Brisbane – Strangers doesn’t mean strange

I have embarked on a large portrait project that involves going to every capital city in Australia and photographing around 30 portraits of people I meet on the street. William (second last portrait) said that by spending the time chatting with him and photographing his portrait I made his day. Just as William felt, everyone who has shared a few minutes and allowed me to photograph their portrait has made my day.

It is the real and honest connection we have with people that truly makes us happy in life. Reach out to those around you, go places, embrace love, face your fears, take a deep breathe, close your eyes and smile because life is a wonderful thing.

John {portrait photography}

John.

He is a lovely man from New Zealand who was visiting Australia with his wife, Del. I met John on the street in Adelaide while photographing portraits for a personal project I’m working on. His gentle eyes have seen more life than I can even imagine. More portraits to come…

Mark and Marisha – Reception at Oaks Brassie, Canberra

Mark and Marisha had their wedding with 20 of their closest friends over in Las Vegas, USA. For those that couldn’t make it to the USA, they had a local reception for friends and family back here in Canberra. The reception was at Oaks Brassie in Yarralumla. We shot a few quick location portraits first and then just let the rest of the night unfold. Although we got some beautiful shots, my favourite would have to be the little girl holding her fathers finger. Enjoy
