House & Garden Magazine

Here are some images from a recent House and Garden magazine shoot. The Beach house located in Baldivis a one hour drive south of Perth was designed by Optimum Resource Architects . The Holiday house is just meters from the Ocean and blends in with its surroundings through the use of natural building materials. A natural look to the lighting was required for the photos just two or three studio heads with large soft diffusers were used as fill and to balance the light and outside the windows without overpowering the views. Here are some images below from the shoot, you can read the article and see more photos in the current January issue of Australian House & Garden Magazine on sale now.

Perth Aerial photography and Cityscape

The week before Christmas I was commissioned to photograph the Perth City Skyline from both ground level and from the air to show off Frasers Property Group's new site located on the corner of Hay Street and Adelaide Terrace East Perth. The site will house 288 apartments and townhouses, commercial space, a new retail precinct and a luxurious apartment hotel. Part one of the photography was the Aerials that required a nice blue day and the charter of a helicopter. As you can see in the images below the door comes off allowing more freedom to move and less chance of the aircraft to appear in the images.


Part two of the shoot was the ground level views from South Perth. After a reccie shoot all along the South Perth foreshore two locations were selected by the clients. Each of the final panorama images below were stitched from 3-4 images. Various images were shot over a half hour time slot allowing for various looks.
