Hawke Is Here

I was lucky to work as the stills photographer on this epic Australian project directed by the very talented Emma Freeman. and produced by The Film Company.

Screening on Channel 10 during 2010

As mentioned on SMH.COM.AU

Richard Roxburgh as former PM Bob Hawke, Rachael Blake as Hazel and Asher Keddie as Blanche. If that doesn't get you watching one of the most anticipated telemovies of the year, nothing will. The real Bob Hawke even consulted on the project. Of course he did.


Here are the released stills so far:

No Magazine

Please do yourself a favor and go find a copy of the NZ magazine NO. It's so good. A magazine that you will want to put in your "keep-forever-box".
In this digital age i find is so enjoyable picking up a product made of beautiful stock, skillful design and full of interesting interviews and yes yes PHOTOGRAPHS! I'm a proud traditionalist.

I did a little portrait for this issue of No. It features a couple new to Melbourne the divine John & Bridget .

The Brunettes for Yen Magazine

I was lucky to spend a lovely morning shopping with the sweet-as-pie band The Brunettes. I had to shoot a photo story for Yen Magazine. Check it out on a news stand soon. Jan Edition. We had fun dressing up and walking up & down Crown Street.

NEw Shoots aHoy

It's been a super busy month in the land of photography. December is the land of events, gatherings and last minute publicity shoots . Here are some small snippets.

Recently I teamed up with the amazing stylist Hayley Hughes for this fashion spread.






Last week I did an awesome shoot with the very talented Yana Alana. The shoot is inspired by the film Paper Moon and the old photo studios from the 1950's. The very talented Esther Justin built this moon! Please check out Yana Alana's show at 2010 Midsumma Festival.





The mentioned blog below as kept me rather busy with all things Pure.. The guys at Boag's are throwing a party so please come along:



Pure Goodness

I have been selected as one of 6 photographers from around Australia to produce a photo blog for Life Lounge & Boags beer.

The photographs are inspired by the word Pure. It's an awesome brief and I have lots of pics to upload in the coming weeks. It's worth having a peek.
