Mr Paparazzi and the gang!

Yesterday was a great day! Day Three of the Breakaway saw Darryn Lyons take us out on a trash-the-dress photoshoot where ‘brides’ (read models) wear a wedding dress and spend their time rolling around, doing their best to look sexy and trash the dress!  Darryn was great, getting the girls to sex it up.

After, he spoke to us for two hours, speaking of his history in photography, from his beginnings in Geelong through to his current plans in business and the way forward.  This shot was taken after his talk, sitting on his Lamborgini XT.  From left to right – Suzette Nesire (my mentor), me, Darryn and my wife Rebecca.  I don’t know who has worse hair – me or Darryn! 

Seriously though, he is a lovely guy, and seemingly has time for everyone.  In fact, I caught him as he was leaving and we chatted for about 10 minutes one-on-one.  As he spoke in his room, I couldn’t help but see a fantastic opportunity for a portrait.  So once the conversation had finished, I asked him.  You’ll find out soon what he said…
