Here are some images of the newly opened Linton and Kay Perth gallery. The gallery situated in the old Perth Technical School has been gone through major renovations that has blended new modern elements with the existing old building features. The Gallery will feature works from local, national and international artists in the various exhibition spaces. Images were shot in daylight, large studio lighting was used to lift up light levels in certain parts of the scene with careful consideration as to not compromise on the original look and lighting design of gallery.

Superyacht Zenith Photography

I have just completed photography of a new 37m catamaran by Incat Crowther and Waterline Yacht Design. Photography took place just out of Fremantle in Western Australia over two days. Day one comprising of all the onboard photography followed by a early mourning aerial shoot of the yacht cruising off leighton Beach. Photography was made difficult due to all power onboard being 110V as it was to be based in America our 240V lights required some modifications to work.
Here are a few images from the shoot.

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.

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.
