It’s raining, after midnight and cold. Perfect conditions for a photo shoot? We thought so. Thankfully all equipment survived and Nadine wasn’t complaining too much 
Here’s a few of our favourites:
Thanks Nadine for braving the elements xx
Thanks also to Canon for making equipment that is at least mildly water resistant!
Here’s a few favourites from my close friends Lauren and Warren’s wedding in Melbourne. I met Warren about 10 years ago in London and we’ve been mates ever since. Woz is a down to earth, genuine, honest bloke who I really look up to. He also has the most contagious laugh, which is super handy at parties as you can always find him no matter how crowded the room.
Lauren is a perfect match for Woz. She keeps him in line but always does so with a smile on her face 
She’s smart, funny, very sweet AND looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress.
My aim for the day as with every wedding, was to try and capture true emotion and really tell the story of the day through my photos. They’re a happy, fun and cheeky couple, so I wanted the images to reflect that.
It absolutely bucketed down when we went off to do the couples portraits. Made for some cool atmospheric images though. For this one we had about 5 umbrellas going, covering flash units etc. Thankfully the couple stayed reasonably dry. Can’t say the same for myself but was all worth it!
Scott, delivering his best man speech. Notice the image in the background? Warren’s face on Justin Bieber’s body. Hilarious. Had the entire room keeled over.
Nana was so cute. I love moments like these.
Thanks again for having me there Woz and Loz. Was an honour to be there and has ended up being one of the best weddings I’ve ever had the privilege of photographing.
Big love,
Damo
Here’s a few of my favourites from my recent shoot with paid search masters Net Media Planet. They’d hired some new staff, so called me back in to capture some fun headshots of the new team. Absolutely love working with these guys as we get to be creative and produce headshots that are beyond your average business portrait. Net Media Planet are a fun, young and vibrant company and these images help show that to their clients.
Thanks guys for being great sports and making it a fun shoot. Already looking forward to the next one
Here’s a look behind the scenes on a photo shoot with Viva La Bop. Video camera work by the legendary Paul Bates. Editing by the superstar that is Nadine Schneider. Watch it in the player below or for the full HD version head on over here.
A few of the final images:
It was a super long day, but we managed to get some great images all out of the one (albeit destroyed at the end of the day!) bedroom:
Here’s a few photos from my recent shoot with GlaxoSmithKline. We needed a lot of gear for this one as there were several different setups required. On top of that tight schedules of the people being photographed meant we had to leave our first setup as is, while we went to shoot other people within the grounds, then back to our original setup. It was a busy day but we achieved a lot so I was happy. In total we had 8 flash units, 11 stands and countless cases of gear. Our poor little hire car probably didn’t know what had happened to it!
First we setup a full studio onsite:
Then we took quite a few photos of different people on white seamless. Here’s Ian, a rather important chap at GSK but very down to earth and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Proofing the images with the client:
The super happy woman hiding in the shot behind me? That’s Carol. I roped her in to help me make my subjects laugh. She was awesome!
Onto the meeting room shots that will be used for brochure/PR use. I wanted a natural look to these images but also didn’t want them to be flat and boring. Ended up using two flash units on very low power, just to add some definition and boost the ambient light in the scene.
And of course you can’t go to one of the worlds biggest pharmaceutical companies without getting a few obligatory lab shots
Thanks GSK. Look forward to working with you guys again soon.
Cheers,
Damian
