Burleigh Brewing BLA 2017

What an incredible evening of fun at the Brewing Local Artists 2017 art exhibition at the Burleigh Brewing taphouse. Getting involved with the local artist community is one of my biggest passions. Seeing so many cool different art styles and getting to show off my own photography is always such an honour. My favourite artists on the evening were Tamara Armstrong and Go Suga, two distinctly different art styles, but each so captivating.

I chose to show surf images taken in ambient light, after sunset from the Gold Coast. It is always a challenge shooting in low light. Some of the exposures from that evening were over 2 seconds, which is a phenomenal challenge in a moving body of water and capturing a moving subject (the surfer).

Thanks to Burleigh Brewing for having me on the evening and for taking the time to support our arts community.

Early morning sleep ins...

I was up early for a photoshoot with talented young logger Jordan Spee from the Sunshine Coast but he had been sick as of late and we decided to postpone the shoot. 

When I did my first surf check, there were 25 people in the water before sunrise and it was one foot...it can only mean one thing...Sunday! 

Without my board with me and with camera in hand, I snapped a couple of photos of some happy crew that were enjoying the Sunday Sliders....Happy Weekend Everyone!

Photoshoots and Evenings at Snapper 12 May 2016

I wasn't meant to be at Snapper yesterday afternoon. After an afternoon text requesting my presence for a portrait photo of myself for an interview with Aaron Chapman, I gathered myself and arrived to a classic golden Rainbow Bay sunset.

After having my portrait taken, I couldn't help but swim out into the lineup to snap a few photos of the local crew (and Aaron ran to the car, grabbed his board and got some slides in himself!) Depending on the direction you looked, it was either stunning yellows or lucid pinks. This is our Southern Gold Coast...
