Byron Bay Film Festival
About 2 years ago, I began using my DSLR camera to shoot video. With the aim of honing my skills, Pierre-Jacques and I decided to make a short film around where we live. Working with non-actors and at the mercy of time constraints and the weather, our project grew in a very organic way into […]
The Fieseler Storch
I’ve just had another one of those days where I’m reminded how much I love my job. I had an impromptu flight over Byron Bay in a WW2 replica Fieseler Storch – a nippy little plane that can fly like a bird – turning and swooping and almost grazing the tops of the trees. So […]
Thanks Arts Northern Rivers!
I am the featured artist this month on the Arts Northern Rivers site. Aside from the interview with me, it’s a great resource with so much interesting information about the arts in our region – click here to check it out
Byron Bay PopUp
I had fun last week photographing the PopUp shop that popped up at the old Byron Library. The library never looked so good! This was an initiative of Northern Rivers Creative. See more about what they do here
More floods!
It seems that we in the Northern Rivers are destined to live with rain, rain and more rain. The up-side is that we are surrounded by a lush green paradise!
V-Day Byron Bay
Feb 14, 2013. Around the world people gathered to show their outrage about the tide of violence against women. Byron Bay saw a beautiful sunny morning with an enthusiastic bunch of dancers, spurred on by powerful words from Zenith Virago. The event ended with a big nude swim and more dancing to Aretha. What a […]
Back in time…
I love Brunswick Heads. I spent a couple of days there with friends recently and felt like I was in a time warp.
Filming the beachside markets
Yesterday was a perfect sunny day for the Byron beachside market. I was there to film for an upcoming advertising campaign and found that the markets seems to be about the only place that you can still find the ‘spirit of Byron’. Loads of talented artists and artisans touting their wares with good humour and […]
Beached Santa…
I’m not sure if it’s Santa washed up on the beach or PJ masquerading as a sapin de noel… We had fun making these pictures while making the most of Christmas on the beach!
Playing on the phone…
Something that I love about tutoring is how much I learn… During a session on Lightroom with Glenda, she showed me her Instagram library. She’s doing some really cool stuff! Check her out #butterflyblue She pointed me in the direction of an app for slow shutter speeds. Thus the photo of PJ in his speedy […]
Bruny Island recce
I was also in Tasmania to research the ultimate Bruny Island adventure/ workshop for a bunch of lucky photo enthusiasts next March. We had been to Bruny a couple of times before whilst filming for the Garagistes doco, but I wanted to find the perfect spot to base our workshop. We found it at Sunset […]
