Interview and portrait tips in Digital Photography magazine

The Grates for triple j magazine
I’ve had a few weeks off, getting married in Thailand and whatnot. But it’s time to hop back on the blogging wagon so here’s some clippings from a shoot i did before i left with The Grates for triple j magazine. As soon as Patience did the yelling thing, gnashing her teeth, i knew it was [...]

Sparkadia Drum Cover
Last week a picture i took of Alex from Sparkadia graced the cover of Drum Media. It’s great to work with Alex again, we’ve a long history as i’m pretty sure i took their first ever press shots back in 2005 when they were still called The Spark. The picture they ran inside with the [...]

A new issue of Time Out Sydney is on newstands now featuring a cover shoot i did with renowned patissier Adriano Zumbo. He was a pleasure to shoot and up for anything. A suggestive question of “how many macarons do you think you could fit in your mouth?” lead to the cover shot. A question [...]

Time Out’s Surry Hills cover
Sometimes a magazine cover photo is inspired by a coverline, in this case “The Hills are alive!” which described Time Out Sydney‘s feature on Surry Hills. It ends up being a little tenuous, but the idea was to allude to the classic image of Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, but with a modern [...]
