Amazing exposure and response to "All the Wild Horses' Andrew McGibbon Photography

This Tuesday I opened my first solo photographic exhibition - 'All the Wild Horses'
There was a great turn out and two big peices sold! The show is open for another 3 weeks at the 'Fat Tuesday' art gallery in Kloof.

Here are some pics of the opening (Credit - Tyler Dolan) as well as some samples of the images themselves.

Two week wrap up! By Andrew McGibbon

It's been an awesome two weeks of shooting and we even got to squeeze in a weekend at the berg over the freakishly cold weather spell. It was a well-needed rest with friends. Not to many swim shorts were worn and one too many bottles of whisky got consumed - Could’ve been worse. Besides the time away we have been shooting a bunch of interesting stuff, including a promo series for a local strongman / power lifter - Rory. I thought about showing him how much I could bench press but figured I didn't want to show off.

 













 

 

My Dreamscape series has also been progressing slowly. When I have a gap, I like trying to get another one done. All the kids have been photographed with the trampoline, but each one needs a specific location and re-touching... that takes time!

 









Another really cool thing we did which is not usual for us is a family portrait! My good friends, Cati and Ash have recently adopted a little boy - Jackson... He is awesome and I'm pretty sure I am his favourite.
They wanted to do a portrait to mark his one year birthday... We got one shot of him co-operating and then did another one when we let him set the mood. I really love these shots.

 





 

Some big stuff has been on the go with me behind the scenes in the Durban advertising agency world. I can't reveal much until the campaign has been launched but here's two test shots of one of Durban's freshest and coolest Art director/copywriter teams - Dylon and Tyron.





 

 

And lastly... In my younger days I used to do a lot of oil paintings (one every two years or so) and I have recently got a chance to do one for a client.
Again, I won't say much about it besides it's for an album cover and I am painting in the impressionist style. It's been REALLY great to pull out the old oils and brushes again.
