Kajo Photography - Fineart Landscapes and Panoramas

An honour

Kajo — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:30:46 +0000

I have recently been awarded a very prestigious project by the office of Tourism NSW.
The assignment is to shoot iconic shots of Sydney for their international advertisement campaign.

So this has kept me extremely busy – scouting and getting unique shots that speak Sydney!
But I really enjoy working for such a huge project and feel very honoured to be the photographer who’s photos are going to be displayed in magazines and on billboards all across the globe.

Photoshop CS6 is going to rock

Kajo — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 21:15:16 +0000

I’m just having a play with the new beta version of Photoshop CS6.
I gotta say it will be a must have upgrade for me.
The content aware tool was introduced in CS5 and worked beautifully, however sometimes it also completely stuffed up, because the user had no control over it.

They finally introduced user control of content aware fill, so it has become much more usable now.
There are a few other things I very much look forward to using and that is the tilt/shift filter.
I just love the miniature effect that it can create but it’s a very expensive lens. Being able to now create it in Photoshop is going to be a lot of fun.

Here is a Sneak Peak video of what you can expect.

I am very excited to announce that my 2nd ebook has just been released.

It follows my trip to Antarctica in 2009 with lots of photos, descriptions, shooting details and general information about Antarctica.

If you’re planning on going down there some time or just want to day dream about it, you will love this book.
It has been two years in the making and finally I am ready to release it.
