What it’s like riding 500km through Thailand, in April. One HOT week (or five days).
Ever wondered what you get for your one hour Editorial photo shoot? Here is a sample from a recent shoot in Port Lincoln.
A fun shoot for Fleurieu Living Magazine Winter 2021 edition.
This past year has seen me spending more time having laughs, oops working, with Chris and Jo from Pen and Palate. We have been working with Foodland on their recipes for the Mighty magazine - a handy free pickup from your local store.
Chris develops the recipes, and on shoot day, Jo is the whizz in the kitchen while Chris and I make gorgeous photos of them. It's always a fun day, jumping on the table or using the tripod in front (something my physio wants me to do more of). Dancing, singing, laughing, eating... it all creates better photos. Surely?
I love to have fun on a shoot - getting great pics while everyone has fun. Win, win.
I have been working with West Beach Parks (formerly Adelaide Shores) for over five years. We have done multiple shoots for the rebrand, when renovations are completed, new accommodation is built, or for a new campaign.
Images: Lifestyle, interiors, exteriors, activities, staff profiles.
Love: The fun involved in photographing kids and adults enjoying the park facilities, especially the pool area where I can get the kids to jump in a number of times.
Not so much love: Making some of the budget, tiny (super skinny and long) bathrooms look inviting. But hey, we did it!
Images are used for a variety of purposes, including website, marketing material, social and corporate.
Some of my fave images from my shoots with West Beach Parks…
Inside, outside, on the deck... a two hour shoot at Pertaringa Cellar Door.
Our 'talent' may have been surprised I wanted to photograph them - but they played along well. It's not hard to look happy while enjoying wine anyway. ;)
Quorn Silo Light Show. Possibly the biggest I've ever seen my images.
Plus, a couple of others on my wander back to the pub to defrost. Quorn is super pretty at night.
A series of images shot through 2020 for Statewide Super campaign.
Images have been used on the web, print, signage, bus and full-length tram wraps.
Non professional talent from heidi who street photos street casting Facebook page.

Told to stay at home, not see friends, work cancelled... being the people person I am, I'd understand if I struggled a little. Or a lot. But one thing kept me aligned during Covid-19. And that is my daily visit to the beach. The place I call my soul home. Where I get fixed.
I always feel refreshed and clear after being at the beach. Surfing, walking, sitting, swimming - it doesn't matter. Saltwater, sea air, sand between the toes, the sound of waves crashing. Preferably with a dose of sunshine.
During Covid-19 'stay at home' time, I went to the beach every day. Mainly walking, some surfing and no swimming. It's cold in April!
I walked a lot and started to look at things closer. The colours, the atmosphere, the patterns, the way things changed each day. The way the sand and rocks change as the tide comes in and out. The objects that are left stranded on the beach. And the evidence of other people reaching for their respite.
I'd return home with a clear mind - ready to tackle my day. Not sitting on the sofa getting bored but working on my business, myself and being the best I can be.
