The Man On The Motorcycle: Romain

Whilst visiting Sydney recently I was watching an incredible sunset with a friend from a popular lookout above Vaucluse when this guy pulled up next to us. Photographers dream of these moments.

Rayban sunnies, leather jacket, classic Triumph motorcycle and style for dayyyyyyys!

I had no hesitation in quickly heading over and asking to shoot his portrait in the incredible sunset lighting and he was super obliging. Turns out Romain was from France, working in Bondi and wanted to build his modelling portfolio! Sadly I wasn't in Sydney long enough to shoot something planned, but pretty happy with how these impromptu shots came out.

Thanks for your time Romain!

Rascal: Photography for Kerryn Fields Debut Album

Kerryn and I have known each other for many years and it has been so awesome being able to catch up with her since I moved to Melbourne a few years ago. She is an incredibly talented musician and when she asked me to create the artwork for her debut album Rascal, of course I said YES!

 "Kerryn fields is a country & roots musician with a huge personality and a striking voice. 

She is an artist that draws you into her story.

Her debut album 'Rascal' has a distincitve sound and full bodied heart, 

resonating with the sounds of Tracey Chapman and KD Lang."

The finished album:

Goone Tribe Creations

I met Alex, the talented artist of Goone Tribe Creations at a festival in 2014. Recently we spent an afternoon photographing some of his amazing work down on the Mornington Peninsula where he is based. Every piece is hand crafted, unique and gorgeously detailed in a variety of quality leather and fixings. Absolutely gorgeous pieces, perfect for doofing all day!

Sweat, Dust & Bass: Tanglewood Festival

Tanglewood Festival was held over New Years 2015/2016 in Northern Victoria, about 2hrs drive from where I live in Melbourne. Run by the French Fest Crew, this was their first time at this new location, and I was stoked to be one of their official photographers as I'm keen to experience a few Australian Festivals whilst I live here, this one being my 3rd. I have posted the whole collection of photos from this event on my Facebook Page.. but here is some quick highlights for the sake of keeping my blog updated with all my photographic exploits...

Set pretty far back from the main road, and surrounded by hills, a billabong and eucalyptus forest, it was a very Australian scene, and just to add to that, it was SCORCHING HOT!

I could go on about it all, but the photos here and on my Facebook Page are pretty self explanatory: epic music, beautiful people, dancing, laughing, new friends, great outfits, starry skies, unexpected conversations, laser lights, unique artworks, sweat, dust, and bass. A pretty rad event to celebrate the end of 2015!

Thanks to the organisers and to all the lovely people I met at Tanglewood!
