PRE-PRE

Busy week falling into early pre-production on my new project SAFE HARBOUR. Monday and Tuesday was spent doing some initial exploring of Brisbane where the 4 x 1 hour mini-series will be shot from mid May 2017.

COMING UP NEXT

Had a great chat to Alistair Marks who hosts the podcast Coming Up Next, which focuses on 'creative careers'. Spoke about everything from the moment I decided to be a filmmaker through to some of my current projects both big and small. 

Those that know, know.

BIGGER THINGS

How amazing it would be to live by the ocean. Perched on the edge of a rock, remonded daily of the epic scale and proportion of nature and the beautiful world we live in. I hope I'd never grow tired of the ever changing spectacle that roll out every single day and night. I think this would be similar if living amongst giant mountains. Surely having so much big stuff around you helps you put the small stuff into perspective. 

I took the below photos about 20 minutes apart, from the balcony of a friends house in South Coogee. I stood and watched that huge cloud tumble over us and out to sea and then the 'wolf moon' floated up from behind the horizon, all blood red and stunning. The cloud and the moon helped put a few things into perspective.

BEAUTIFUL

I love this eerie promo for the track Beautiful People (ft Thom Yorke) taken from one my favorite releases for 2016, 'Under the Sun' by Mark Pritchard. 

Cool 'making of' video here...

MONSTER CHILDREN PREVIEW 'ALL OUT OF LOVE'

A preview of my soon to be released photo book ALL OUT OF LOVE is featured in the 2016 Monster Children Photo Annual which is currently on sale in Australia and the U.S. You can buy a copy here. Many thanks! 

It's almost done!

LONDON PORTRAITS

Just back from a ten day trip to shoot the London element of the campaign I'm currently working on. I love London but have never shot there and it was great experience overall. Met some great people. Friends I'll hopefully get to work with again. All the below portraits were taken with a new / old lens I bought while there, the Leica Summitar f2.0, built in 1939.

QUEENSLANDSCAPES

Just returned from a ten day commercial shoot through Queensland. Really great experience. Great cast, crew and locations. It really is a spectacular place. Looking forward to getting into the edit next week.

IF NOT HERE, THEN WHERE

Unexpected beauty reminding me to always be aware, ready and waiting. Have spent the last couple of weeks travelling through Queensland scouting locations for a commercial. Haven't been in the commercial world for quite a while and this project has been a welcoming return.
