Shoot Breakdown - Xanetia Sunset Shoot 2
My third shoot of the year and second with Xanetia. I returned to Brighton Beach which I'd used at the end of March 2022 on a shoot with Maddy but I had messed up the sunset time and got there just as the sun was hitting the water so it was all a bit rushed.I really like the location though and ...
Shoot Breakdown - Xanetia Sunset Shoot
I generally only shoot over interstate con weekends, either at the event or side shoots at the hotel. Interstate location shoots are just too difficult given the logistics involved, in finding a location in a city I don't know well and the effort of getting around with my disability plus the con...
ThatGypsyGeek
Finally getting around the process my shoots with @thatgypsygeek in Perth July 2022 while there for Supanova. We shot a Daphne from Scooby Doo and MJ from Spiderman both of which we stripped down to lingerie versions. One of the few benefits to being disabled is that the hotel rooms you get are much...

Back to Perth
I know its been a bit quiet here the last year. I do basically all of these shoot interstate so all the cancelled events really hit hard.I was recently in Perth for the first time in 3 years and caught up with some of my fav people and did 5 side shoots including this one with Ellie Christina.
Lets try that again!
I posted the top image to the Goldnova gallery yesterday (and Instagram) and today every time I saw my feed I had an uneasy feeling, I really like the image but the colours hadn't turned out as planned. I had processed the image twice for the original making the colour temperature really cool, t...
Neon City (02) - Behind the Scenes
A couple of quick BTS shots from the Neon City shoot. We were shooting in a relatively small apartment on the Gold Coast where I had setup in the lounge, initially in front of the of the balcony doors. The problem with this soon became apparent. As you can see with this test shot below, they reflect...
Neon City (01)
Did a gelled shoot with Dragonjerky Cosplay and Hedgeknight over the Supanova Weekend up on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Since its Dragonjerky's birthday today I thought we'd start with a shot of her. More to come.
Immoral Kombat 2021 - Shoot Beakdown
I first met Mema in January of 2015 at Follow the White Rabbit, an art exhibition, inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I was there shooting and she mentioned she was looking for someone to do promo photos for her upcoming Fringe show. Back then it was Bazinga that just incorporated pop c...

Psylocke - Shoot Breakdown
IntroductionI often think about how much time I spend talking about and planning shoots in comparison to how many shoots I actually do. My declining mobility is a reason I blame to constantly put off or delay, knowing full well my condition will only get worse. This shoot is a perfect case in point,...
Supanova Melbourne Setup
A wide-shot of the setup at Melbourne Supanova which shows the new 6x3 meter purple material backdrop. We were using 2.8m paper rolls but after a tour (two shows) they were disposed of (or given to a local photographer). This was obviously a recurring cost for the organisation so we looked at a reus...
Melbourne Supanova 2020 Logistical Review
Melbourne Supanova was a tough weekend were everything seemed to be going wrong. Flight over was delayed taking off, the usual just over 1 hour flight to Melbourne lasted 2 and a half hours meaning we were getting in after the hotel check-in cut off which we quickly had to organise upon landing, the...

My friends at Immoral Kombat have their Adelaide Fringe burlesque show on again this year with many new performers so we needed to make a host of new 'Fight' cards which are shown on screen before each pair up.We had to shoot them outside the venue over 4 hours, going from bright sunshine to...
Ms Zorel Gelled
From a fitness shoot a couple of years ago, I'm currently looking for a model to do a continuation of this lighting setup
Skin Colour Quick Fix
I've shown this before but it is such a quick and easy fix I use it a lot. I've been processing more shots from PAX and face/body takes a real battering over a con day and by the time I photograph is its not always looking even with smudges and patchiness.So what I do is Create a new layer a...

Unreleased Shot from 2017
During a shoot you take a lot of photos, years later when going back through the RAWs it amazing me the shots I discover I didn't process at the time like this one of Twerkin Gherkin taking during our shoot at the Queensland Air Museum in 2017https://www.facebook.com/TwerkinGherkin/
