Almerta Station – Advertising Photography

Almerta Station Advertising Photography Sunset

The day arrived to set off on our incredibly rewarding adventure up North in the Flinders Ranges. We were fully prepared with all gear, cameras, lights and supplies for three days at the beautiful Almerta Station, just north of Orroroo in South Australia. It was so exciting to finally be driving down the entrance road to meet Shane who apparently was equally as excited to meet us! How perfectly exciting! 

After settling in to our homestead, Shane chauffeured us around her gorgeous Flinders Ranges property deciding where we were going to capture moments for the advertising photography she had planned to promote her station.

With so many opportunities and gorgeous locations for beautiful images, we made plans to easily fill the following two days. 

Between happy smiley kids and families completely loving the outdoors, stunning scenery and views from within the creek to the tops of the hills, the peaceful water hole, and the ever so loyal red dog who so diligently accompanied us to the top of the hill before sunset.. of course wanting to be in every photograph! ..our adventure was a complete success. 

Together we all created a range of images that bring to life the feelings and emotions that Almerta is all about.

We were so grateful to be part of this advertising photography project and loved absolutely every minute of our time up there.

SYC – Advertising Photographer

SYC Donuts Advertising Photographer

We were invited back by the awe-inspiring team from White Rhino to combine thoughts with them on an exciting project with their longstanding client, SYC. A new document was being designed and laid out that required a large range of colourful images to help tell the story. This was absolutely what we love to be a part of and accepted with enthusiasm to join the fun!

 

Being told during the first meeting that we were onboard again because we “smashed the last job out of the park”, put the pressure on! We love that.. let’s work even harder to bring this one home then! So excited! Advertising Photography is always challenging but so rewarding.

The list of required images was extensive with a lot of thought gone in from everyone involved, setting us on our way to help find suitable locations and backgrounds. Many hours of adventurous exploration brought what was required to move forward and get the the photo shoot days booked in. Of course, there was a small window to work within to get this all done!

Even with rain, early alarms to get to remote location on foot before sunrise, misplaced car keys, and some heavy wind requiring two people to hold onto a light stand, everything that makes us think harder, it is an absolute testament to everyone involved that every part of each day ran so smoothly and was truly brilliant. All images were delivered on time and the finished document told the story perfectly, with everyone at SYC still talking about how much they love the images months later. So proud 🙂

Looking forward to the next chapter..!

The Smelly Cheese Shop – Commercial Photographer ADELAIDE

Smelly Cheese Product Platter Commercial Photographer

I can’t believe how excited we get when the unloading of our huge amount of equipment begins, and start setting up for a seriously long day of cheese photography! Lights, cameras, ladders, props, backgrounds, stands, sandbags, tiles, wooden boards, computer, tripods, everything and more that we need as a commercial photographer! It always looks like so much, but then once we’re setup, and are using nearly everything we brought in, we think, wow! ..not to mention, how much exercise, steps and muscle toning there is going on!

The smell of amazing cheeses, the textures, colours, shapes, sizes and patterns, the vibrant conversation and enthusiasm from everyone on set, the loving of beautiful French accents expressing the sweet passionate L’amour of cheese and its appeal in each image, how could you ever want to do anything else! We love when everyone gets involved, ideas grow, cheese begins to shine, and beautiful images are created.. so truly rewarding 🙂 A huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful people that go out of their way to really make these photo shoots run so smoothly.

The Smelly Cheese Shop team are so much fun, and they exquisitely live, breathe and eat cheese! They of course sell a lot of it through their busy shop too! If you love cheese, or even if you just like cheese, make sure you give them a visit when you’re at the Adelaide Central Market next.

Fresh, Chèvre, Hard, Blue.. what’s your favourite?!

 

The Back Centre – Corporate Photographer ADELAIDE

Back Centre Lifestyle Commercial Photographer Adelaide

I remember shopping for a chair to sit at the computer with that was a bit different, and at the time, I remember seeing this super specialised shop, The Back Centre, that sell exactly just that! They were incredibly awesome on the phone when I spoke with them and the same day I had driven down and back with a loan chair to try. It was such a fantastic service, and of course I ended up purchasing the chair!

So.. now years later, I had a call from the funky team @ Figtree who said they have a seating client needing images produced for a new website.. well.. guess who that happened to be! How excited were we!

Through careful planning, style guides, attention to the details and plenty of communication, we arranged and re-arranged, then arranged, and I think re-arranged again..! a serious number of times, with the awesomely brilliant help of everyone involved, the showroom.. into various sets to showcase the products the Back Centre have on offer. Lots of laughs, more than plenty of chairs & tables, lots of fantastic people and lots of perfect harmonious energy brought the whole suite of images together super smoothly.

Again, we LOVE our job, and we love the people we meet and work with along the way. It’s all just so, well.. meant to be! Thanks to Figtree for having us along, and thanks to everyone at the Back Centre, Martha for Hair & Makeup and Neil for being the best additional impromptu assistant.. You’re all Soooo fantastic!

Royal Essence

Royal Essence Pink Commercial Photographer

We absolutely LOVE learning about small ideas that some clever person has had and turned into a booming business! It’s one of those inspiring yet, wish I had thought of that feelings that makes the roller coaster and adventure of life so awesome. We were asked by the very energetic and passionate about her business, Hannah, from Royal Essence to put together a range of colourful images, showing off her crazily brilliant idea of hiding a GUARANTEED 925 Sterling Silver Ring, Earring or Necklace inside Bath Bombs, Candles & other hand made by her team in South Australia products, to use on their instagram and other marketing.

Between fancy finger nail artwork and colour changes by the fabulous Natasha Keneally, the elegantly poised hands of Jenna Hudson holding props and laden with rings on her fingers, we enjoyed every minute of bringing together a bunch of very cool images in the studio that everyone was super excited about.

We even managed to get through the shoot without eating every prop beforehand:)!

Tonsley Innovation District

Tonsley Innovation District Garden Wide Commercial Photographer Adelaide

It seems an appropriate time to share some of our experiences and images of the simply amazing Tonsley Innovation District, right after their National Kone Award Win at the National Property Council of Australia Excellence Awards.

We have worked with both the ‘as always’, remarkable team from Renewal SA, and the down to earth and relaxed crew from Oxigen Landscape Architects, to create, on a number of different occasions and for different end uses, a range of images showing off this amazing South Australian productive hub.
Both inside with the dedicated real world learning and research areas, established businesses and startups, combining with the beautiful gardens and landscape architecture to create a truly comfortable and familiar experience, it is exceptionally cool to see the old Mitsubishi production site regenerated to offer amazing areas for people to learn, work, collaborate and study amongst, in a fantastically practical environment.

Through a mix of meticulously organised photo shoots, to the odd one with only hours to pull together, it was a great success on every occasion. We so love being involved with every project we are invited to create images for and Tonsley absolutely delivered an awesome adventure for us!

Paint Professionals

Maintenance Australia Building Services Commercial Photography Adelaide

Over the past few years, we have had a whole bunch of fun working closely with Marty from The Paint Professionals, Maintenance Australia & Paint Pad as well as Ros from One Crunch Websites, producing a range of different images to bring Marty’s businesses to life. Marty is one of the most calm and relaxed people I know and has the most warm & soothing voice to communicate with! The kind of personality you need to run multiple businesses!

Each photography project we have all worked on together is always such a compilation of excitement & adventure as we explore ideas to showcase Marty’s work. From playing with paint and props in the Studio to coordinating people and furniture outdoors in the morning sun, every shoot has been so much fun and so rewarding for everyone involved.

Our appreciation of Marty’s kindness and professionalism for his business is reinforced by his clients who we have spent time with capturing their thoughts, feelings and thank you’s on video.

We thoroughly enjoy every minute working with Marty & Ros and always look forward to whatever comes along next.

Play Pouch

Pouch Australia Aqua Pouch by Pool Commercial Photographer Adelaide

Pouch Australia is an Adelaide business started by two Super mums, Kate and Kate, who are the inspirational creatives behind this homegrown and now global company!

Starting from a ‘quick tidy’ idea for cleaning up and organising their own kids toys and play things, it is now being used in homes that want a simple tidy and storage solution that the child can manage with ease. This sounded like something we would absolutely love to be involved with 🙂
We were invited to produce a range of images to be used for their upcoming marketing and advertising photography campaigns, which we were super excited about.

Pouch Australia wanted their product to come to life, showing that they are fun, strong and modern, using funky designer fabrics, with their latest Aqua Pouch being waterproof, and that the kids can clean up easily and happily with minimum fuss.

The Pouch Australia photoshoot was a buzz of excitement, from the moment we met the crew/owners and their lovely, well mannered children who were the wonderful little models. The 2 Kates were so excited to be able to bring their ideas and inspirations to life through our photography.
With a plan, and some serious amounts of enthusiasm, complimented by happy communication, the day went super smooth, with each shot being an absolute pleasure to work through.

Setting up each photo and capturing children doing what they just do naturally, although some prompting and guidance is nearly always needed to get this rolling, is so rewarding.

Creating the waterproof AquaPouch image was a lot of splashing fun! We had a super hot day to work with, which was perfect for our little model whose feet were comfortably immersed in the twinkling water of the pool. Considering we all wanted to jump in and cool off, everyone did a fantastic job at staying focussed on getting the the right shot. Speaking of the right shot, we nearly always shoot connected to a laptop, so that we can preview on a large screen what we are getting as we go, making it a more precise and efficient experience for everyone involved.

This fun filled and productive day was such a creative and logistical yet completely satisfying whirlwind! A huge thanks to everyone involved.. Tristelle, Em, Neil (from the UK!) Serrelle and of course all the wonderful kids.

So loved this :)!

 

Shepherds Hill Dental

Shepherds Hill Dental Reception

It can be a scary thing heading to the dentist! Although, this time was refreshingly different.
We were invited by the super special team from Shepherds Hill Dental to create a suite of images for their shiny new website. Just what we love doing at the dentist!

Feeling pretty excited to be heading in without having to sit in the chair, feeling though, even more excited to be working with them doing what we absolutely love 🙂

They run a comfortable & friendly practice up in Blackwood that look after a whole range of teeth & gums, from very tiny little people, right through to well used ones that have seen a lot of work! Huge smiles and real service seem to be what they are all about, with a genuine care and passion for looking after one of the most important things we have.

Coordinated to perfection by Renee, Tharaka and the girls, along with happy smiles and full dedication from the models, we loved every minute of our time bringing together the collection of images that were needed.

Looking forward to our next visit ;)!

Technical Urethanes

Technical Urethanes Flame

It’s so fascinating to see what people get up to in their jobs and workplaces, from the details to the whole picture bringing together why we absolutely love what we do! There’s a real excitement of seeing something wonderful and new along with meeting superb people that inspire motivation.

We recently were asked to get involved with a new website build by One Crunch for Technical Urethanes and create a suite of images showing off what they create, and elements of the processes they go through. This type of work always excites us, being up close and getting to see what goes on behind the scenes.

These guys manufacture a huge variety of custom specific polyurethane components for many different industry and manufacturing applications. They have a super methodical process going on, yet happily included us along for the hand made journey of some very cool products. The Technical Urethanes team are so passionate about their work making our job an absolute dream, with colourful, funky looking components made by crew who love what they do. It’s perfect when people put their heart into a project making for a rewarding end product for everyone.

Thanks guys for the the rocking insight into your niche, specialised business of Polyurethane.

Beerenberg Family Farm

Beerenberg-Cheeseboard-Paste-Pots-Fig-&-Pomegranat

The beautiful people @ Beerenberg are so super pleasant and fun to work with 🙂 There’s such a relaxed and positive vibe that everyone seems to have going on, in Australia’s favourite Family Farm for Condiments & Sauces.


We have been photographing a range of different things for them over the years and loved every minute of all of it. Through finessing in the studio or spending time up on and around the Farm in Hahndorf, there’s always a fantastically huge smile from the inside on every job!

We are pretty lucky to have sampled possibly every product Beerenberg produce and seem to be happily having regular stock of our favourites in the home at all times! ..not to mention helping to grow the addiction in many of our friends and family too!

Really truly loving being a part of the inspirational and exciting journey with Beerenberg and can’t wait to see what yummy sensation they will come out with next!

My Kingdom for a Horse

My-Kingdom-for-a-Horse-Blog-Main

We had the excitement of seeing and documenting the entire process for the build of this perfectly slightly retro Specialty Coffee House in Wright Street Adelaide.

Working closely were the fantastically motivated owner duo Emily & Rachel, the consistently articulate Builders, Interior, Samantha Agostino and her gorgeous furniture taste & interior design, hot chairs from 1K Chairs beautiful tables from Agostino and Brown and Kellie from Parallax Design bringing the ultimate in graphic design and signage. Together they have grown a very swish and popular space that we totally loved photographing.

We managed to stop for a break and sit down in the super comfy lounge area for the greatest coffee experience and most colourful & tasty food around 🙂 Well done and thanks everyone for the opportunities! Loving your work.

Have a look at more images from this project.

Boris The Cuttery

Boris Australian Hair Fashion Awards 2015 Winner

I’ve never really been into cutting my hair at any routine interval, and been mostly content with whatever goes on the day! Until.. combined with the awesome minds in at Mash Design, Samantha Agostino, and the fantastic team at Interior, I was introduced to the truly inspirational owner of Boris The Cuttery, Damien Rinaldo. We spent a rather long evening a little while back composing a suite of images showing off their stand out Salon on the Parade in Norwood.

I now manage to squeeze in once every few months or so to have some thinning out and styling of my hair which I totally look forward to, not just for the hair attention but to enjoy every minute of Damien’s down to earth conversation about all things real and exciting. I thoroughly enjoy his positive attitude along with the attention to detail and unique personality that shines.

Recently he has taken out the 2015 Australian Hair Fashion Awards. CONGRATULATIONS Team Boris!

Renewal SA Projects

Renewal SA Port Adelaide Wharf Dusk

It’s a super rewarding feeling when you receive positive feedback for a finished project. There’s nothing better than to know that you have delivered a job that everyone is excited about.


The team in at Renewal SA have had us running around Adelaide recently creating images for their tightly dead-lined projects which we absolutely loved being a part of. We were all smiles after reading a bunch of emails from the team and how pleased they were with what we delivered 🙂
Thanks so much guys!

Ngeringa Vineyards & Winery

Ngeringa Vinyards Photoshoot

We love our work! and we love meeting new people and working with awesome people! Over the past few weeks we have been happily caught up in a super fun festival of image creation for Ngeringa, the beautiful certified biodynamic vineyard and winery on Mt Barker Summit in the Adelaide Hills.

Speaking of awesome people, Janet & Erinn own and run Ngeringa with an enormous energetic passion, making for a thoroughly enjoyable photographic adventure and tour around their gorgeous property.
We thoroughly enjoyed everything from the beautiful sunshine, through to the pouring rain, shooting from underneath umbrellas to Alba the cat following us around or laying peacefully asleep on our laptop case!

This journey has allowed us to again, supply images to the rockstar crew in at Figtree Digital who have designed and built Ngeringa’s new website – www.ngeringa.com

Figtree also did the website for Wotherspoon Wealth who we worked closely with for all of their image requirements earlier in the year.

A huge thanks to Janet and Erinn for being such wonderful hosts on our visits and working seamlessly with us to create a collection of images we all love! Your new web site is beautiful 🙂 Well done.

Market St

Market Street Adelaide Interior Daytime Small

It’s a wonderful thing to know someone who always compliments you, smiles with their heart and speaks with such excitable, yet calm and positive enthusiasm. Samantha Agostino peacefully ticks all those boxes making every conversation and meeting we have, and every job we do for her an absolute joy!
Not only is she a super cool person but her interior design work clearly reflects everything mentioned above!

We were asked to photograph one of her recent projects called ‘Market St’, a new cafe/market in Market Street, right near the Adelaide Central Markets.

Filled with intricately finessed details, a stylish blend of materials & textures, making for an awesome commercial photography project that we loved being a part of.

This vibrant fit out, graced with the combined talents of Graphic Designer – Lauren Lepore and Architect – Domenico Allegretto, is a real gem that stands right out in its grungy environment.

Not only does it look fantastic but the food is sensational too!

Have a look at more images from this project.

Yum!!

WAX Design Studio

The Adelaide Review Form April 2015

When I first met Warwick and Amanda from WAX Design, I couldn’t believe how truly respectful, classy and genuinely polite these two were! I know there are wonderful people out there but had to think twice about how nicely they spoke! Full of compliments and extruding super calm personalities we were drawn into their world where the rest of the WAX team spend much of their time.

We have been invited in to photograph these super relaxed creative crew, and sent lovingly around the state capturing the awesome landscape architecture that they create.

Recently we were asked to photograph their new Pirie Street Studio which is a gorgeous space that we thoroughly enjoyed spending time in. Combined with the beautiful recycled timber pieces from Samantha Agostino & Gareth Brown, (Agostino & Brown) and the passionate attention to uncovering and restoring the original raw interior, this space is somewhere I’d be more than happy to spend large chunks of time:)

The Adelaide Review used one of our images on the front of their Form Segment ‘Ethical design in practice’ where they interviewed Samantha & Gareth about their approach to sustainable practices in design. The WAX Design office was featured throughout the article. If you get a moment have a look.

Well done everyone and thanks too!

Wotherspoon Wealth

Wotherspoon Wealth Meeting

It’s a beautiful thing when you arrive at a job and are repeatedly and continuously treated as part of the family. The whole team in the office stand to both greet you and again to say goodbye when you leave! A bit special really! It makes us smile seeing that people are always excited and happy and loving what they are doing.

We have worked closely with Wotherspoon Wealth to produce a range of images for their new website which has been on every occasion a whole bunch of fun and at the same time a productive and rewarding experience for everyone.

Not to push them..! but these guys are truly calm and a real people group that look as though care is their number one goal, which from our experience makes them a winner!

Marshall Day Acoustics

Sir Harold Marshall Corporate Portrait

There seems to be an amazing selection of jobs unheard of to us that are slowly being revealed as we are invited to photograph their businesses. Marshall Day, an Australian business operating throughout the world who specialise in Acoustic Consulting and precision sound travel intrigued us recently with what they do.

We were asked to photograph portraits of them in an outdoor environment which turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year! Apart from spending all day in the amazing heat we learned about how they work tightly with architects and builders to ensure that auditoriums amongst other theaters and venues including the new Adelaide Convention Centre reflect sound so that it is heard with the same clarity both close to the stage and right up into the top level balconies. This related straight away to us with how light is reflected and bounced in both our photography work and the natural world.

The team at Marshall Day were like a big happy family with the founder, Sir Harold Marshall still happily involved after more than 34 years.

What an exciting business!

Just Bliss Chocolates

Just Bliss Chocolates Bus Advertisments

It’s not every day you are surrounded by mountains of small, yet beautifully delicate chocolates that you can touch but not eat! Well .. not us anyway!
We were asked by Adelaide company, ‘Just Bliss‘ to create some images showing off their hand crafted praline collections that were to be used on the sides of buses to promote their newest shop right off of Rundle Mall in Gawler Place.



Just Bliss Chocolate Bus

With the aroma of fresh chocolate filling the studio, white gloves and patience, we carefully constructed the final images. How exciting to think these little jewel like chocolates were going to be around 100 times their actual size travelling around Adelaide on the sides of buses. An awesome effort from everyone involved.. Well done.
Oh.. and we did get to eat many of them when we were finished, of course sharing with family and friends! Yum 🙂

Oxigen Landscape Architects

Oxigen Landscape Architects Roof Top Garden

Adelaide is clearly growing into a city with a niche of impressive buildings, beautiful places to hang out and office spaces that make you want to live at work!

Speaking of fantastic work spaces.. we have thoroughly enjoyed documenting the complete transformation of an old Halifax Street Art Gallery into what is now home to Oxigen Landscape Architects.

It’s pretty special seeing what goes into a building as its being meticulously constructed, so many hidden and behind the scenes processes that you would never know just by looking at the finished product. So much care and communication between everyone involved. It’s a beautiful thing. To see the whole process. have a look here, and also here.
A perfect blend of Oxigen, (Architect), Interior, (Builder) & Spud, (Fabrication) brought this awesome project to life.

 

The atmosphere in Oxigen Architects office is nothing but calm & relaxed, with a feeling of incredible productive happiness! Imagine having lunch in that rooftop garden!
