BULA!

A couple o weeks back, I had the amazing opportunity to work on still and motion content for Fiji Airways through some of my favourite people at FLIPP Management. There was a lot of Fijian pride abuzz all over the island as Fiji were hoping to win their first Olympic medal in the mens rugby sevens. Fast forward a week and it was GOLD for the small island nation! Huge congratulations to the team, and all our Fijian friends we met along the way!

Our trip was a full on few days of running around Nadi Airport but we were super happy with the results, given our small team, logistics and time constraints. The motion piece is below and the stills are up on the Fiji Airways Facebook page...

Fiji is beautiful in many ways, but the friendliness and hospitality of its people is what really sets it apart. Bula vinaka!

barossa...

I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful Barossa Valley last year as part of a job for Lilydale Farms, assisting ledge Sydney photographer Paul Blackmore. Though we were working just outside of Adelaide, a cricket match in the city meant all the hotels were over booked and over priced, leaving us with (sigh) no option but to crash at the Barossa Novotel... When life gives you grapes... ; )

Work it ladies! It's all in the elbow...

we all become silhouettes...

So after a good deal of thought and planning, I've decided to put an exhibition of my photographs out there into the big wide world, care of the wonderful people at Black Listed Gallery in Surry Hills, Sydney.

The exhibition is titled "We All Become Silhouettes" and is a collection of images focussing on shape and form, in surf, snow, skate and the world around us. I'm super excited to be able to share some of my work and see some of my favourite captured moments in beautiful, large-scale, printed form... 

Speaking of fine, printed form, the exhibition will also be proudly supported by the legendary Paul Jarvis at Perth Pro Lab... www.pauljarvis.com.au

The opening night is Tuesday July 8th (from 6pm) and it will run through till the 14th.

Below are just a few of the images that will be showing... 

Hope you enjoy and, if you're in Sydney, you can make it down for a drink and a view!

US road trippin... last stop phoenix...

The US sure can be a fun filled place for a road trip... Earlier in the year I spent about 10 days cruising part of the wild west in celebration of Becky Clark's thirtieth year on the planet... Here's a few highlights from our speedy sojourn... 

Our last couple of days were truly a perfect end to a perfect trip. Some shopping, swimming and one amazing sunset! Adventure of a lifetime!

Enjoy...

 White line fever...

Sunshine and swimmin...

 Rolling hills...

 Perfect palms...

 A lot of laughter...

 And a lot of love...

 Thank you Phoenix!
