IAN + ERICK = TUNGSTEN

The second style of shoot during our Bali trip for TIS was much more fashion rather than Lifestyle for their different selection of underwear they have. A black & White approach was taken to emphasise more the sexyness of the line..

The Insanity Spectrum kick start campaign had to be shot in Bali! When we looked at all the logistic, to make something cool there was no other option then to head to Bali. The choice of locations and freedom without rules and regulation was a no brainer. It was 5 days. 1 day scouting and three days of shooting and we spent the last day recovering and saying "what the fuck have we done!!". We were there mainly shooting a video with a very tight schedule. This mean trying to shoot stills in between takes and pushing the limit. All in all models were amazing, it was lots of fun and we got some great stuff! I have always said a great photo is a colaboration of a great team. When you have a great team, magic happens!!!      stand by, Video to come soon.

Brant Garvey is very inspirational! He is one healthy fit guy that is aiming for the Tokyo Olympics. These were shot at the back of a TVC so little or no time given but we made sure that we communicated well with the Director,  DOP and producer to get the best outcome.

Just a little shoot for the people at Nulsen Haven for Meerkats

Courtney is a Triathlete that has competed in the olympics. This time he was on a project of running/climbing the highest peak of each state in Australia part of a Red Bull initiative. I flew to Newman on Friday afternoon to race to the top of Mount Meharry and to depart back to Perth 9.30am on Saturday morning. The drive from the base of Mount Meharry was very four wheel drive!! So much bounce that we got stuck on a rock. Courtney kept on running! He didn't stop! He was like a machine!! After the run, we camped in the ouback watching the stars overhead - Good times.

The beginning of the year saw us taking some photos fo Virtuoso Magazine in New York of the best bars in Perth. Needless to say it was a good assignment!!

Bars:: Petition Bar - The Standard - Ezra Pounds - Helevetica - Sneaky Tony

The guys at Emergence Festival ask us to give a workshop to inspire young photographers this year so we did one on how to handle a photoshoot brief from start to finish! This showed photographers how to  handle the brief, write a treatment, how to brief a stylist and make up artist and work as a team. Then we went out and showed them how we would shoot it.  We only had three hours for the whole thing from start to finish. Above are a few photos from the shoot.

Big thanks to Emergence and in particular Lauren Tricket for the organization. Stylist - Coco Adrian, Make Up and Hair - Michelle and Jess @ Edward Scissorhands, Riversmith for the location and last but not least Camera Electronic for the support, promotion of the event, promo bags and camera gear. Thanks to our talents - Bobbie, Ren and Michael.

In February, it was early mornings and late nights spent in the Swan Valley area to get an erray of photos for Mirvac's new development. The hero shots were the most dificult so to find the right balance of background, light and creativity but in all very rewarding to have pushed ourselves to achieve what we did. Thanks to Juicebox for the vote of confidence!

Last Year we were commisioned to do the photos for the branding of Road Ready for RAC. We sat down with them conveying our feelings regarding the brand and what they needed to understand regarding youth. The shoot was pretty full on with lots of images to achieve during the day but we kept the fun up and the images came out a treat.
