Photos, Drawings, Thoughts and Tantrums

I am really not the type to flaunt my achievements, but this was a big moment for me, winning the Silver Medal Award at the Malta Photographic Society's National Exhibition 2021 in the Monochrome Projected images category.  This was really important to me, since I proved to myself that I can pre-envisage a photograph. I say this since the original idea of this photo, came around on the very instance I had met the model herself, Eliza, a fantastic & unique Maltese model and hairstylist. In brief, I had shared my wish to photograph her since day one, which was about 6 months prior actually getting down to doing the shoot and submitting the photo for the National Exhibition! The title was kept simple - I wanted to portray Eliza (of IZA) as she is so I thought the best title for this photograph was "SHE"  I hope you like this photograph and you are welcome to comment and or share your thoughts.

Started off the month of September 2021 with a bang!  A sunset bikini photoshoot with the fabulous Isabelle Borg, contestant for the 2021 edition of Miss World Malta . For this shoot we chose the iconic Riviera Martinique or Qarrba beach , which in my opinion is one of the most amazing beaches in the Maltese islands.  I split the shoot in three segments, using different dresses and accessories for the first part of the shoot, then focusing on the bikini segment when we had lower light and the sun was just setting.  You can view some of the photos below or on my Flickr stream .  For photoshoot bookings and enquiries you can contact me via www.wilcam.net Bikini beach shoot - Model : Isabelle Borg | Photography : Wil Camilleri Bikini beach shoot - Model : Isabelle Borg | Photography : Wil Camilleri Bikini beach shoot - Model : Isabelle Borg | Photography : Wil Camilleri Bikini beach shoot - Model : Isabelle Borg | Photography : Wil Camilleri

Last month had the opportunity to work with Lilithia Rose, a Maltese Burlesque performer and model.  The idea of the shoot was a simple 'get to know each other', after the difficulties of doing shoots during partial lockdown. So the approach was to simply go for classic style portraits and a bit of Pin-up style.  Here is a selection of the shoot - looking forward to your comments!    

 I just realised that I have never shared the actual full panel of my MIPP Award in photography qualification.  The base concept of the shoot was motion, for which I opted to use a dancer on a local Maltese beach and capture motion of the dancer herself, water and sand.  Below you will find a full image of all the 20 images of the panel together and also a link to the full album for the individual photos on Flickr .  Click on the image below to view album 

I always try to look for simple subject with which I can create a wow factor, or even better an emotion. Here I 'played' around with a fork and the shadows it creates, which I found fascinating in their simplicity.  All photos available on Picfair and on Redbubble .

Being limited with access to models, I resorted to think of some alternative & fun photography ideas using various objects - one of which was : Fruit.  I played around with a cheeky approach to Fetish Photography, which was not entirely easy when you have only a couple of fruits as models, but the results where the following :  Chained Apple : A cheeky play with BDSM, chains & fetish ideas, whilst using water as the dynamic medium to created movement in the photograph.

Rubbered Apple  : Rubber fetish play with a Green apple and rubber gloves, creating a dark & surreal background for the inconspicuous fruit.   Photograph available on  Picfair  for licensed use &  Red Bubble  for framed prints and other various merchandise.
