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 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.

BREMAR AUTOMATION - WEBSITE AND REBRANDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Bremar Automation are an automotive engineering firm based in Melbourne. The companies founder & owner Brett contacted me as he had engaged a design agency to create a brand new website and also manage their online google ad-words, facebook ads and social media campaigns along with much of their online strategy. The problem Brett had was his company did not have any current professional photography to best represent what Bremar does.
This commercial photoshoot took place on location at the companies HQ, working to a brief and plan discussed previously with the web developer and the CEO Brett. There was a specific feel and colour toning that the web developer required so this was added into the brief and shots crafted around this. A half day shoot was scheduled in which i captured photographs of the engineering team working, in meetings and providing training, using their engineering tools, scanners and equipment, and also a few images of the products they have manufactured. We also shot some headshots of the small team and some casual images of them in the warehouse.
The new Bremar Automotive website is Now Live and the visual assets we created will be used for future online marketing and also printed brochures.

“Thanks for the quick turn around on the proofs. Very happy with how things have come out. I’ve forwarded them on to Mark and his response was “spoiled for choice” ”

Benzina Cantina - Bar and Lifestyle Photography
Tequila x Tacos x Benzina
It’s rare that i can eat and drink my subjects but thats exactly what happens every-time i shoot for the fine folk from Benzina Cantina. This Mexican Cantina in the heart of Preston serves up THE BEST Mexican cuisine and drinks this side of Juarez. This shoot consisted of a mixture of lifestyle, food photography and a lot of drink specials ( plus anything else that took my eye).
It’s always a good time shooting for Benzina and definitely worth checking out if you have a thirst for some cocktails and some pesos burning a hole in your wallet.

The Facility - Event Space Photoshoot
The following are a selection of press and promotional images for next years Art Festival Cant Do Tomorrow . This amazing underground space is situated in the Younghusband Wool Building in Kensington. This 100 year old building is full of charm and character, around every corner is the perfect photo opportunity.
The brief given by Kent was to capture the space for the promotion of the Arts Festival as well as capturing images of the space that is rented out for functions, events and art galleries. The rest was left up to me so i got started. Lighting a large dark environment was not without it’s challenges, however with the correct use of studio lights, coloured gels and a haze machine we managed to make some interesting photos in this very dark environment. A few images from the shoot were featured online for the press release of the event on Concrete Playground. https://concreteplayground.com/melbourne/arts-entertainment/cant-do-tomorrow-melbourne

Grimm Industries Automotive Furniture - Product Photography
Product Photography with a touch of attitude
I recently spent some time with Andrew from Grimm Industries at his workshop in Melbourne. Andrew has turned his passion into a business and creates the best V8 coffee tables and automotive inspired furniture in Australia. His finished products use all kinds of engine parts to create furniture such as tables, lamps, seats and some one off specials. It was such a great experience shooting his furniture and giving it a dramatic moody look with the use of multiple studio lights, some coloured gels and some smoke. We didn’t want the typical boring white online store look as this just didn’t gel with the brand and the style of products. The images from this shoot will be used both on the Grimm website and social media channels.

BMW R80 G/S Feature for Motorcycle Trader Magazine
A very cold wet & day was spent at the track back in September capturing images for the October issue of Motorcycle Trader Magazine. This shoot was broken into two parts. Part 1 was to capture images for an editorial documenting a returning rider participating in a riders training course at Broadford State Motorcycle Complex. Magazine editor Chris took park in the rider training on track but he also required images for the feature on his 1986 BMW R80 G/S Paris Dakar and its upgraded suspension. Seeing as though it was a wet and miserable September day we decided to shoot the bike in its natural habitat, off road. Lucky for us the grounds of the Broadford State Motorcycle complex also works as the perfect terrain for an adventure bike shoot.
