You know the drill, stayed up until 2am, woke up at 5am and headed to the beach to test out some new techniques. Still not really happy with my landscape shots, still learning the tricks of the trade and alot of it is trial and error. I’m making progress though.

Haven’t shot many cars before but had a mess around on the weekend with a Nissan Skyline GTR and Mazda RX7.

Spent Saturday afternoon chilling with Keys and watching him rap to You Tube tracks.

Two days of sunrises with little sleep. Headed down to Bondi for the sunrise this morning.

Did some test shooting a few days ago with a new team including Make up, Hair and a Stylist. Was abit of a mess around to see if we all got along well and we did, so we’ll be planning some amazing shoots in the next few months.

Make up: Samantha Symonds

Hair: Janelle McLauchlan

Sylist: Kiara Reynolds

Messed around with some different techniques for sunrise this morning, still a long way to go before i start nailing them.

January was cool, started off my photography year by snapping a sunrise at Bondi Beach. Knocked out a few sunrises, one of the best sunsets over Sydney in a long time, Immortal Technique on Triple j, a Wedding, two videos for Sydney based rapper Sky High, the Golden Era fam (Hilltop Hoods, Funkoars, Briggs and Vents 1) on Triple J, Pharaohe Monch/Jean Grae/GZA in concert, Billy Ocean and UB40 in concert, a few fitness shoots, a few girl shoots, press shots for Ministry of Sound affiliate DJ Venuto, Immortal Technique in concert, shots of amazing artist AlaParedes for www.thslfe.com, a spread for Inked Magazine with Inner Vision tattoo studio, the new website pics for the strip club Bada Bing and i caught the back of Tyler the Creator after i pulled my camera out too late haha..Still have to hold back on alot of my work from Jan because most hasn’t been released by each client yet but should be up in the next few months.

Been trying to shoot some ‘happier’ photos lately instead of street stuff and vagabonds. Caught up with a sweet team on a lazy Sunday for an impromptu studio session. Fun day and the team nailed it with no prep.

Sneakers, beer, batman, nice light and a scantily clad young lady..

Shot Mateja yesterday at my house. Mateja is one of the coolest cats i know and her eyes are awesome. No need for words, just look at the pic’s.

Insert generic comment about how I only slept 3 hours, am testing new techniques and how i dont really like these photo’s.

So the inaugural Golden Era cypher on Triple J with Hau went down tonight with Hilltop Hoods, Funkoars, Briggs, Adfu and half of Vents 1. Was abit of  a zoo with people everywhere but did what i could to capture the madness.

Next up in my travel series is South Africa. I went to South Africa last year for a wedding in the mountains. Easily one of my favourite countries in the world and got to cross swimming with Great White Sharks and being a few metres away from a fully grown African Lion off the bucket list. Had the best hosts in the world and was well looked after. Spent alot of time on the road, I didn’t spend more than two nights in the same bed for a few weeks. Trying to head back again at some point this year.

Caught up with DJ Sarah Love from the U.K, just before she left Sydney for Singapore. Got some shot’s innit.

Did three shoots today and ended it with some chilled out Reggae at a packed out State Theatre. Good times chilling out to music i grew up on and a good change from hip hop shows with ego’s and fights..Although one older lady did bum rush the stage haha.

Shot the talented illustrator Ala Paredes the other day for an interview coming soon on www.thslfe.com

You can check out more of her stuff at http://alaillustration.com/

Did a quick shoot for D.J Venuto last week for some new press shots. Look out for his new single dropping on Ministry of Sound.

Another 5am wake up after 4 hours sleep. Headed down to the beach for a sunrise. Was really windy and the swell was up so conditions weren’t exactly ideal. I did what i could.
