How to backup your images using my photography backup workflow

Back to the 70’s for this Perth Car Photographer
11 Sep, 2017I take a little trip back in time for this 1970’s themed car photoshoot where we had to produce a magazine front cover for the RAC Horizons Magazine. I feel like maybe I should have dressed up in 1970’s attire as well and made the crew do it. It would have made for a much […]

Creating the Rise of the Machines Terminator Group Portrait
2 May, 2017I started shooting creative group portraits for Top Shelf Entertainment over 8 years ago now. I’ve been responsible for the imagery behind every single show they have ever done and the pressure is constantly on me to outdo myself. Most of that pressure probably comes from my own perfectionism and willingness to do great. Regardless though, […]
