/ Finally, weā€™re back in the studio ā€“ celebrations are in order! In this new season of shooting, Iā€™m keen to focus on experimenting with new techniques and having a bit less control. That means trying out new lighting, locations, and concepts with little idea of how itā€™ll all turn out. They say an artistā€™s greatest fear is a blank canvas, and thatā€™s been true for me when ā€œgetting it rightā€ was my primary concern. Iā€™m grateful to now have the space to explore and fumble, along with being pleasantly surprised when things go right! This set was built off of a lighting lesson from @lindsayadler_photo focused on additive lighting. When you combine red, green, and blue light in equal proportions, your end product is white light. When a subject blocks one of those colors, however, you end up with the derivative secondary color shadows of cyan, magenta, and yellow. Thereā€™s a whole debate about CMY actually being better primary colors than RGB, but I digress. I was lucky to find a willing co-creator in @sarahjv__ . After some initial finagling to get the lighting outputs correct (and wildly missing the in-camera white balance), we started flowing and experimenting with movement, angles, and additional rim lighting. The results are what you see here :) Iā€™m thrilled with how this turned out, but more importantly, this was a big step in helping me get over my reluctance to using multiple gels. Thanks to @lindsayadler_photo for making such a great course, and stay tuned for more o.o)b Photography, Direction & Edit: @whatcadefound Talent & HMUA: @sarahjv__ Assist & BTS: @harrywunhym | @lucas_gordon05 by @whatcadefound

Greetings, fellow human-shaped friends! I hope everyoneā€™s doing well :) Iā€™m genuinely excited to share a series that Iā€™d been sitting on for, like, 3 months waiting to see if weā€™d get publishedā€¦and we did! This series is a collection from a shoot with up-and-coming designer @jenniferongstudio . Jenniferā€™s series, TerraformeĢ, asks and answers the question of what extraterrestrial fashion might look like. Aside from the heat, the whole shoot was fantastic, and Iā€™m incredibly grateful to work with such lovely and talented folks here in Melbourne. Hope folks enjoy the series, and stay warm/cool depending on what hemisphere youā€™re in!!

TerraformeĢ, designed by emerging Australian fashion designer and artist Jennifer Ong, reimagines a series of untouched landscapes of Mars as wearable terrain. Specifically, these are the Polar Dunes, Game Board Dunes, Lyot Crater, Gamboa Crater, Meridiani Planum, Nili Patera and the Frosty 'Dust Devil' dunes, as seen in colour-enhanced satellite images from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (managed by the California Institute of Technology), and the University of Arizona's Lunar & Planetary Laboratory. These images were originally captured by the HiRISE camera on board NASAā€™s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The collection translates Martian surface textures into impressionistic garments that preserve the beauty of a planet we may one day alter through interplanetary colonisation. Each piece is a speculative archive, capturing a landscape before itā€™s changed, much like how landscape painters once documented the aesthetics of Earthā€™s shifting environments. Combining labor-intensive fabric manipulation on wools and accompanying soft silk and organza pieces, the collection wraps the wearer in warmth, weight, lightness and tactilityā€”these garments made of mostly natural fibres cover the human form, in stark contrast with vast Martian deserts rippling across planetary distances. The result is a series of experimental ready-to-wear pieces that blur the line between fashion, landscape, and art, reflecting our deeply human relationship with the environments we touch, imagine, and transform, and also of our insignificance in relation to the sublimity and vastness of space. Designer: Jennifer Ong @jenniferongstudio Photographer: Cade London @whatcadefound Collection Inspiration: Satellite images from NASA @nasa ,via the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory @nasajpl at the California Institute of Technology @caltechedu and the Lunar & Planetary Laboratory @uarizonalpl at the University of Arizona @uarizona HMUA: Rhianne Jammoul @_glambyrhi_ of Elite Makeup Academy @elite_makeup_academy Model 1: Billie Louise Dixon @billielouisedixon Model 2: Sarah Vradenburg @sarahjv__ Lighting Assistant: Harry Wunhym @harrywunhym Words by @misslucykate5 by @whatcadefound

Oh hi, hello, and greetings again o.o)/ I return with yet another post that is long overdue. Iā€™m thrilled to share my Day in the Desert set that I shot with the spectacular Holly Mackenna, and the unbelievably Scottish Andy Cheyne :) I got lucky enough to meet Andy on a photo walk the other month. And, in a warm and welcoming fashion I was wholly unfamiliar with, he invited me to join him for a shoot with Holly. . There was quite a bit of nonsensical nonsensing that we did, with both Andy and I acting as human light stands for one another, but thatā€™s really what itā€™s all about. As much as Iā€™ve thought about making a career as a photographer, this shoot reminded me that the whole point is to have fun while we create. A photography career is a privilege born out of dogged hustling, all while getting good enough to get lucky, but creating is a necessity. And Iā€™m grateful to get to create with such lovely people :) . Photography & Retouching: @whatcadefound Talent: @hollymackenna Collaborator & Best Human Light Stand: @photo_asc by @whatcadefound

Hi, hello, greetings all :) Exciting news! I got my first film roll back from development \( o . o)/ and it wasnā€™t complete $H1t! Donā€™t get me wrong, there was a good bit of junk on there, but it mostly wasnā€™t irredeemably underexposed or illegibly blurred, which was my concern given I was hand holding 1/30 sec shutter speeds. Film is definitely not my first visual language. Iā€™m not sure why, but there were far fewer shots from this roll that felt cohesive with my digital camera shots. I donā€™t hate it, but it definitely doesnā€™t feel like it completely fits me, even when I edit my digital shots to look more filmic. For these reasons, Iā€™ve hidden these photos behind a lighting study edit I hosted with @joyartcez and @.aparna.sai._ . But whoā€™s to know because nobody reads captions anymore anyway, right? And if you do ā€” DONā€™T FLAME ME ITā€™S MY FIRST FILM ROLL ā˜ ļø Many thanks to @filmneverdie for the rush development!! #minoltax700 #fujifilm400 #rokkor50mmf14 by @whatcadefound

Hi, hello, greetings :) Itā€™s starting to really cool down here in Melbourne. For reasons that are unbeknownst to me, apparently insulation is not really a thing in Aussie homes. Fortunately, my cat has basically glued himself to my leg, so Iā€™m effectively walking around with a large purring space heater. Climate aside, Iā€™m excited to present yet another series :) my goal was to shoot something Lacoste-esque with country club sports vibes and a cinematic finish. Itā€™s not my usual style, but Iā€™m actually quite pleased with how it turned out! Many thanks to both Devon and Rahul for assisting and standing in as human light stands at times, and thanks to Jiji for being our model šŸ˜Ž Photography & Retouching: @whatcadefound Talent: @prejiji Collaborators: @rvelements | @dslarson88 taken in RMIT Melbourne City campus by @whatcadefound

Hi, hello, greetings again! Itā€™s time for part 2 of my ā€œWow, people are cool in Melbourneā€ collaboration series! Such title, much prose. This set features the way-too-cool Ethan and Asrin ā€“ both lovely people who volunteered to help Bagas, Christina, and me complete our lighting assignments. These shoots were both cases of ā€œF$%* IT WEā€™RE DOING IT LIVEā€ problem solving on the fly, but Iā€™m really pleased with how they turned out. Stay tuned for another major shoot Iā€™ve got planned. REEEE!
