The 'burbs.

Hey!

Here is something I saw the other day while shooting in Point Cook. New developments have been popping up so quickly in parts of the outer suburbs that this type of suburb/farmland frontier is quite common.

I plan on enlarging this to roughly 150x50cm size print. The smaller image below is a detail of one of the houses so you can see the grain.

Cheers,
Brad.

NEW WEBSITE!!

Hey Hey!

My brand spanking new website is up and live... fairly excited and really happy with it. It took about a month for me to put together in my spare time using jAlbum and a bit of hack .html coding.

All new photos... (well 99% all new)... and almost 250 of them!

This one is a lot more flexible for me to edit and update so come back occasionally and especially check the 'Projects' section which will be added to as often as I can.

'Like' BOTH my webpage AND my Facebook Page if you haven't already... I won't pester you and it makes me feel (and look) loved!

APPAs

Hey,

I have entered the APPAs! The Australian Professional Photography Awards. If the judges like them it is the first step in collecting award merits to rise through the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photographers) membership levels.

I decided to only enter the Commercial/Architectural section, some of my non-commissioned stuff might have done ok in the Art or Illustrative sections but I like the idea of being judged on work that was shot specifically for a client.

These are the 4 images I entered, commissioned in order by Interior Designer Peter Schaad, Pool Builder Lifestyle Pools, Kitchen Designer and Builders Orana Kitchens and Architects Arch:10.

These images represent the best of my Architectural Photography at them moment.They are what I consider 'straight' architectural photography, meaning I composed and edited the photos to show off the clients work as naturally as possible without stylising filters or dramatic editing. It will be interesting to see how this style goes in the awards.

That said a lot of photoshopping has been done... the exteriors are composites of around 7 different exposures and on top of that there are numerous adjustment layers in each... but the finished result is meant to look essentially how you would see it with your naked eye in real life.

Wish me luck, judging is on 26th May at the PMAs.
(And thanks to Ali for convincing me to edit this post!)

Cheers,
Brad.

Melbourne Museum

Hey,

My favorite Architectual Photographer is Tim Griffith. His work is amazing, simple and perfectly balanced composition and aways capturing light in a way that tells a story about both the building and its environment. Below are some of my photos that were inspired by cruising through his website.

 

Cheers,

Dusk Shoots.

Hey, 

Here is some work I did last week for Arch:10 Design and Construction. I was especially happy with the front externals all the angles and shapes photographed really well. It is a perfect example of how much better dusk/evening photo shoots really are. It is not necessarily about looking dark, but making the most out of the internal and external lights and balancing that with the ambient natural light, this really emphasises the drama of the design.

Cheers,
Brad.

Ontario Barns.

Hey,
I recently had a little trip to Canada and here is the first posting of the photos I took while I was away... enjoy! Click on the photo for a larger view.

Canadian farming is obviously a lot different than Australian. These shots were taken just before Christmas Day, it was around -10 and there had been a small drop of snow over night that freshened things up nicely. These barns are near Brockville, Ontario but similar scenes can be found accross the country.

Cheers,
Brad.

Cabinet Makers Photos

Hey,

Sorry it has been 5 weeks since the last post... it is now official the Laneways and Rooftops book is at the printers and will be launched with a bit of a party at the end of November... more details to follow.

I also owe you a time-lapse from the Eureka Tower shoot... I will get to it... been a bit busy finishing the book and getting the next round of magazines shot.

In the mean time this is the type of stuff I've been up to... here is a nice kitchen, bathroom and wall-unit by Elyse Cabinets.

This is an example of what is included in a shoot for the Magazine..."Melbourne Kitchen and Bathroom Design". So if you have just booked some pages with them for the next edition and are checking me out I look forward to meeting you! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions.

I remember back in the old days when so much white would have freaked me out because controlling exposure and white balance in this type of space but maintaining a natural feel is technically a bit tricky. Needless to say I have it sorted now and love shooting space with such clean lines and flowing angles.

Cheers,
Brad.
