Stefan Jewellers opens new Perth store

We have recently been commissioned to photograph the new Stefan Jewellers Perth Store. The showroom is spread out over two floors with various lighting sources and colour temperatures. Some time was spent correcting colour temperature in post and levelling out the huge contrast range from the bright display cabinets.

ANZ Bank North Perth

Here is a recently Architectural shoot of the old 1817 North Perth Building that has been converted into a new ANZ Bank. The ground floor went through major renovations to cater for the banks special needs such as reinforcing the floor to accommodate the Safe. The shoot ran over a few hours just after the bank closed for the day. Here are a few images from the shoot.

Toni & Guy Subiaco

The new Toni & Guy Salon has opened in Subiaco just a couple of streets from our Studio. This was a nice close location for the shoot. Designed by Mata Design Studio the two level 150 sqm interior was shot over twilight with special attention given to controlling the bright lights and dark interiors. The externals were shot with car trails running across the frame adding some additional foreground interest.

Cocoon Fires

I recently shot the product range for Cocoon Fires . The cool looking architectural freestanding fireplaces run on biofuel alone. The Full day shoot was shot on location in Northbridge with all props brought in by the stylist. Lighting was set to balance the light from the flames. Many images were shot for each setup to get the flames looking its best. Care had to be taken when shooting into the mirrored marine grade stainless steel to avoid any unwanted reflections.

Venn - Queen St Perth

Venn has recently opened in Queen St Perth. The converted old flour mill in now a funky three level bar / cafe, retail shop, art gallery and artist studios. Designed by Matthews Architecture Venn has become an instant perth hotspot. Our shoot began 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon and by 6.30 the bar was at capacity. Only available lighting was used on the photographic shoot as it was not possible to run lights and power cords with so many people.

Here are a few architectural photographs from the shoot.

I recently shot the newly completed luxury apartments by Mirvac located on Leighton Beach.

The shoot ran over 3 days, every room/angle was shot in either early mourning late afternoon and or in evening light depending on its orientation and how the natural light filled the shot. Plenty of artifical light was also braught in to to create the desired look.

Here is some images from the shoot. More images can be viewed http://beachsideleighton.com.au/index.html

88 Noodle Bar

88 Noodle Bar on the casino gaming floor at Burswood Entertainment Complex is now open. With the Interior design by Mata Design Studio, we recently shot the interiors first up in the mourning to avoid the crowds. The biggest challenge apart from colour balance was keeping details in both highlights and shadows. This was solved making 3 exposures and blending images in photoshop.
