THE NATURAL DISTILLING CO - GIN & VODKA PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Local distilling company The Natural Distilling Co approached me earlier this year to create some fresh imagery for their brand. The brief was to create some eye capturing imagery for use on their website and social media accounts. The shoot was more about their product being used in the real world with drinks and cocktails rather than static e-commerce style images on a white backdrop ( the brand already had that content).
We set up the shoot to take place at a bar that one of the co-owners runs which would give us the perfect mix of outdoor and indoor settings. I do love having the client/business owners on board during a shoot as everyone can give their input and help shape the look and feel of what we capture. I used a tethered capture straight to my laptop for this shoot so the clients could see immediately what the photos looked like and make any changes to the styling or set on the fly. Working this way always guarantees client satisfaction and makes sure we are creating exactly what they require to meet the brief.
The client came away with many months worth of new social media and website content from just a half day photoshoot. We already have plans for the next on location photoshoot which will involve heading to country Victoria to capture the farm where the hemp gin/vodka is not only harvested but distilled and bottled. I’m very much looking forward to the next planned shoot as soon as Covid restrictions ease and we can get back to work.

“The first lot of edited images you sent through looked amazing mate, great work. A big thanks for moving so quickly on all of this. We are all super happy with the results of last weeks shoot and very much look forward to working with you again.”
“These are bloody great, and the ones you sent through edited are smick, well done!”
Avalon International Airshow 2019
The Australian International Airshow 2019
Every 2 years the Airshow rolls into town. I hadn’t been since 2015 so it was great to visit again. Although the weather was a stinking hot 39 degree i managed to snap a few photos of the action from the day. Was great to see the legendary F22 Raptor in action alongside the RAAF’s latest addition to its fleet the F35.

Saint Side 10 year Street Party
10th Annual Saint Side Show and Shine
The John St Show and Shine street party just keeps getting bigger and better every year. Held once annually the Show & Shine is a celebration of custom bicycles spanning a 100-metre strip mall in the Melbourne suburb of St Albans. Also including a car show focusing on the best of Americana, west coast, custom and vintage lifestyles, the event is a truly unique and well-loved day in the west.
I have loved seeing how each year the event has evolved to become bigger and better just like the S/S brand. I recently looked back at the photos i shot at the 1st Saint Side Show and Shine back in 2010. Needless to say my photos were pretty rubbish haha.
Although i processed most the photos from the day in colour i decided to redo the whole set in Black & White for a change. I hope you enjoy.

Big Shot Van - Launch Party
Mobile Coffee Truck and Bar ‘ BIG SHOT’ launch Party and event coverage
The Big Shot Van is my little brothers latest business venture with his good friend Mike. On Sunday the 2nd December the official launch party at Benzina Cantina in Preston took place with a crowd of friends and family.
The van itself is a 1969 Citroen HY Van that has been painstakingly restored and fitted with an amazing interior fit-out. The boys bring a unique Melbourne café experience to you, providing top quality coffee and tasty treats, and also offering an exclusive bar service tailored to suit any kind of special event. It’s been a long journey for Chris and Mike to get the van from idea to finished product but the fruits of their labour all came together when the van “Bernie” was on display for all to see.
I was on hand for the launch day drinking the delicious Espresso Martinis that the boys had prepared and managed to snap a few shots.
For more information on the van and the services Big Shot Van can provide for events click the link below.
