Biker Girls Fashion Photography in Lismore

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.


Special thanks goes to the members of the Northern Rivers Classic Motorcycle Club, Wal & Bianca and Andrew.

And for my father. Yes Dad, the pics are meant to be black and white. But here’s a colour one just for you.

Commercial and Business Photography in Northern NSW

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.

Great Engagement Photoshoot in Lismore

When Katie and Jamie arrived for their engagement photoshoot, I knew they’d be nervous. Katie had told me previously that they didn’t have any good photos together. Guess what? They do now.

We had a great, relaxed time taking their photos in a Lismore park. No stiff posing, no cheesy mugging for the camera. Just really good, laid back fun and laughs.

Getting your photo or portrait taken should never be a scary thing. It should be a wonderful experience. By doing an engagement photoshoot before your wedding, you get to avoid Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates and find out exactly what you’re going to get (see what I did there Jamie, that’s for you).

Super Special Portrait Photography of Wonderful People

A few weeks ago I got to take some very special portraits of some very special people.

When my parents come to town I normally grab them to model for me to take some stock photography of ‘seniors’. This time I decided to do something a bit different.

It’s important to me to continue to learn and grow as a photographer and I have been studying some innovative portrait photography techniques that initiate displays of genuine emotion. No instructions to “stand there and smile”. I used these techniques on Mum and Dad and they took us to a wonderful place.

This ended up being one of the most enjoyable photoshoots I have done in ages. I loved doing it, I love them and the love they have for each other is clearly evident in the pictures. Here’s a slideshow of a bunch of images from the photoshoot.

Free Professional Photography. Interested? Read On.

How would you like to have some professional portrait photography at a price to good to resist – free?

Photographs like the ones below:


Here’s the deal. We do a photoshoot, you get a disc of images to print for your own personal use. In return you will be my ‘models’. Your modelling fee is paid with the disc of images. You’ll get a selection of images that are Photoshopped for me to use as stock photography.

I am one of Australia’s best selling stock photographers – stock photography are images I take speculatively and then put into stock libraries to sell to third party users – and I am on the lookout for more models. Individuals are good, couples are great, families even better.

It’s a fun and relaxed photoshoot. You’ll probably just be doing things you would do normally. Logos, images and artwork on clothes are a big no no in stock photography so you’ll need to wear simple and plain clothing.

Interested in finding out more, just go to my contacts page and send me a message.

Northern NSW Commercial Photography

Wedding photography season is over for me for the year so I am doing all kinds of other photographic work. Yesterday saw me all over Northern NSW heading out from Lismore photograph trucks from Kyogle to Murwillumbah. Here’s a quick pic of the two trucks in question.

Lismore and Ballina Beach Wedding Photography

Last weekend I had the massive honour of being the wedding photographer for Amanda and James. In the past I have photographed numerous wedding and portraits for a great deal of their family and friends so, for me, it was kind of a reunion of sorts seeing many people who had been in front of my lens in the past.

Their ceremony was held at St Carthages Cathedral in Lismore and the reception at the Ballina RSL. All day the weather was a bit of a threat with it being very windy and rain didn’t look too far away. That turned out to be great for me. While taking wedding photographs on the beach at Ballina the sky turned wild up towards Byron Bay making for a spectacular back drop.
