I recently had the pleasure of shooting a wedding for Josh & Isabella Elies. Josh had originally contacted me after being badly let down by a previously booked photographer, so my involvement was fairly last minute. Boy I’m glad I did get asked because they were a pleasure to work with, a really fun couple, [...]
Last year I was hired to shoot some portraits for Alison Hepple to be used on the cover of her book Silent Tears, a collection of very personal poetry she had written. The shoot was both simple & complex at the same time in that we only needed one portrait of Alison to use on the [...]
I recently had the privilege and honour of shooting a wedding for a friend of mine, and fellow photographer Glenn Alderson. I always find that I have a few extra butterflies going when preparing to start a wedding shoot, more so than for other types of shoots, but these butterflies often feel different when you [...]
I love these two shots above . Just some candid grabs when we first arrived at the beach. This is Brooklyn’s second time down the beach but this time she seemed much more switched on, and was completely mesmerised with the sounds, smells and sights – oh to be that young and innocent again. It [...]
I have been asked on a number of occasions about what sort of lighting I use at weddings, and how I use it, so I thought I’d umm, shed some light on the matter… I shoot both available light/ambient light images as well as strobed images – it will often depend on the situation, and [...]
I recently had the pleasure of doing a shoot for Sharon Crichton and her company Positive Dog Training. I have been a client of Sharon’s in the past, taking my German Shepherd Maya to two of her 7 week classes covering basic obedience and essential dog training. Her courses and methods, as her business name [...]
It’s that crazy time of the year once again, where everyone slowly but surely begins to go a little (or a lot) stir crazy. I am no exception, and tend to have both feet firmly planted in ‘the lot’ category – why else would I be writing a blog post at midnight when I desperately [...]
The last few weeks have been a bit of a blur for me… as my wife and I have just had our first baby. A little girl – Brooklyn. Man what an amazing time, and I’m only a couple of weeks into it. Above is Emma with her 20 week scans – I was using [...]
Earlier this year I was contacted by Katrina Webb, an ambassador for the Australian Paralympic Committee, to shoot a corporate event that the Australian Paralympic Committee was holding to raise funds and awareness for the 2012 Paralympics in London. As well as being a highly respected and successful motivational speaker and business woman, Katrina has also represented Australia [...]
Earlier this year I had the great pleasure, and honour, of accompanying Joe McNally & his assistant Drew Gurian (along with four other Aussies) on a whirlwind four day photographic trip through parts of Tasmania. You can read more about the whys and wherefores of that trip here. Whilst in Tasmania, and trying to learn [...]
