Massive week planned

This week is going to be crazy… probably more shooting than I’ve ever done in one week. I’ve got an ad job, a catalogue, a test and a trip to Adelaide. My trigger finger and hard drives are certainly going to get a workout… Red Bull is also packed and ready to roll!

I’m always on the lookout for inspiring clips and images and this youtube clip truly amazed me. I’m sure to wear my seatbelt on the way to my jobs this week after watching this ad campaign:

More blogging real soon… DP.

Excitable

Well… here’s another belated post. It’s been so super crazy in Melbourne of late that I’ve just totally forgotten to post up here on my blog.

New NY resolution. POST MORE BLOGS.

Lots has been happening at my end of the spectrum. Shooting, shooting and more shooting. I’ve got a new website underway with the thanks of Lars in Perth – should be an amazing creation and I’m excited for that in the next month or so. I’ve also just locked in to a studio in North Melbourne… so I’ll be now shooting from StudioGlow which is just off Arden St. It’s a fantastic little complex and I’m super pumped to move in!

Since the last post I’ve been interstate more than home here in Melbourne, but I’m settled back in for a while now which is nice. Plenty of folio work still happening and my book is starting to resemble how I picture it! Met some amazing people lately, so I hope I can push myself that little bit further with every campaign/shoot/test. I’ll follow this post up with some recent shoots, and if I forget to post here on my blog – attack me via email/twitter/facebook and tell me I’m not working hard enough.

So this post was more about being happy with how things are rolling. Stoked even. See you round the traps!

Help Portrait Event

Just thought I’d share this amazing project with you guys… It’s amazing how a photograph can make people feel so different. God I love my job.

Right, I’m off to go take some pictures!

New York New York

Da da daa da da.

I’ve realised only in the last couple of days that I haven’t posted up any of the final shots from the New York shoot yet! I’ve been all over the place, so it slipped my mind to share all the location shots from the Big Apple… So here’s the final images from the range in no particular order:

I’ll post up some of my favourite ‘around town’ shots this week as well – stay tuned!

Magazines – we are we going with them?

Great little video by photographer Alexx Henry about the oncoming technology in magazines… exciting times ahead by the looks!

Canon 1D Mark 4

New cameras are coming out all the time and keeping up with new technology is fast becoming impossible! I’m definitely going to have a play with this camera at some stage, especially with it’s video and high ISO capabilities… I might even end up with one in my bag – you never know ;)

Check this video out by Vicent Laforet. Yep, he’s done it again… an amazing creative.

More posts to come this week – realised I haven’t been on this for a while!

Very funny…

I’m not a big one for posting stuff like this, but hey – this is one funny clip. “How to conduct yourself when gaining a photo assignment” is the title.

Excuse the swearing!

Globalize Summer Catalogue

SO it’s coming to that time of the year again when shorts and singlets are out, and people are thinking about the dreaded C word. Yep, that’s right… Christmas. It definitely gets busy around this time of year…

Just before I headed to NY, the Globalize crew got together in Melbourne and we shot their Summer Catalogue. Some great product this season, so it made my job a lot easier! Check out their website at globalize.com.au for store locations… catalogues should be Oz wide by now so check them out if you get a chance!

Here’s just a couple of images from the shoot:

Country Clubs Shoot

Just a couple of quick shots from my Country Clubs shoot from a few weeks ago – we had great weather for a winter week and took full advantage of it!

Country Clubs run two golf course locations and three hotels around SA, and you can find their details on their website here… check out the site when you’ve got a chance for more of my stuff from the shoot!

I’ll be definitely heading to one of the courses next time I’m in Adelaide – they should be in amazing nick in the next couple of months.

Here’s just a couple of shots from our shoot:

Ryders sneak preview

Hey crew,

I’ve just finished retouching a job for Ryders Sunglasses @ www.ryderseyewear.com.au for some new point of sale material. We headed out to Northern Golf Club for a 5.30am start and had the fingers crossed for some beautiful weather… Our talent was pro golfer Matt Docking who is on DTR Sports Management’s list and going superbly at the moment.  Matt was a true sport and came straight from the airport after an overnight flight from Perth – lucky it was a sunglass shoot so his tired eyes weren’t seen!

I can’t let out the shots just yet – but you can see a few behind the scenes pics taken by my brilliant assistant Arnaud Domage who is a great cycling photographer. I’ll post up the final pics in a few weeks time when the shots are launched by Ryders and their crew!
