Superheroes with a difference

Posted 6 days ago

So I’m on the lookout for a model that’s a bit different. In a few weeks, I’m planning to go back to this location with Tim (who shot this wonderful image, btw).

The idea I have in mind, is to take the piss out of superheroes, and the image of the ripped body with skin tight upholstery.

I’m looking at using…

Wanna spend a day (or more) shooting in Melbourne?

Posted about 1 month ago

We’ve re-molded the shoot we’d planned for Abbotsford (lost the venue due to them doing restoration work).

Now we’re shooting at Quest East Melbourne (possibly the Jolimont campus as well), and All Nations backpackers on the Saturday.

If the stars align, on the Sunday we’ll also get to…

Group photo shoot

Posted 3 months ago

I’ve been a bit busy recently, organising a shoot at Abbotsford Convent.

Yes, that’s istockphoto you’re looking at on that link. We’re doing the recruiting there, just to keep it centralised, but we’re welcoming photographers from all over.

Tickets will likely cost about $150 (give or take) for the full day shoot.

Tee Designers - photo shoot

Posted 5 months ago

For those of you tee designers in Melbourne (or outside as well), I’ve got a steady line up of photo shoots over the coming months, with models willing and ready to wear your wares.

All I need at this stage, is for you to provide the …

Do you stock?

Posted 9 months ago

Any Melbourne photogs wanting to have regular meetups to shoot images for the stock image libraries (as a particular focus)?

I’ve started a google group to help people organise shoots in and around Melbourne, pool resources etc to hire models/lights, and to learn about some of the areas we’re needing to improve on.

Feel free to join up -...

Small

Posted 10 months ago

Geez there’s some small minded turds on here. They look down their noses at everyone and try to convince themselves how intelligent they are with their embittered commentary.

They don’t realise they’re revealing their ignorance or stupidity, because they’re too busy trying to think of a quick retort that will make them seem clever.

Odd that they’re idolised by some, and better that they’r…

Hanging up the boots

Posted 10 months ago

After a year on here, I’m reaching the point of walking away. Now that I no longer work for RedBubble I’m finding myself less inclined to engage with the community, and it’s a struggle to even perform some basic host duties in the two groups I co-host.

Not really sure why I should stay?
