I did a recent road trip down to Bright in Victoria. It is such a pretty place to visit in Autumn. I did some fantastic walks up through the pine plantations, and looked down over the whole town with views over to Mystic Mountain and Mt Buffalo.

All photos are for sale.

Lindsay Martin is not only an accomplished violinist, but he is also a talented sound engineer with his own recording studio called “The Laundry”. He invited me along to his studio to photograph him playing his violin and to grab some shots of him in the recording studio where he has recorded or mixed albums for many bands.

Here are a few of the shots we took.

We have begun working on some educational films for the new Royal North Shore Hospital Birth Unit. We had a great day of filming, with a fun team of people.

Here are some pics of the day by my assistant Rose Mastroianni.

Singer/songwriter LEO, aka Lucy Mills (watch clip we made previously here), popped into the studio recently to have some portraits taken. We played with various backdrops and lighting and these shots are the results of that.

Thanks LEO!

I had the pleasure of working with Wollongong singer/songwriter Lucy Mills, aka LEO on her official clip for her new single “Let Her Go”.

This was a lot of fun to make – watching Lucy squirm in the cold water!

It was filmed and edited by your truly.

Enjoy watching!

Working on this film project for Wollongong art Gallery, Project Contemporary Artspace, was a great experience. Emma Burrows – Project’s Vice President, was a pleasure to interview and their events were diverse and interesting to attend.

This clip gives tips on things to consider when exhibiting with them.
