CITY MX - MELBOURNES NEWEST MX TRACK
Had the pleasure of heading out to to Melbourne's newest MX track yesterday CityMx and had a ride of their Intermediate and Main track. The team have built a great complex thats so close to Melbournes CBD. As my photography skills are much better than my motocross riding skills i swapped out my Husky for the Nikon and shot a few of the riders later in the day.
I'm really looking forward to riding here again.

Off Road Motorcycle Rider - Studio Portrait Photography
To keep myself productive and scratch that creative photography itch during Melbournes recent lockdown i've spent much of my time experimenting in my home studio practicing new lighting and gel setups. As with my Yamaha R1 Portrait shoot i got geared up and jumped in front of the lens to create these images. It is always a challenge setting up the scene, lights, gels and then hitting that camera self timer , running into position, posing, being in focus and also getting the smoke machine working all at the same time.
I'm glad that most the time all of these elements lined up and i'm excited with the final visuals. Here are the final edited photos.
Scroll down for a very short behind the scenes video from this shoot for an insight into how i achieved these images.

WILDERNESS WEAR - LOCATION LIFESTYLE BASED PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Capturing unique imagery for an outdoor brand with a lifestyle photoshoot in the Victorian countryside
Back in May the marketing team from WildernessWear got in touch to create some new imagery for their many products for social media and their website. Wilderness Wear are an Australian owned company that manufactures their products right here in inner Melbourne. Bringing the finest merino wool socks, undergarments and outdoor clothing to market since 1989. After briefing by the client a date and location was chosen with the marketing manager, Jonathan from Three Peaks Digital, and we headed with a small team up to the stunning Mt Macedon about and hours drive north of Melbourne.
For these images we really wanted to capture the product being used in its intended environment, the Aussie outdoors, so this beautiful part of Victoria was the perfect backdrop for us. Having the marketing manager on this shoot was not only fun but gave us the chance to create exactly what kind of imagery he required to best represent the brand online. Having him on hand to review the images on the fly made the day run smoothly as we nailed every shot, location and product.
Wilderness Wear is a brand i really stand behind and love working with as their products are excellent ( I’m wearing their merino socks as i’m typing this). I’m really looking forward to our next shoot together on location wherever that may take us.

“We loved working with Alex on the WW product shoot. The images captured met the brief and more. Alex’s creativity really shone through and his understanding of imagery requirements across websites, social media etc. plus his quick turnaround time meant we’ll definitely be using his services for future product range shoots.”
THE TIPPLERS BAR - PROMOTIONAL PHOTOSHOOT
Capturing quality imagery for your small business
The following are some images I created from a shoot with a local mobile service, The Tipplers Bar. This shoot took place at a very small gathering of 15 people for a private 40th birthday in a garage. Tipplers had no visual assets yet as this was their first gig so i was hired to shoot some content for them on the night. The shooting space and conditions were very difficult as ambient lighting was next to non existent and there was a large ugly garage door behind the bar. Only a handful of people at the bar at any one time so we really had to give the sense of a busy bar style environment. I am happy that we managed to come away with some moody, punchy and interesting images showing off what the Tipplers Bar staff and team bring to each event.

Historic Sidecar Racers - Promotional Sponsor Portrait Photoshoot
Michelle and Julie are two badass local sidecar racers who compete in the historic P3 class on their hand built Norton Atlas P3 sidecar. I had previously shot this Norton Sidecar for Michelle and husband Tim few years before and was excited when Michelle contacted me again late last year for another shoot.
Below are some of my favourite shots from this shoot. Head over to the Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works page to check out Tim and Michelles latest work. Im looking forward to shooting 2 more of their bike builds later this month.

The Bad Girls of Rock - Cash Band Photoshoot
Band Photography
Band photography is not normally what i shoot but was a very welcome and fun change. I happened to find myself as an extra in a rock bands music video clip and while waiting around i decided to shoot some behind the scenes stills. What started as BTS photos then become more or less a promotional photoshoot for the all girl Rock band Cash who absolutely shred on stage, these girls are so talented and was a pleasure to watch them perform.
A big thanks to Dillon who was the cinematographer and brains behind the creative setups and lighting on the day. Great to see him work in a different medium compared to the stills photography i’m used to. Check out his showreel below.
