Self Portriat

I was feeling a bit bored today, (not that I don’t have plenty to do) but I thought it would be a good time for myself to get in front of the camera (not a lot of photo’s of me floating around apparently) yep so this is a studio self portrait of me, taken and edited by me, ………. spare a thought for my poor wife having to look at this face every day, at least now I can see where my beard is crooked icon wink Self Portriat

If anyone would like to book a custom portrait sitting like this, Id love to hear any idea’s, if we shoot soon it can be ready by christmas

Body Psyche by Lachlan Clarke – Commercial Photography

In this day and age where every second person you come across is a Personal Trainer (and a photographer I might add), it’s hard to find a professional that’s done the time and the hard yards.

Your body is designed to move.  It wants to move as much as it can. It wants to move efficiently and it wants to look amazing.

Enter Lachlan Clarke.  He knows what works and is very good at transforming bodies.

Being an experienced, qualified and versatile personal trainer Lachlan takes the time to understand everything about you.

‘I want to make people feel better. It’s as simple as that’

Lachlan created body psyche based on his philosophy of what it takes to mold and shape a lean, healthy looking body, where nothing is left to chance.

‘I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve produced and absolutely love my job. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else’

Lachlan sets a high bar and expects the same from his clients. He oozes professionalism, educates with energy and places a huge emphasis on posture, process and performance.

His incredible drive, creative exercises, infectious enthusiasm and articulate insights on fitness have lead to featured media work in Women’s Health Magazine.

Lachlan is committed to positioning body psyche as a premium personal training brand where serious people go to get their bodies into seriously good shape.

Essence of Living – Commercial Photo shoot

Michelle Merrifield would have to be one of my favorite people on the planet, I feel very uplifted after talking to her, the good energy rubs off that’s for sure. Not long ago I had the pleasure of photographing Michelle and her sister Clare for an early morning sunrise, Michelle and I always get amazing photo’s together but this was extra special being able to be photographed together with her sister. Imagine doing this for a living, extraordinary if you ask me, I remember last being that flexible when I was about 4, If you ever get a chance to catch a class at essence of living, don’t think twice about it, you couldn’t be in better or nicer hands.

Not long ago I had the very yummy pleasure of shooting the new menu for east nightclub in Broadbeach, the food is as tasty as it looks in the photo’s, be sure to go in for a taste.

The biggest thing for me while shooting food is to be sure to shoot it in a fashion so that the food stands out, having it vibrant, color correct, focus specific and having the lighting set up in a way to show the many layers, textures and highlights of each dish is a must, you have to want to eat the photo pretty much, if your customers mouths aren’t watering when they see the photo’s online or in your menu, the photo’s aren’t working……….hands up for smellavision icon wink East nightclub   Broadbeach   food photography

Mei Mei and Juliet Fashion photo shoot

Job Type : Fashion photography Catalogue  - photo shoot

Location :  West End and Fortitude Valley (Zuri Nightclub), Brisbane,  Australia

Shoot Duration : 3 Days

Model : Michelle McNamee

Hair and Makeup : Michelle Da Costa

Photographic assistant : Greg Taylor

Shoot setup : Canon 5dmk2, Canon 70-200mm, 2.8, is usm mk2, Canon 50mm 1.4, Eisntien 640 x4, 2 large softboxes, 2 large silver umbrellas, bard doors with assorted grids, shooting tethered via lightroom.

 

Its was a fun 3 days, no complaints here, I got to pick one of my favorite fashion models to work with, Michelle McNamee, Michelle is just a true professional, I think that paying for a professional like her actually saves time and money, provided that we had everything else right it was a no brainer, all I had to do in the end was point the camera at her, (ahhh I wish it was that simple) almost icon wink Mei Mei and Juliet Fashion photo shoot , I was also fortunate enough to have another amazing team member on board for the shoot, Michelle Da Costa, WOW, that pretty much sums her up, WOW, amazing, talk about knowing her stuff, cant wait to work with her again, a lot can be said for having the right people on the job, Michelle’s hair & makeup was flawless, so many changes and so effortlessly done, the whole process went like clockwork. We had close to 300 garments to photograph, different hair, makeup and accessories for the majority of them as well, “we did it easy”

The main worry for my client was to be able to capture and reproduce all the garments in true color as you would see them, great lengths had to be taken to ensure this, white balance was set and double checked as we went as well as grey carding every set up for any needed color correction, I think this is most important for fashion photography, especially for catalogue work, it just has to be right.

Day 1 we spent at Zuri nightclub, I was working mostly with a 3-4 light set up, love that place, so rich

Day 2-3 I set up a mobile studio at the clients warehouse (yes I can set up anywhere)

DJ Kronic and Bombs Away advertising photo shoot

 

Job Type : Commercial adverstising, musician – photo shoot

Location : Southport studio, Gold Coast, Australia

Time : 11am makeup, 12pm shoot time, photo vshoot duration was 4 hours.

Client : Central Station records/Universal records

Artists : Bombs Away and DJ Kronic

Equipment used : Canon 5D mk2, canon 50mm, canon 24mm, 4 Einsteins 640, 2 large soft boxes, 2 large silver umbrellas

?WTF IS BOMBS AWAY?

Bombs Away are one of the hardest working acts in the club industry at the moment, with tracks hitting the charts & staying there!
Remixing & f#cking with names like Ceelo Green, Akon, Dirty Loud, Katy perry, Mike Posner, Mind Electric & Touring till they know the inflight saftey manual like the next days hangover! They’re rocking Festival lineups & sold out shows all summer, no doubt smashing your next fkn party!

The Bombs Away LIVE sound is Thomas Hart(Vocals/Synth) & Sketch(Guitar/Vocals/DJ) f#cking around to drop stylin, party rockin sets that sound pretty much like the soundtrack to Obama backflipping out of a helicopter.

Thomas Hart was the kid that never shut up, a B Boy from 13 grabbing the crown of Beatbox & MC tourneys before moving on to Electro and rocking beatport Top100′s!
Sketch comes from playing guitar badly in crappy Punk bands, moving on to DJing trying to actually be good at something other than Pogo Sticks! Taking out #53 Nationally in the ITM DJ POLL, along with BEST ELECTRO DJ in the PD Music Awards before forming Bombs Away!

?DJ Kronic ?

Maybe it’s time Kronic dropped the ‘dj’ from his title.

Let’s be serious, what kind of DJ climbs atop of the dj console, mid-set, and starts jumping around? This reckless abandonment of personal safety is far from a gimmick. Rather, it’s a perfect example of the festive like energy and excitement Kronic brings to the club.

It’s this intensity that has transformed the Adelaide native into a national club icon. After three years of constant Australian touring, and supporting some of the industry’s biggest names (Grandmaster Flash, 50 Cent, Kelly Clarkson, The Game, LMFAO, Snoop Dogg, Akon, to name a few), Kronic has cemented himself as one of Australia’s a-list urban dj’s.

In 2010, however, Kronic is burying the word ‘urban’. With just two hours, a trademark Kronic set encompasses every crowd-rocking genre known to club-goers. Drawing inspiration from Vegas mash up dj’s such as Clinton Sparks and DJ AM, Kronic moves through hip-hop & rnb to house, electro and even classic rock to keep drinks in hand, and hands in the air.

However, it’s Kronic’s own mash ups, remixes and original production that are fast becoming the calling card of his live shows. His ‘shots of bonkers ‘ mash up has become an international phenomenon, whilst his production debut – ‘cocaine’ – has popped up on mixtapes, blogs & club sets around the world.

Building upon the viral success of these records, Kronic is using 2010 as the launching pad of his production career. Armed with an abundance of remixes and original tracks awaiting release, Kronic’s invasion of the dance music charts is imminent.

With his debut single set for a may release, Kronic will embark on a nationwide single launch tour, visiting over 30 venues across the country.

Until then, you can find Kronic raising hands and heartbeats on the Gold Coast, holding down residencies at the two hottest clubbing destinations – Vanity & SinCity whilst maintaining his regular guest spots across the country.
