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.

BMW R Nine T Stunt Photoshoot
Sunset shoot with BMW Sponsored Stunt Rider ‘Lukey Luke’
Last week i had the pleasure of shooting with Australia’s top Stunt Rider and all round legend Lukey Luke. Luke recently signed on with BMW Motorrad as their Stunt Rider and brand ambassador a first of their kind in Australia. So naturally we headed out to capture some images of Luke doing what he does for his new branding. Featured here is the brand new BMW R Nine T ‘Racer’ being put through its paces and doing things it was never designed to do.
I’m excited that these images are going to be featured in the official BMW Motorrad Australia press release and marketing material. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone as extremely talented as Luke as he makes getting that shot so easy, once he gets his BMW F800R Stunt Bike finished we will be bringing you some more great shots.

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.
2018 Geelong Revival - Motoring Festival
2018 GEELONG REVIVAL
Last Sunday the annual Geelong Revival Motoring festival was held at the Geelong Foreshore. Ive been meaning to check this event out for a few years now and finally had the opportunity. What an amazing event held in such a picturesque part of Geelong. The relaxed vibe and smell of fuel and rubber created a great atmosphere for young and old.
The mix of eclectic classic and modern cars and bikes really make the event what is is. I will definitely be back again next year.
In the mean time here are a handful of snaps from the days sprints.
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Photoshoot
Dean’s 1967 Chev Camaro 454 ‘Big Block’
Deans 1967 Camaro has been a labour of love. He has owned the car for 10 years and has slowly turned it into the beast it now is. A stroked out 454 cubic inch big block that looks as clean as it runs. Make no mistake this is a pure street car that gets driven regularly and is no show pony, This Camaro has so much torque on tap i’ve never experienced a proper big block before and was not disappointed. Once the fat rear tyres stop spinning and find some traction it just rocket-ships down the road at an alarming rate. Its just a mental, angry, brutish and loud car and i absolutely love it.
We started the shoot in the late afternoon to get some of that beautiful golden hour lighting in the backstreets. After that we headed back to a location for some light painting images to really make the car pop. Total shoot time was around 5 hours with a further 8+ hours spent on post processing

Norton Sidecar Photoshoot
1962 NORTON ATLAS SIDECAR PHOTOSHOOT
This hand built 1962 750cc Norton Atlas Side Car is built, owned and raced by Tim from Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works. Tim is an amazing craftsman and his workshop is full of customers custom side car and race bike projects.
This husband and wife team race regularly in the Australian classic sidecar championship and theres no doubt this bike is the best looking in the field.
Tim contacted me earlier this year about a shoot of this particular machine however we had to wait a few months to arrange a time as the bike had several races interstate. On this particular shoot we spent a few hours outside at one of my favourite locations soaking up the golden hour lighting for some more natural light photography. When the sun ducked down over the horizon we then headed back to the studio for the indoor shots.
Keep an eye out for this sidecar as it will be racing the Shannons Southern Classic on the 3rd and 4th November 2018 at Broadford and the Australian Historic Road Racing Championship on the 9th-11th again at Broadford.
