International Stock and Commercial Photographer, in the Byron Bay, Lismore, Kingscliff and Ballina Areas
If you are looking for me over the next few weeks you might find me a bit hard to pin down. I am about to head off to Europe to do some photography. I’m meeting up with some great people and have models coming from all over Europe to shoot with. I’ll mostly be in Paris and London with a few side trips. If you need to contact me, just drop me an email from my contacts page or head over to my Facebook page and send me a message. You might as well like it and keep track of my adventures.
Teegan dropped by the studio yesterday to do some face pulling for a series of stock photos. Don’t forget that in addition to wedding photography and stock, I also take portraits. Check out the portraits link above to see details for family portraits and corporate or commercial head shots.
I am still working on my LA photos. Maybe some wedding photography will be posted soon but until then, here’s a cracking great shot of the roller coaster on Santa Monica Pier.
I’m about to completely redo my photography price lists from scratch. Here’s your chance to tell me what you want and how much you want to pay for it. Weddings, portraits, anything – please let me know what you would expect to receive and how much you would expect to pay. Just send me a message from the contacts page or via Facebook.
And as an incentive – the most helpful responder gets a free portrait photoshoot. Also, please go like my page at http://www.facebook.com/DavidFreundPhotography
I’m still working my way through the thousands of images I took while photographing in Los Angeles. Here’s another of a great pair of models down at Santa Monica beach.
Sometimes being a photographer really is all people think it is – pure unmitigated fun. There’s a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to bring together four fabulous models, a dozen classic motorbikes and two massive muscle cars in an empty city block but it was all worth it.
To be honest I couldn’t believe the bikes that turned up – a few Triumphs, BMWs, a couple of Ducattis, a Norton and an Ariel. An Ariel with a sidecar!! I would have loved to have had more time to play with the bikes but the guys were dropping by as a favour and were keen to hit the road. I also had a 56 Chev hotrod and a worked Ford F100 at my disposal in the deserts streets and lane ways of the Lismore CBD – a great location to photograph in.
If you are interested in some fashion photography for your shop or clothing label, or commercial photography of any kind. Drop me a line from my contacts page. I can do a shoot for you that will really make you stand out from your competition.
And for my father. Yes Dad, the pics are meant to be black and white. But here’s a colour one just for you.
In addition to being a wedding photographer, I also photograph a range of things for local Northern NSW businesses. This commercial photography can be anything from product photography in my studio, to location photography or other promotional photography for your businesses. I recently did a 3 day photoshoot at various locations around Ballina, Byron Bay, Lennox Head and outside Lismore for Creative Blinds. It was a great shoot that went super smoothly even though the lighting was particularly tricky.
I regularly shoot commercial images for clients who have decided to have a go at the photography themselves first to save money. The problem is that when they don’t manage to get the shot, they may have wasted significant time trying. I shot one job where the client had tried for 3 solid days to get what they were after. They called me at the last minute to step in and complete it for them. It was a studio shot that I set up, lit, photographed and post processed in under an hour. By trying to save my fee, they wasted 3 days of their own time.
If you are considering the need for some photography to help promote your business, please drop me an email or give me a call.
The nature of the beast means it is often easier to post pictures, new work and what I have been up to on Facebook and Twitter than on my blog. For wedding photography I endeavour to have a couple of wedding photos on Facebook the night of the wedding and a larger set within a couple of days.

I had the chance a few weeks ago to take some unusual wedding photos. It wasn’t a real wedding but some commercial photography of a model in a wedding dress. We jumped in the pool and had some fun. Here’s one of the ‘wedding photographs’, Trash the Dress style.
Wedding photography season doesn’t start for me for another few weeks so I am continuing to work on stock images I took on a recent trip around NSW. Here’s a photograph of the Sydney skyline taken on a stormy evening.
