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.

Shark & Airoh Motorcycle Helmets- Product Photography
Product photography captured in my studio during Melbournes 3 month lockdown. I thought id keep productive during this downtime so it was the perfect time to try some new techniques and ideas that were swirling around my head, what better subject to shoot than some of my favourite helmets.

ENDURO ROLLFORMER- INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
I was contacted by John from Dialogue Visual Communication to be a part of a commercial photoshoot for one of his clients. The product to photograph was a very large industrial piece of machinery, not something i would normally shoot but i was up for the challenge.
The machine itself turns rolls of sheet metal into framing for use in the construction industry, namely metal framing for houses and buildings. The machines manufacturer ‘Enduro’ is a subsidiary of a much larger parent company, Blue Scope Steel Australia. The client required images of their new machine for use on their website, brochures and also marketing materials both printed and online. To light such a large complex object I used a mix of both studio flash and also LED light painting techniques to make the machine pop from the cluttered background and the rest of the warehouse. Working closely with John and the ‘Enduro’ sales team on site we spent a few hours creating images and nailed the brief. Below are a few samples that we came away with.

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.
