I spent the first hour this morning trying to capture the finer details, movements and textures of waves.
It was my first attempt with a longer lens - Tamron 70-200, f/2.8 - in the water. All sealed up in my Liquid Eye water-housing. I’m very excited to experiment more with this combo.

Catalogue and e-commerce studio shoot for Rolla’s Jeans Womens Collection.
Melbourne based denim brand Rolla’s Jeans needed a fairly straight forward, white wall e-commerce studio shoot. What was enjoyable about it was being able to inject a bit more attitude and character into the models poses which gives for a really strong overall look.
Catalogue and e-commerce studio photography work for Bubba Cloud.
“All Bubba Cloud's and Covers are designed in Currumbin QLD. Each Cloud is made from 100% cotton, filled with natural corn fibre and wrapped in a handmade natural linen cover.
The Cloud's are suitable for babies 0-12 months. The Cloud may last them even longer, depending on their size. Padded all the way around, the Cloud provides a comforting place for bub to lounge.
Let bub lay back, relax and lounge in comfort and style, supervised lounging at home, take it to the beach, picnic in the park, travelling around, tummy time on the play matt... we believe it really is the most versatile and useful baby item you will buy. “
Now for something a little different. With global travel out the window, being immobilised to one place has opened up different photographic avenues and offered interesting new challenges. Like when local brand @louv_kind approached me to shoot their sustainable intimates collection.
At a time when employment is tough, I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to work and be challenged to shoot in different styles.
Here’s a few selects of their new Eucalyptus, plant dyed fabric as modelled by @tamaralandon.
I was lucky enough to be invited to document two icons in @mfanno and Bob McTavish ( @mctavishsurf ) collaborating on a 70’s inspired ‘Blue Bird’ single fin and pumping Lennox Heads.
Bob’s enthusiasm and craftsmanship was finely complimented by Mick’s incredible ability for a pretty special display of surfing which transcended the decades.
Thanks for having me along for the ride @fcs_surf
I’m honoured to have my words and images grace the pages of @whitehorsesmag issue 33 from a camping trip I did to Namibia back in 2018.

Support print media. Issue 33 is out today and full of many amazing photographers and wordsmiths who I admire.
Afternoons of forced creativity - slowing shutters speeds down.
With Burleigh Heads being my local break, i’m spoiled with great wave formations. I wanted to play around with long exposure / slow shutter photography and with the waves being as good as they have been, my opportunity had arrived. Shooting slow shutter can be extremely frustrating but also rewarding simply because your strike rate for a great shot is so low. The goal is always to keep one part of the wave/subject pin sharp whilst everything else is moving around it. I still haven’t nailed it here, but I do love the effect.
