Commercial Shoot – Womens Premier League

Northern NSW Football contacted us to do a promotion shoot for the w-league girls in Newcastle. They wanted to create a glamour/disco theme for promoting the league. None of these women are models, they are all womens premier league football players. We had so much fun shooting the girls on a white background after they had their hair and makeup done. We had them shouldering each other and jumping for headers (without a ball of course). I used 1 main light in front of the girls and a few background lights on the white background. I think the poster is awesome. Below are the original images from the shoot. Thanks to Alana for hair and makeup, Dave Cromarty (northern nsw football) for using us again, and a special thanks to the girls for doing their thing and making it a fun night. Enjoy, Brent.

Commercial – Samurai Beach Resort

Recently Samurai Beach Resort renovated and upgraded some of their cabins, and they contacted us for a commercial shoot to show off the new cabins with a weekend getaway “model couple” theme. These images are to be used in their new brochures and on the website (when it’s upgraded). Becky and her partner arrived for the shoot at noon and we proceeded to shoot the inside images.

In the deluxe studio apartment they have these awesome wood spas, all handmade in Australia. Very unique and they lend to the outdoor – high end retreat feel you get when visiting this resort. They even smell good…..anyone for a little aromatherapy?

I came back at dusk for the nigh shots…to give the cabins a more romantic, warm feel. I always use hdr technology (3 exposures shot from a tripod – edited to create 1 image) when shooting low light images.

This is the 4th or 5th time I have worked with Becky, and she really is a superb professional model, so easy to work with. I highly recommend her. Brent

Allegria Dance Company

We have been shooting Allegria Dance Co. now for about 4 years. This is so much fun for us, and every year the girls from Allegria come up with some amazing costumes and themes.

This year the theme was CINEMATIC and there were 3 images we needed for the posters and advertising for the end of year concert.

I decided to try something new, combine my still photography with some high definition video. Since I purchased my new canon 5d mark 2 camera I have been experimenting with hd video.

Attached are the poster images, plus a short movie called CINEMATIC

Enjoy.

Commercial – Teambuilding Event

Avenue Capital Management contacted us to photograph their annual conference and team building event at Peppers Anchorage in Corlette. This was held over 3 days, and my job was to photograph the events each day and night, and then put together a slideshow with music that was presented each morning before the conference started.

I was amazed at how much fun the teambuilding was. They had challenges ranging from giant jenga, to building a catapult using skewers.

On the 2nd night we were treated to a cruise on moonshadow cruises around port stephens and then they had the awards dinner at the point restaurant at soldiers point marina.

The conference ended with an 80’s themed dinner and dance. I love shooting people when they let loose and have fun. The challenge was how to show movement, fun, and costumes in low light conditions. I used the technique of “dragging the shutter” to create images that were unusual and fun.

Thank you to avenue capital for choosing us to record this event, it was so much fun to be a part of it.
