If you are in to photography at any level, I’m guessing you’ve thought this at least once, or 300 times. Maybe it was a long time ago and now you know exactly how it works and exactly how going up two stops is going to affect the next image you capture. But, out of the 3 main settings, aperture is definitely the more confusing one to get your head around. I know that thought has crossed my mind a few times. I’ve studied photography, read text books and internet tutorials and been shooting for about 12 years now and as a beginner, I couldn’t find a text book, article or…

Blunt Barbers
“Hey bro! You want a beer??” That’s Kenny, the owner of Blunt Barbers in West Footscray. His chair is positioned right at the front door so he can great everyone as they walk in with his smile and offer of a drink, no matter what time of day it is.

Street Art
Melbourne has always been known for its street art. I hadn’t explored the street art scene until just recently. Its obvious there are some amazingly talented artists out there and it is great to see that being recognised by councils. Commissioning some of these artists to display their work, pay them for it and not see them as vandals. But the vandals are still out there. Whilst I was blown away to see the skill and talent of these artists at the same time I was annoyed to see that their work had been vandalised by pathetic, terrible looking “tags” that just do not belong. To the artists out there,…

Off the Grid
Over the Christmas holidays I was able to get away, hit the road with my cameras, my tent, some firewood and no plans. Half the time I had no phone reception or direct connection to the world of technology which in itself was amazingly refreshing.

The Willis Family
I recently had the privilege of capturing some images for the Willis family. The grandparents were there and also their 2 adorable little girls. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.
