Bliss N Eso – Down by the River

Whenever I’m driving around, which seems to be quite a lot, I’ve always got either Triple J or FBI tuned into the radio. One song I can’t help but turn up is Down by the River by Bliss N Eso… I’ve been a fan of a number of their tunes and am really loving this track at the moment.

Ok ok… so even though I may crank up the radio on occasions I do turn it down when i’m stopped at lights… I don’t wanna be one of “those” guys. Hmmm, now I’m one of those people who puts things in quotation marks… damn. Don’t worry, I didn’t do the quotation mark “fingers”

… whats happening to me. Sigh.

Enjoy.

Sydney Advertising Photography – Horsing Around

So, I took these couple of pics a while back to put in my advertising photography portfolio. I like to bring an element of quirk to my photography, hmmm well… and to my sense of humour… so these cheeky photos probably speak somewhat of who I am.. yeah thats right… I like to make a habit of dressing in horse masks and setting buildings on fire*

** Is not true… BURN! mwuhaha… ummmm.. hmmm.

Sydney Storm Photography

My 2nd shooter Rachael and I like to get out once a week and explore a new location, see what ideas we can come up with and generally push ourselves to stay fresh and continue exploring and growing as photographers, the ideas of which we can then bring to our wedding photography. Yesterday we headed out to South Head on what was a gorgeous sunny Sydney day. After wandering around for an hour or so we could see heavy clouds rolling in over Sydney’s skyline. Perched up on South Head gave us a great vantage point where we sat and watched the dramatically changing weather.

Rain was clearly coming our way and we were faced with the decision of heading back to to the car and missing some awesome shots or waiting around, grabbing some photos and taking cover in a nearby bunker left present from world war 1 (I believe)… We chose the latter option… here we sat for an hour waiting for the storm to pass, we were joined by 2 other randoms and later during the storm a wet shirtless backpacker!

Anyway, it was beautiful overlooking Sydney Harbour as the storm rolled through, we had a great day and our equipment came home dry… WIN!

Sharolyn - Hey Sam, I checked out the tutorial, great job. I look forward to more of these as I have so much to learn and you really seem to have a great grasp on things. Thanks for putting the time into it.

sydney wedding photographer – Renata & Siam

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Renata & Siam last week. Although a small scale registry wedding the day was wonderful and felt more like a group of friends coming together for a celebration than a large affair where the day is spent focusing more on the event than what is real… the friends, the family and the reason the day is happening, love.

I had a great time being welcomed into their lives for the day, it was a fabulous occasion!

Enjoy.
